  1. .....meanwhile the helpful hubbers are furiously trawling the web to find a stycle
  2. I read recently that the more cyclists we get out there the better for everyone in general. At the moment a motorist is conditioned to see cars, trucks & busses in his vision and a cyclist doesn't fit into that known pattern. I don't know how many of you have seen the utoob clip which shows a bunch of basketball players passing balls to each other and asks you to count how many times it is thrown? after the clip you are asked if you saw the moonwalking gorilla and you didn't. The moonwalking gorilla is the cyclist on our roads, he's there but they just don't see us.
  3. You guys are not working hard enough
  4. GoPro Hero4 Silver, just got back from States and picked it up for R4800 ($400 before sales tax)
  5. Maybe off topic slightly but I've recently attached a mace spray to the frame using velcro (Builders Warehouse) and it hasn't fallen off yet (I do put it in my back pocket on the more technical stuff but I reckon it will stay put).
  6. I'm already sitting in the naughty chair on this one....just realised i coated my frame with Mr Min for WOOD! Did i do Good?
  7. If your buying a new bike the bike shop often offer you a discount on any goods bought on the day.
  8. You have your wifes full support for this build
  9. Aim was not to name & shame on a public forum, I was frustrated at the time and tried to post on their fb page but it was closed to members only. I was hoping that talking about it on the hub would encourage awareness to the problem - thanks for all the comments.
  10. First gripe of 2014 - group of 8-10 riders just breeze thru a stop street in Melkbos this morning, after I had stopped. Quite a few club shirts in evidence. We as cyclists moan about the 1.5m rule etc but club riders blatantly ignore basic rules of the road? If the clubs can't set the standard then what sort of credibility does it give cyclists in general?
