You only have to watch some of the earlier TdF footage and you will realize the obove to be only part of the story. The tour origins has more to do with participation of riders and spectators, having fun and af-*** all in one. Humanity is taking itself way too seriously, luckily we still have the likes of Sagan, Bolt, etc. to show us what it is all about.

Time to resurrect this topic with some research: https://nautil.us/winning-by-a-hair-341059/

R85k? Way too cheap. Will have no trail cred with such a thing. Either they up their prices or I will stay with my spec to be pro analog bike

Methinks we should allow comments on ads back. It used to provide me with hours of fun

With the semigration trend currently the resources of WC/Cpt will be severely stretch. It is also naive to expect only the affluent and/or law-abiding participating in this. For the administrators this will be a difficult storm to negotiate, I am relatively certain of two things - tariffs charges will increase above CPI and any perceive lack of immediate response, to attempts making governance difficult, will be exploited. For us normal people wanting to enjoy the spoils of the peninsula it will be a challenging time, closing rank will not work, getting involve via some community organisation will go along way to comprehend the magnitude of the challenge and built rapport with like-minded, albeit poorer neighbours.

The following link provides an analysis of a similar attack, albeit with more deadly consequences. It is an excerpt from a recently published book - Why we Kill https://www.vryeweekblad.com/menings-en-debat/2024-05-17-gee-vir-ons-boendoe-geregtigheid/

What a load of marketing gibberish. Was most appropriate to find a Defender advertisement at the end of the story.

You were born with balls, thus you took them for granted. She on the other hand...

As both a consumer and supplier of WW I am totally unimpressed with them, all marketing and nothing else.

Once coming down F/hoek pass I could hear the ABS clapping from a superbike braking for me... Also saw two guys on bikes at different times taking a tumble in front of me, one not more than 10 meters in front (after passing me) loosing control. I stopped and picked up his fenders and some scrap. He never got up... Passed at least two bikers under blankets on Hels and Franschhoek - excl the above. Luckily I live close to the F/hoek pass, as such I have ample opportunity to ride it. Plenty of times I have turned around when either cars or bikes are using it as a racing track. About a year ago a bakkie with a trailer passed me while descending, he ever so slightly clipped me with the trailer. Took a tumble at >70km/h. Hardest I have ever fallen... Stay safe

Are you planning to discipline some vagrants or just happy to see me?

They started this project at the height of the market, entering with product at the slump. Who knows where the bottom is and when the turning point is? I like the company and its products, hopefully the timing of this bold move doesn't drown them. On the up side they sticked to a sensible frame material, i.e. alu

You can keep the pillow, I am based in the WC and regularly uses the Wineland trails. PM me and I'll tag it along to some meeting or dropoff point

Low risk of me replying. Fomo is a foreign concept to me

After registering as a user some days ago, I received the following dodgy email. Anyone else having received the same?

I have an Oakley nose bridge thingy. See photo below. Maybe someone needs one, my glasses broke, hence the surplus thingy

Lots of buzz around him joining, mostly reflectinh negatively on SC's "deemed" attitude and Norco's built quality. For now GM seems to be the loved one in the story.

Franschhoek pass on a windy day will hand you a head-, tail- and side-wind from both sides in one go.

Breville easily outclasses the Kenwood. If price is the main issue, consider the Breville Bambino.

Brand new. Did not have a camera to take photo. Had a look at the website - my guess would be Rydon or Rydon Slim I deposit it with the lady at the entrance gate. She locked it in the lost and found.

The Syndicate seems to went out of their way to create a place for Steve after his retirement from racing. Would be interesting to see if this arrangement continues. If not, it is surely a sign of hardtimes and most probably why GM was let go.

You can add Philips to the list also: https://www.philipscpapcancerlawsuit.com/news/phillips-dreamstation-cpap-turns-into-a.asp
