What day to go topless

That be the skin of a camel....hand made.... Edit..I kid you not, its natural un-dyed camel hide...ages unbelievably and this is the second wrap....recently swapped left with right to expose "new" wrap...hand cut and perforated by leather craftsman in Qatar...got the darker chocolate/purple version which has been dyed as well when this one eventually gives in...

Back to familiar territory....

Yoh....

"The logical solution would be to delineate lanes for walking, cycling etc etc. But this does not work"......but it does...

Plenty of space for all along the stretch, just takes a bit of lateral thinking....

Easy one this....slice of bread+heated element = toast.....sorry

Off Topic: Reminds me of the urban legend of the Seapoint Karen complaining about the nudity at a certain seaward spot along this stretch ....it was found later when asked to show the evidence that she needed to climb on top of a cupboard and balance precariously over the balcony to see the "action" over the wall there!🤣

You cycling in a circle, in Cape Town, in March....99% chance of the following: The wind will blow: 45% of that time will be 👉 🚴‍♂️ 45% of that time will be 🚴‍♂️👈 10% of that time will be from either 👈 or 👉 Don't care to do the stats on chances of rain.... Gonna miss it this year....😒

Looking for someone to assist with spoke tension...anyone?

Beaches for miles...

Sounds like a proper adventure!

Yip, that little push rod is gunged up...I tried using WD40 in there, and then coaxing the rod in and out and it worked a bit better but eventually seized up..Giant as well! shelved as they didn't have the correct cartridges in stock at the time...had some good life out of it though..a couple French trips and local bound bashing for a few years....

What's the problem?Sticky, slow, stuck, Usually these type of posts come alive again with a new cartridge....problem I have had is that the push rod of the cartridge gets wet down there where it screws into that bottom nut and then gets sticky in its sleeve and only actuates the drop but stays stuck so the seat doesn't rise...new cartridge, new dropper! Beware not all cartridges are the same...obviously length is one variable but some models don't have that thread at the top end....

FYI
