  1. I might be sitting in a foreign land but you know what, I am still proudly wearing my SA colours! What makes it so great is that I'm in a place that loves people who are proud of what they are so I am loving it! Well done SA!!! You're showing the world how brilliant you are!
  2. I suffer this fate every Saturday as I am the woman in my club! At least now I know it's inevitable. But there are still gentlemen out there and I am never left behind completely.
  3. Get that at 16 - without paying for it yourself - what do you have to aspire to in 10 or 20 years time! More money than sense in my opinion on the parents part (sorry if you're the parent)! (And those aren't junior gears fitted to it so the recipient can't race it)
  4. Here you have huge bumps (sorry very untechnical word) that demarcate the cycle lane and the car lane so the taxi's would lose half the undercarriage if they tried to drive over them. The stupid part is you often share a bicycle lane with a bus! If you have ever been at the mercy of a French bus driver you'll understand why I say it's stupid.
  5. I have been trying to not say this all day but I can't not: Mackie, get out on your bike and find a sense of humour. Yes, WW is dodging the system - do you think it doesn't happen in the most law abiding nations. This is not the first topic you've had a SERIOUS sense of humour failure on. Deal with it.
  6. Sadly for dfm1 you all have very valid points - mud in his face from the MTB'ers I think!!! Looking at his avatar he was "racing" so he could do what he wanted - nevermind clear race rules.
  7. Even though I love SA and sing its praises every opportunity I get, I am very glad I live in France now. When these idiots are encroaching on such a fantastic lifestyle it's just not fair anymore. Cycled 125km on my own the other day, flipping brilliant.
  8. Careful. There are a fair few CEO's out there who know more than you think. If he MTB's and has any interest in the sport he has probably heard of the Hub and therefore may read it one day.
  9. My thoughts really. Hopefully it's not a case of, it's in Africa so need to worry. Be very sad if it was found out that similar problems existed but no one bothered to own up to it.
  10. Sorry to re-hash an old argument that originated from VERY sad circumstances but isn't the Lexus SUV that Toyota are now pulling from the global market just a rebadged Fortuner. SA didn't take to the Lexus market too well so release the same car under Toyota. Bit scary if it is because I know it is a v popular car in SA!!! But no mention in any of the news stories that the Fortuner is being checked.
  11. They'll shift every other programme because of soccer running late but not if cycling runs late for football!!! Go figure Live in France - cycling takes over tv from now on. Except they do have a habit of having one day's racing switching between 3 channels.
  12. He's a prisoner of his circumstances right now. That has to be considered a small part of his punishment. I am not defending him as it is the most awful accident I have heard of in a while but let's not forget the word accident.
  13. Oh look I got my licence 2 weeks after completing the paperwork and it has full insurance for me, my bike and peripherals! Oh wait I live in France. It seems CSA really isn't learning from past mistakes as it was pointed out they've now had 4 years of practice but everyone is still complaining!
  14. Also accidently left my road bike tyres inflated and nothing happened. The only time you'll get caught out is if you fly through an airport without a big enough scanner for the bike and they will want to go through the bag with you there. Then they'll follow procedure and tell you to deflate them.
  15. Can some of you read a newspaper occasionally to know about THE BIGGEST PASSENGER AEROPLANE in existence before you make yourself look completely stupid with your questions. Great photos by the way. What camera do you have?
