I don't have any further details unfortunately. I saw it on one of the community forums and thought someone must know who the guy is. I hope the original OP has maybe given SAPS enough to go on and chase the CCTV footage if they can (but I won't hold my breath). It looks like it happened yesterday morning but I'm betting the guys a local, so hopefully they get him sooner rather than later.

It is actually scary that there are people out there with this attitude. I wonder what the scumbag would have done if it was a guy who had said something to him. Would he have been so brave then.

This was on one of the community forums in the Blouberg area, it's very vague on exact details but you may just have some ideas, some of the local guys may have come across him before? My wife went for a cycle this morning and was attacked and assaulted by a maniac close to Bloubergstrand. She was cycling with a friend and a white male approx. 40 years old skipped a stop street and nearly hit her while talking on his cellphone in his silver double cab 4x4, possibly a Ford. No number plates. So she shouted at him to watch it and get of his phone like any biker or cyclist would do when nearly killed by an idiot talking on is cellphone skipping a stop street. he slammed on brakes, got out of his bakkie and punched her off her bike, then spit in her face, grabbed her arm, twisted it behind her back, and tried to throw her in front of oncoming traffic on Marine drive. Luckily all cars stopped and people tried to intervene but everybody was too scared to approach this guy as he was screaming he would kill all cyclists and everybody else. We laid a charge of assault with SAPS, and according to the station commander, we can probably also get attempted murder because of trying to throw her if front of cars whilst screaming he is going to kill her. The problem is we don't have a name, or registration number (no number plates) or anything to assist the police in finding this guy. I have been cruising this whole area non stop since 11:00 until now 20:00 trying to find this guy, but he is probably hiding in his house beating up his wife and molesting his his children or something, like the coward he is. I will spend ever cent and every second of time I have to find this coward and get justice done. If anybody in the Blouberg/West Beach/Tableview area know of a middle aged white male, overweight, with a newish silver double cab 4x4 without number plates, please let me know. If the identified person is the person that attacked and assaulted my wife. I will pay a R50 000 reward no questions asked The original post can be found here: http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?topic=134255.0

Some guy in a submarine

Why not start a couple of name and shame FB pages. We could call the Afrikaans one " Hey Koos, you drive like a D**s " And the English one " Hey Rick, you drive like a Pr*** " Would that work?

Just heard this morning that a cyclist was attacked on the new stretch of the Sandown Link Rd in Blouberg yesterday. Although it isn't officially open yet, he had apparently cycled along it when he was attacked by two men, one armed with a large rock and the other with a knife. They took his bike and everything else he had with him. I think it's better to avoid being alone on that stretch until it opens properly to traffic.

The new Pinarello with disc brakes

Nice bike, I'm going to keep an eye out for you on the R27

We would just like to find out if any of the hubbers have noticed an increase in the amount of E-commerce sites where you now have to use 3D Secure Payments, ie, your card needs to be enrolled with your bank in order to receive One Time Pins to proceed with the transaction. Nedbank have just informed us that ALL of their E-commerce sites have had to be enrolled with no choice in the matter. Has it caused anyone any problems trying to buy online ?

With new bike prices indicated (or generally accepted) to be rising by between 15% to 20% for 2014, I'm not sure if 2nd hand prices will drop. When a seller sees that a bike that was costing R20 000 to buy is now R24 000 will they keep their 2nd hand model at whatever selling percentage of the original price or be tempted to ask for more because the new one costs a lot more? Interesting times ahead I think.

I hope you said "one that's going past yours "

A more accurate way than the 220 - your age method is: I'll do mine as an example: 210 minus half your age (round it up if you're on an uneven age number), 210-(43) 22 = 188 Then subtract 5% of your body weight in pounds ( 72kgs x 2.2) = 158lbs @5% = (7.92) 8 So 188 minus 8 = 180 Then either add 4 for a male Or add 0 for female. So mine ends up on 184. I have found this to be very accurate even when I've done VO2 max tests in the lab. Hope it helps.

You walk into your garage to get something, and walk out an hour later having spent the time checking/adjusting/cleaning/looking at your bike having forgotten what you wanted in there in the first place

Imagine saying 'sorry love, but it's LSD in Zone 1 today' hahaha

I think you're going to fill 500 by yourself, haha good work

Nice one Daideron, I reckon we could probably get this list to at least 500 with a minimum of effort. I'm sure a few of the guys have some others up their sleeves.

Came across this list on the internet and it made me laugh, don't know if it's been posted before but anyway. You know you're a cyclist when: you’ve given your bike a nickname. you know that pain is just fear leaving your body, before it returns through your hamstrings. you’ve heard the words “Just a friendly ride, no one gets dropped” while rapidly falling back in the pack. you can tell your wife with a straight face that it’s too hot to mow the lawn, then bike off for a century. You know you’re a cyclist when you dream of winning the lottery and which bikes you’ll be able to buy? you buy a car based on whether or not a bike will fit in the trunk/back, with the rear seat folded down. you hate headwinds, hills and trucks parked on the shoulder of any descent. you forget all the pain, headwinds, humidity and hills within days of a long ride, and start dreaming about the next. you’ve washed off that chain ring grease “tattoo” on your calf so often that you went ahead and got a real one there. You know you’re a cyclist when, like war vets carrying shrapnel under their skin, your souvenirs are pebbles and gravel housed around your elbows and knees. when camping, your bike stays with you in your tent. you wear a heart rate monitor during sex. you’ve considered what can still be accomplished in life while a broken collarbone heals. you’ve misplaced an hour of your life cursing, sweating and twisting a wrench, unaware that one of the pedals threads the opposite way. You know you’re a cyclist when your loved ones have assigned a separate hamper for your dirty bike clothes, and placed a hazmat label on it. your hands have a strange tan that looks remarkably similar to the pattern on your cycling gloves. weather forecasts can be broken down into 2 categories: good biking weather, bad biking weather. you find out you are going to have a child and the first thing you think about is how you will schedule your rides to avoid divorce and still be a parent. you spend twice the money on cycling kits then you do work clothes. You know you’re a cyclist when you’ve been involved in deal making with a higher power to get through a climb you know will last longer than a political campaign. you can ID five brands and sixteen flavors of protein bars in a blind taste test, but on most long rides you would eat wet shoe leather, properly salted and containing a balance of electrolytes, of course. approaching a rider from behind, you’ve thought, “I will attack until your lungs cease to function properly, you collapse in the gutter and call out for your grandma’s quilted afghan.” Then offered a respectful nod as you blurred by.you check out everyone else’s legs to see if they are better than yours. you can’t seem to get to work before 8:30am, but you don’t have a problem meeting your buddies at 5:30 am for a ride. there is nothing odd about having bikes in your living room. You know you’re a cyclist when you stare at other cyclists to check out their ride. you know the difference between a Presta and a Schrader valve. you know every traffic light sequence in the tri-county area for stop free pedaling. you wear more tights than a children’s theater group performing Peter Pan. you are an expert at spotting thunderstorms, tornados, windstorms, marauding cattle and ice cream stands from a distance. You know you’re a cyclist when you have been caught in a thunderstorm while still in the saddle blinking away water and grinning all the way home.you live in fear that someone will sponsor a twelve-step program for cycling addicts and you’ll be the first one wrestled to the ground. you learned a long time ago that it doesn’t matter how light or fast, just get on that bike. you have more water bottles than you have drinking glasses. you have more cycling jerseys than work shirts. your legs are smoother than your wife’s. You know you’re a cyclist when the nicest pair of shoes you own have cleats in the soles. you have defined the 8 stages of road kill decomposition through daily observation. you get withdrawal symptoms if off the bike for more than a day. when anybody mentions distance you immediately think of how long it would take to cycle it. you point at pot holes, but you are driving in your car alone. You know you’re a cyclist when your bike is worth more than your car. you have tested your hypothermic limits and found that they can be expanded with pedal speed, layering and hot cocoa. you own more tights than a children’s theater performing Peter Pan. your wallet is clear, made of plastic and sports the designer label Ziplok. you have more up-to-date knowledge of bike specs, gear and equipment than the staff at your local shop. You know you’re a cyclist when you think about each hill as a cyclist, even when you are driving in a car. you know how many miles you rode last night, last week, last year. you have a Biker’s Tan. (bottom 2 /3 of your legs, lower 1/2 your arms, and two little circles on the tops of your hands) you get sad when your Biker’s Tan fades. AND , you're reading this on thehubsa

Have a look at our site: http://www.sportsworld.co.za/ We have another 150 pairs os shorts /bib shorts just arrived in SA so if you don't see you size we probably have them in the new order, Everything you see on the site is available. Cheers Stephen

Hi, You also have to check the type of ANC agreement. You can have ANC non-accrual, so you will always have a seperation of assets and liabilities; or you can have ANC with-accrual, in that, what you brought into the agreement (marriage) is your own, but anything earned by both parties afterwards is 'joint'. As far as I remember, (I stand to be corrected but I think I'm right) to change your marriage status you're going to have to officially get divorced and then remarried, otherwise it's a civil contract which can be both good or bad depending on who draws up the agreement.

This was from April 2013, it might have changed a bit but I'm betting not by much. It'll give you some idea as a self-employed person of what you might expect to borrow from the different banks. Bank_Loan_to_Values_20130219_Betterbond.pdf

I spoke to a couple of guys on Friday. They confirmed that they expect new bikes in 2014 to rise by between 15% - 20% in price and they are already finding that a lot parts are already up by 10% - 20%.

I agree with using Tabata's. If you're doing it right, 4 mins will have you on your knees. You can also get dvd's or download the likes of sufferfest movies for your laptop etc, which will do almost the same as a spinning class. HIT is very good for giving your training that extra boost.

That is a picture of pure beauty

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned on this thread already, but if you are on Strava it's interesting to follow Laurens ten Dam just to see the stat's (he's one of the few that post onto Strava). They are quite amazing.
