  1. A friend of mine gave me an old hybrid bike. According to the sticker it is an Okuma. Okuma is known for their angling equipment but I have not heard of any links to cycling. There are a few other Okuma bikes listed for sale on various websites (Gumtree etc). It looks to me as if somebody imported a lot of entry level bicycles and branded them with Okuma stickers. Can anyone please shed some light on the existence of this bike / brand?
  2. Cois My sister-in-law lives in Spain. She was also diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer about Nov 2018. Her story is very similar to yours. I have a lot of sympathy for you as I know what my family is going through. Cannabis oil helps her a lot. She is getting chemo. Best wishes for you and your family.
  3. Is getting placed on Temp / Permanent Disability at work an option for you?

  15. Does your bike have Disk - or V brakes?
  16. Why are the edges of the rim so rough? Even a well used rim should not look like that.

  19. Reading this post and the the post by Scotty brought back terrible memories from my bike jacking in 2009. I want to share the photo of my face after the assault to illustrate that these guys are sometimes not just happy to take your bike and let you go. Four guys assaulted me. Hit me with a pole in the face and I fell off the bike. I initially did not resist and gave up my (brand new) bike and Camelbak. The four of them then told me: " We are going to drag you to the bushes to kill you" I resisted but I did not have the strength or skills to make any impression. They hit me with a boulder in the face, dragged me to the bushes and tied me up for 3 hours. I've experienced a warm calmness and I could feel the presence of God. I've had a total of 4 surgeries to try to repair my nose but I am still experiencing problems with it. Would I have killed if I had the opportunity? Difficult to say but I pray that I never have to go through that ordeal again.
