  1. I read the reviews people had given on his history of sales and based on that I am surprised this has happened. I do not know how to dm his profile but will give it a go.
  2. I paid upfront (stupid, I know) on 20 April for 3 bottle cages, ad is still reflecting in the classifieds. He replied once that he was out of town and would contact the shop and have the items sent to me. No response to my queries after that. Over the years I have always taken a chance paying upfront when dealing with Hub members with great results.
  3. Also on the ecig for 7 months now. Not had any cravings for normal cigarettes again. It is not the ultimate, but it is cleaner.
  4. After Tuesday night, I took a look at this route and got to be honest, I chickened out. That bump at the end is bigger than my belly. Well done to you guys.
  5. Some guys who are running on pc have been asking if they can download only the gpx file from routes that have video attached. It can be done if you want to use it for training. Go to Routes in VT, do a search for your specific route. On the right hand side you will get an option to download the gpx or kml file. Choose your option. Open the Route Editor on your desktop version, import the gpx and save it. This way you do not have to download massive amounts of data every time. For the online races, you will have to download the file with video.
  6. I have never used Tacx, so honestly can not say anything about their product. Cycleops works great, plus the backup is good.
  7. The Trek boys don't worry me, you guys do.
  8. Dips. Are you running on a tablet or a pc?
  9. Mine is on the web. Dave might be able to assist,
  10. Did I win? Well done to all you guys. I really enjoyed it.
  11. I had the exact problem. Maybe the problem exists only on the desktop version. Did anyone, using the pc version manage to enter the race last night?
  12. Hi Vetseun. Hope you heal fast. As others have already said, report to SAPS, just in case she is arrogant enough to try lodge a claim against you for damages.
  13. Glad the cyclist is okay. I always ride with a cam on the handlebars, after seeing this video, on my helmet it goes.
  14. Done. Just waiting for my tracking number now
  15. Try Danie at VIP Engineering, 17 Berg Street in Hilton, Bloemfontein. He did work on my car a few weeks back. He mentioned at the time that he had done work on bikes.They do aluminium welding. Nothing to lose. 0825632257 0514306121
  16. It is against the law. Period. Do you drive the same way when in your car? If not, why not?
  17. That is a very nice pic. Congrats and well done to the winner.
  18. Great report. I always say it is a tour, not a race. (My excuse for bad times.)

    Sitting in Durban after a neck op watching the race. Hats off to all you guys and girls doing it. Jeez, I miss the vibe of that race.
  20. Good common sense.
  21. Still using an electronic cigarette. Now 40 days off normal cigarettes.
  22. Have smoked for 43 years. Have tried to stop a few times over the years but never lasted more than 1 or 2 days. This time I am using the electric cigarette and am now on day 5.
  23. I noticed this about 3 years ago when I started making frequent trips between Bloem and Johannesburg. I moved to Bloem about 10 months back and from what I have seen it seems to be the norm here. I also travel to Kzn a lot and have noticed cyclists in the emergency lane on the motorway there as well, not as many as here in Bloem though. As I said, I stay in Bloem now and from what I have seen, it is bloody dangerous to ride in the suburbs here. These motorists scare the crap out of me.
  24. Yesterday, around 10am, I was travelling from Johannesburg to Bloemfontein on the R59. A cyclist in a white shirt with splashes of red on it skipped the stop street at full tilt across my path, crossing 4 lanes of traffic. He crossed the R59 into the Sasolburg area. Yesterday, I stuck to the speed limits and this guy is still alive. If I had been going 10 kms an hour or so faster............ Cyclists like this make my blood boil as they are the guys who pee off the motorists and give us all a bad name. Rant over, but blood still boiling.
