  1. Well we have survived 3 years of cycling on two singles where he always cycles with me, even though I am dead slow. I think that has tested our relationship more than a tandem ever could!
  2. Hi there My husband and I are looknig at tandem bikes after he had to push me up suikerbossie! We are both mediums.... would we fit on a medium/small tandem as it appears they only come in these combo's, or would a large/medium be better? Any advice welcome!
  3. I thought that the Argus was traditionally a charity event, with the proceeds being split between PPA and Rotary. I was always under the impression that there wasn't any prize money because it was a charity event.
  4. Thanks. Can't say I'm too keen to be popping sublingual caffeine. Not good for the .
  5. Until I can see the ingredient list I'm not putting those things anywhere near me! What on earth do they contain?!
  6. Does anyone use the speedplay pedals for road bikes? Just wondering what they are like and if they are worth their price tag... Are there any advantages/disadvantages over a normal pedal? I haven't seen too many of them around...
  7. I also warn against Mango. Packaged the bikes nicely in boxes and paid R150 to fly them and they were in a horrible condition on the other side. Luckily no real damage to bikes but the boxes were a state! Heaven knows what they do with them! Oh and the irony was that on that flight they were advertising flying with bikes in the in-flight mag and actually ENCOURAGING passengers to do so! What a cheek!
  8. um...what bike are we looking for? I don't think the make has been mentioned yet...

    Lights

    I'm sure this topic has been covered before but can anyone suggest a good, bright rear bike light? The ones in my lbs don't seem to impressive, and with all the recent ct road deaths I would like to be as visable as possible! Thanks!
  11. I'm fairly new to road racing and have been doing some of the recent PPA races. I start very near the back but want to move up soon... I was wondering if anyone could give me a few tips on group etiquette coz I've seen some waving and butt-slapping and I'm not quite sure what it all means! Also some riders come whizzing up on the right-hand side of groups and I'm sure thats not right! Some basic tips would be appreciated!
  12. excuse my utter ignorance but was is a lefty?
  13. No silly cyclone. Dirtrider lives in Gauteng and Williams is in Somerset West. Thanks that might be a little far...
