Shew. Just like all my gps phones.

Ya, ya. One day when I'm not so big, I'll downgrade to a silly delivery bike that has only one gear ratio.

Nope. Just in the pocket.

Exactly why I have insurance on the expensive phone. As a side note, I am more and more shocked that so many people who get bike jacked, and relieved of their tens of thousands of rands of prescious bicycle, don't have the cash to spend less than R100 a month insuring the thing. Same with laptops, phones, tablets. I just don't get this mentality.

Around R300 you can get a Capdase mtb specific generic phone handlebar mount kit. Ask at your nearest cell phone shop. I swear by it, I have the motorbike version on the GS.

Back pocket of cycling jersey. Like a normal bloke.

Fair enough. When I mtb I do leave my Galaxy at home. I take an old 6120Navigator (ex contract phone, so no extra cost - has a payg mtn sim, that I feed airtime from my regular phone's loyalty points) with me. SportsTracks is still perfect for me. Know what's on my mtb Handlebars other than grips, shifters, stem and my hands? Nothing.

Exactly. I have a phone, and, oh, gee, imagine that, all risk comprehensive insurance on it for R50something a month. As in I can drop it at home on the tiles, have it break, and claim. Yes, they cover any damage to the phone. If I go get a dedicated GPS contraption for riding, that needs to be insured as well. Probably cost about the same per month. And I'd still need a phone. Go figure.

So you don't take a phone with you when you ride for emergency calls?

Yeah, and if you are like me, you want less gadgets to cart around on a ride, not more.

If you have to ask, I guess it answers your question. Sell the bikes and go play golf again.

Steampunk Goddess. I am in love.

He took his own life. Lets leave it at that. Keep the commentary out of this thread.

...while Van Heerden died tragically at his home in Gauteng... That's all there is.

Ah, Thanks. Guys, keep the speculation off the forum for now, please.

RIP, regardless, anyone know what happened?

Right, thread merged, and name changed.
