Hello people. Are there any rides planned for tomorrow Sunday 15th on the greater Jhb area ?

Exactly - that is my gripe about critical mass rides here. Its a fashion show !

The Dutch government, and Dutch people in general are innovative forward thinkers. no chance of that here

If he acts like that, and has a biiiig car, then he suffers from small dick syndrom

Gotta love the hub !!!!!!!! If i'm in the veld, and a driver rides within cm's of me, i'm going to %$#&*@ him up. This person is more of an idiot, because its in the cradle, and drivers know, that there are many cyclists around. Good luck Boris.

Beam me up Scotty ... Everyone on earth are so behind on these human powered personal transporters

By definition on the traffic laws, unless a human pedal powered cycle is mentioned for specific reasons, a bicycle occupying a road is a vehicle.

I heard through 5 intermediaries that don't know what they are talking about, that its been cancelled due to lack of interest. In case we haven't noticed, its holiday time in December. All the Vaalies are down at the coast

Skylark , please read the rules of the road carefully concerning overtaking - otherwise try MTB where you can do what you like in the bush. " Passing of vehicle 1) The driver of a vehicle intending to pass any other vehicle proceeding in the same direction on a public road shall pass to the right thereof at a safe distance and shall not again drive on the left side of the roadway until safely clear of the vehicle so passed: Provided that, in the circumstances as aforesaid, passing on the left of such vehicle shall be permissible if the person driving the passing vehicle can do so with safety to himself or herself and other traffic or property which is or may be on such road and – (a) the vehicle being passed is turning to its right or the driver thereof has signalled his or her intention of turning to his or her right; (b) such road is a public road in an urban area and – (i) is restricted to vehicles moving in one direction; and (ii) the roadway is of sufficient width for two or more lines of moving vehicles; © such road is a public road in an urban area and the roadway is of sufficient width for two or more lines of moving vehicles moving in each direction; (d) the roadway of such road is restricted to vehicles moving in one direction and is divided into traffic lanes by appropriate road traffic signs; or (e) he or she is driving in compliance with the directions of a traffic officer or is driving in traffic which is under the general direction of such officer, and in accordance with such direction: Provided further that in no event shall any passing referred to in paragraph (a), (b), © or (d) be done by driving on the shoulders of the roadway or on the verge of the public road concerned. - See more at: http://www.arriveali...ational#part1_3 "

Congrats for the daughters achievements, you see, there is always a silver lining. As for you buddy, lay low for a while, and get yourself blessed.

Its all hidden in the formulas that they calculate it with

Neither, its the legs, china

Hello Onetime. Brakes and fancy suspension, is something I would always bring to a reputable bike shop. There are too many "experts" out there today. The fact that they replaced hoses and a new service kit (usually orings etc), and you are complaining about spongy braking, or no braking altogether, would make me guess about wrong hydraulic fluid or improperly bled system. Run these ideas past the "bike shop" if they haven't sorted it out yet.

Hi JohnnyReggae. Great attitude, I hope you did not feel upset by my post. Unfortunately, we are the "softer" party always. A good accessory would be to invent eyes in the back of our heads as well. We have to contend with all sorts of road hazards, potholes, taxis, motorists, and ........ sunday drivers. Unfortunately, this happened in your case. You have bruises, but have learnt something.

Firstly JohnnyReggae , I'm glad you're OK. I'm going to go against the flow here, also being a cyclist, but you are in the wrong! Thank your lucky stars that you just probably got a "dumb blonde" that day, who is clueless to traffic laws, and was just very friendly and a good Samaritan. You are overtaking down the left hand side of a vehicle, - illegal, and overtaking close to a pedestrian crossing, - also illegal The lady could have expected you to pay any scratch dent etc, on her car door. Stay safe

Try Stephen. He is here on the Hub stephen@sportsworld.co.za http://www.sportsworld.co.za

Why are you complaining ? Its a single speed chain, which is the latest fashion at the moment. Single speed components are like Prada or Armani.

Special skills as an engineer ....... F@#K you, you P^%*K Go back to jail, do not pass begin, above all, never be allowed to drive again

SARS employee reading this - please take note ... 1. support local products. 2. if you prefer to import overseas products , you deserve to pay duties

Firstly, everything of the best for your recovery. to answer some questions ... "what is a reasonable warning before road maintenance barriers " Usually, there are speed limits signs preceeding this, to invite you to slow down. Barring this, road rules/regulations state something like, your speed must be proportioned to your ability to stop safely, should the need arise. "a lot of incidents with above barriers happen when cyclists look down " You said it, no-one else. This is the root of most cycling accidents. Sorry buddy, but my opinion is that its a "normal" road accident. Descriptions like ... "barreling down the first bend" , "came flying down suikerbossie " should be kept on a race track, not a public road. And then, only noticed this after reading your description again... MTB bikes or tyres are not designed for high speed braking manoeuvres on tarmac. When you recover properly, buy yourself another bike, and join us roadies

( from above ) ..... Give my practice a call on ...... You wanna practise on me ? practise on yourself, then when you get it right ... call me

mmmm, i'm going to try this while standing in front of their Bianchi expo

No definitely not. There is too much hard work involved in cycling, which the average businessman is not used to. Always puffing and panting, and out of breath. Also not much discussions to be had in the group, for security reasons. No clubhouse involved, with nice cold drinks etc etc etc

I stayed at the Chestnut Country Lodge, just outside Hazyview (approx.15km) I remember the rates were quite reasonable, and its a lovely place.
