Have a great day hubbers!

Oh boy!!!! I want I want I want.

I'm starting to take 3D modeling quiet seriously now so it is time for a new desktop and 4K monitor.

I think I know I'm playing this weekend!

Started playing Banished properly. What a game!!! Nothing like a tornado ripping through a weeks worth of building to mess with your day! Apology to the neighbors for the "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

I have to stop riding fast with my SS (with back pedal brake), when the roads/bike lanes are wet. Every time I have to brake suddenly the back wheel slips, giving me a heart attack. It is a gentleman's bike so my weight is all on the back. Not a great potion to control a slip out. I have already hit the deck once putting me out for 2 weeks.

Is there research to prove that your helmet will be effective in a crash? If you attach a foreign object, it probably won't meet the safety standard. I am not very clued up on the topic, which is why I would not do it!

It is not a good idea! Most helmets are not designed to have lights fitted to them. Which is why some manufactures design helmets with built in lights.

I didn't say you were! I was merely pointing out the importance of upper visibility. I have a cycled in complete darkness on open roads more times than I can recall. I make sure that my rear lights is blinking bright. I use a 900 lumen front light and make sure my kit is reflective. But this is my own practice. People can never be too prudent when is comes to road safety. The only incident I have had with a moving vehicle making contact was when a drunk teef leaned out the window to smack me on the ass while shouting "SEXY".

The fact that I was the only one that voted for Akira Kurosawa is a little sad. If you are a movie buff, you will have watched at least one of his films. Here is great clip explaining his brilliance as a Film Director and Editor. If you are a Clint Eastwood fan you would be interested to know that "A Fist Full of Dollars" was based on Kurosawa's "Yojimbo"

Illuminating the ankles from behind does very little for visibility when a car approaches around a blind corner. The most visible part of your body from a drivers perspective is the top and therefor your head! If you want to be seen at night having a reflective helmet is the best thing you can add to your existing rear light. Wearing reflective kit is an added bonus. Having lights shine down from below the waist is fruitless especially in high traffic. The driver won't see you till the last second at which point your top half is most visible. On the open road having illuminated ankles will at least tell the drive that you are a cyclist. But being visible up top is vital.

In the market for a good quality but simple espresso machine without the milk frother. I currently use a Bodum plunger and a Bialetti milk frother/warmer. For Cape Town coffee lovers, head down to Rosetta roastery at the Woodstock Exchange. http://www.rosettaroastery.com/ They make a beautiful cup 'o joe and the beans are first class. They are also very passionate about coffee and do tastings for the enthusiast. If you are not able to go there, you can order beans for delivery within the Cape town Area. There is plenty bike parking if you want to cycle through and don't forget to check out Starling&Hero Bicycle Cafe.

A decent internet subscription as well as a BBC or Netflix subscription will sort you out. Steaming sports online is also possible and you can pay a once of fee for events. Netflix is also great for the whole family!

With it moving towards summer in South Africa and it getting lighter. I urge everyone to still use your lights. I have seen too many weekend warriors with no lights early Saturday mornings. Just cause it's going to get light doesn't make it safer. Lots of dronkies on the road in the early hours to.

Knog lights are the worst. there was a hubber selling them cheap cheap and I quickly learnt why.

Sho! I'm pretty jealous of whoever rides this. It looks awesome!!!

This kept me out of trouble for hours!

I always insure that my rear light is blinking bright, day and night and if that light should fail I have a back-up fully charged. Of course now I live in a country that has bike lanes as far as the eye can see, but I remain vigilant!

I remember that day. It was blowing a storm and nearly hit a pole that I saw at the last second cause it was raining so hard! I love cycling in the rain. As long as my feet, hands and face are warm I'll cycle!

Hehe not you sir!! But I'm told that the average person only commutes around 5 km's to work! There are exceptions of course!
