  1. Cycling accident in Centurion. Down hill from the corner of John Voster and Olievenhoutbosch streets. Not sure of details as I just drove passed. Pray the cyclist is okay and heals up quickly
  2. So there was another bike jacking this weekend (Sunday morning at about 9am). This time at Fountains Circle on the road. Be careful out there all
  3. So there were 4 reported incidents in the Pretoria area. 2 were on Saturday in the Pretoria East and Bronkhorstspruit areas. 2 were in the area surrounding LZ Township and Red Barn. These involved groups of 8 to 12 riders. The crews were armed and dangerous. Stay away from the following roads: - R21 (St George's Hotel area) M18 to and from Red Barn (Red Barn itself is incident free and they have upped their security) M57 between R21 and M18 Moonlight Road (Link between R21 and M17) SAPS is onto the case together with security.
  4. All 3 incidents are similar in nature. 2 were at the area mentioned above. Last cyclists (dropping off the pace a bit) gets isolated. Walkers suddenly pull out a firearm or knife and hold up the cyclist. They then lure the other cyclists to come back and hold them up as well. They take bicycles, cell phones, wallets, watches, etc. Normally at least one cyclist is injured. Another incident, similar to above was near St Georges Hotel in Irene
  5. It is by the shooting range near Red Barn on Glen Road
  6. This was only 1 of 3 incidents in that area on Saturday. Please do not ride this road or offroad section.
  7. Be careful of the flu going around. It is bad. My daughter had it and the doc said that it leaves everyone with a post viral cough which they are battling to get rid of. What worked for my daughter: - ACC600 3 days of antibiotics (the one you take once a day) The equivalent of Celestamine (2 at night) Corenza C paracetamol
  8. Someone openly admitted on TV yesterday when interviewed that he had chucked down a banned substance to get to the finish because his knee was sore.
  9. Yip. Do not wish to buy a bike as old as my one is now
  10. Thank you. Much appreciated. Will ride my old bike for now and wait it out.
  11. I asked the seller condition and he says great condition, no accidents. Funny but he cannot tell me the age of the bike!
  12. Here is the problem I have: - I have a dinosaur of a road bike (Giant). Her wheels are starting to show serious age (i.e. cracking rims). I either have to: - 1. Rebuild the wheels; or 2. Buy a new bike I have been selected to represent RSA is the World Championships age group sprint triathlon in Hamburg in July. What would you do and if a new bike I have already paid out a huge amount towards accommodation and flights, etc. so cannot afford a really expensive new bike so please keep that in mind when pointing me in the direction of possible new bikes.
  13. Okay, lady here not a gent, but can I suggest you try the C25K programme. Once finished you can then ramp up to the 10k programme.
  14. Okay, so I am totally new to this power meter thing. I have: - 1. Road bike (I use this mainly on the indoor trainer) 2. Mountain bike (mainly used for on road but sometimes off road) 3. Tribike (used for doing triathlons and sometimes in The Cradle, currently using it on road as I have a stress fracture so need minimum force, Voortrekker Monument uphill training, etc.) 4. Polar Pacer Pro A lot of my tri training is power based so wondering if it is worth getting a power meter . If so, what do you suggest please and what will I require as additionals?
