Hi guys, I hope you don't mind me chirping in. I have just booked a flight to Capetown, will be spending the first week of October in Stellenbosh/Somerset area. I have considered hiring a road/ mountain bike for the duration of my stay to experience the Western Cape in all its glory. Being from Gauteng and using a SS to commute every day - I thought this would be a fun experience. I have decided to use ww.irideafrica.com to rent a bike. This post caught my attention and I have gathered the following questions for you guys: -Is it safe to travel by bicycle in these areas? (Roads safe i.t.o traffic?) -Will I get mugged or murdered for the few worthless belongings I own? Which areas should I rather avoid? -Any recommendations on sight seeing/ roads to use? And finally,should I hire a MTB (to travel offroad) or road bike to travel longer distances and in cities? Thanks in advance for your advice. Will also post the matters in this regard on a different subject.

Hi guys, I am considering to do the Bela Bela Triathlon this year. I have done triathlons in my youth (15 years ago) and now I want to relive the thrill. Has anyone of you completed this race? Any tips? Also - since I just can't get myself off of my "new" single speed road bike.. Would this be considered a good idea to take this bike of mine to the event? I am really not interested in winning, it is more of a personal challenge. The only other bike I have is a MTB so it is either the single speed or the MTB on slicks. Any hints would be appreciated. (Already vowed to sign up for the 2014 94.7 on this specific single speed) Eish. Kind regards, G
