  1. I am looking for a 50km, anyone?
  2. ...although my bad, now that I have seen the bike, I think it is intentional.
  3. You mean a Wolverine look alike? I thought comb overs were in?
  4. Goes well with his haircut from the 2014 team presentation...
  5. What a great piece of film-making from the 1962 Tour de France. Click below for the link. http://bicyclegear.c...e-le-tour-1962/

  7. For everyone who is not doing Tour de Plett, are there any MTB events happening in Cape Town this weekend 28/29 June 2014?
  8. I think it is unfair due to a lack of communication, that time was lost for Uran. Checkout his official reaction here on the OmegaPharma-Quickstep website...
  9. Looks cold! http://www.myweather2.com/Hill-and-Mountain/Italy/Passo-Stelvio.aspx
  10. Any weather reports from the Stelvio?
  11. Today is the day to watch the Giro!
  12. Sven Nys, what a demon. Did you hear Niels Albert has stop because of a heart condition?
  13. Found this gem from a few years back. Hilarious clip sung in "plat Antwerps". You will get it if you know a bit of Afrikaans. This is how we role at bicyclegear.co.za!
  14. So Urrao, Colombia is where Rigoberto Uran was born. He is the first Colombian to ever wear pink at the Giro. Being born at high altitude is the answer... http://www.panoramio.com/photo/68556779 Checkout bicyclegear.co.za, order the OmegaPharma-Quickstep kit by emailing globalexsa@mweb.co.za.

  18. If you checkout the strava "heatmaps", you can see how many people are using the trail. I don't see why it is not legal. There is no signage saying otherwise. I have been riding it for years... I believe in getting more people onto the trails to help establish riding in Hout Bay. It will make things safer and trails will get recognition and in turn could be maintained either with funding from private or public. Although at the moment it is a bit of a slog up and down due to the bad sate of the trail.
  19. I am not talking about keeping mountain bikers safe from gun-pointing, knife wielding tik addicts. I am talking about how rutted the trail has become on Karbonkelberg. A few months ago you could ride the majority of the trail up and then certainly downhill all the way. Today I went up and there are sections totally washed away, leaving gaping holes. I would love to start a "kickstarter" project to employ guys under SANParks to build a proper trail there. "Hike and Bike" up from Rocket Road with a downhill into the Hout Bay Harbour precinct. Here is a video clip I made of the ride a few months back, when it was more rideable...
  20. Coming pipe on Box Hill, only the poms!
  21.

  22. Here is a video from the United Healthcare Pro team explaining why they choose Vermarc to make their clothing. Contact globalexsa@mweb.co.za for any cycle kit requirements you may have for your company, club or team...
  23. Lets think about the bigger picture here... "Oudekraal 1.0"
  24. Hout Bay has a number of long mountain bike sections. They are however quite fragmented. Pity Orangekloof is out of bounds. They will confiscate your bike if the catch you in the reserve. Karbonkelberg is pretty sketchy. Rocket Road/Sandy Bay loop is fine with a bit of portage. Neverland is fun will add about 10-15 extra minutes to your Rocket Road/Sandy Bay loop Pipe track has just been graded so it is a lot easier than it use to be. Chappies "singletrack" running along side the road is also and option. Don't be a such a spoil sport!
