Loved this guy in the 80s

CWC and Takealot have mudguards , I have the long one (SKS X-Blade Rear Mudguard) for the rear wheel and a small holdfast one for the front (these can be manufactured at home from plastic bottles if your so inclined) edit: details added

Chest hair not a problem, it all migrated down from the top of my head , Like the layers idea.

So the morning commutes are starting to cool down, what do you Cape Town commuters wear to beat the chill and possible rain shower? I'm thinking about some new gloves and a waterproof backpack I've seen. https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/capestorm-dry-backpack/4182 https://www.evobikes.co.za/apparel/cycling-gloves/molon-labe-convect-padded-mtb-winter-gloves-neon-yellow.html I've already got some leg warmers and a Lumo First Accent jacket.

After seeing Arno Carstens opening for Bryan Ferry the other night it reminded me of these guys

TURN ....IT.....UP

Watched the Mark Haze Queen tribute at Hillcrest Quarry in Durbanville yesterday afternoon and it was very, very good. I was impressed with their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody which was performed live, unlike Queen who played the studio track as can be seen in this clip on the skaramousch bit (If you don't know that bit we can't be friends)

From their 1st album titled 'ZZ Top's First Album'

I've noticed that after vehicles pass you with enough room they always drift back to the side of the road again, not sure if it's because they are a) checking you out in the mirror, to see if you wave your thanks for not killing you, b) they saved you but now have to kill the invisible cyclist riding just ahead of you, ( Universal Karma and all that)

Meanwhile in the same year, on the same continent, but in a whole different genre..... https://youtu.be/3DSVMDmzCcA

I could listen to this oke play guitar all day

SRV just got reincarnated as Joanna Conner

I still use it on longer rides, but I can't find the tins anymore, only comes in satchets Sashays little packets which pushes the price up considerably

Big fan of both versions
