  1. From the article: 'The increase in attacks spurred PPA to call on municipalities to erect warning signs in hot-spot areas.' WTF?
  2. A bicycle is essential Options include: 26", 27.5", 29" or 700c Rim or disc brake Rigid, hard tail or full suspension Single speed, 3x8 all the way through to 1x13 Fixed or dropper seatpost Bottle cages or Camelbak All of the above depends on what sort of stage race it is...
  3. Hectic - hope you are in better shape than your bike A friend of ours had a car turn in front of him at Sun Valley Mall yesterday morning - judging from the damage to the car, he is eina today. Black Hill traffic lights have also seen a few crashes in past few weeks.
  4. Which models are you comparing and what's your budget ? I currently ride the Emonda SL 6 and really like it. I have not ridden any Cannondales, so cannot compare. A proper bike set-up is important to get the best that that bike intends. Comfort and performance - there is no reason you cant have both from the Evo
  5. Same comment on the 'Cyclist Assaulted' thread: It may be coincidental. One our DC team riders was knocked off his bike by a car in Plumstead a few weeks ago. They jumped out and grabbed his backpack and bike, but left it as was broken. A guy in Durbanville had a similar incident a few weeks ago. Not a very clever method as both times, the bikes weren't taken as they were too damaged.

  7. Look up the definition of Assault. This is what I found: An assault is the act of inflicting physical harm or unwanted physical contact upon a person which may result in criminal prosecution, civil liability, or both I have also been slapped on the arse by a woman leaning out of a moving car. I did not find it funny. It would have been even less funny if it were the other way around. I am glad to hear that the cyclist is pressing charges. This behaviour is not OK. It's ridiculous that people find this funny. Even more crazy to post it on social media for a few more laughs.
  8. Depends on your budget. Many people will suggest a Jura of sorts. This one @ about R15K looks like it ticks a few boxes: https://capecoffeebeans.co.za/collections/automatic-bean-to-cup-coffee-machines-accessories/products/mythos-x1-bean-to-cup-fully-automatic-coffee-machine?variant=11602107727919 Then there is something like this Breville from @ Home for R10k: But I don't think it has a built in milk frother for cappuccino. https://www.home.co.za/pdp/breville-barista-express/_/A-334002AAAA1
  9. Me too - I watched the 2nd half of season 5 as I had forgotten most of what happened. Ready for season 6
  10. Thanks for letting us tag along on Sunday's 4 Passes ride
  11. I wasn't sure what to call it, but I made this:
  12. I use a Sonoff Pow R2(15A) device with a phone app. It has a timer so switches on and off at set times and I can switch it on or off remotely.
  13. Current marketing: Aero + Disc is more importanter than weight. In reality, very few of the pro bikes are actually on the 6.8kg limit.
  14. I think that there are a few missed opportunities for more logos and a bit of random text
  15. In a similar genre, have a look at ZeroZeroZero And then the movie Sicario
  16. I missed the part about entries - Does anyone know when they open?
  17. I had a similar experience, but was able to go to Ciovita and swap it out.
  18. I know that this is posted elsewhere, but it's certainly appropriate here too
  19. I also have some Deluxe in the hopper, then will give these a spin. How/Where does one purchase ?
  20. Alejandro Valverde was his inspiration
  21. Yep, the way the white Landscruiser went through the stop street - that pedestrian deserves a medal!
  22. Have you watched the film Contagion ? It was released back in 2011 and is inspired by the 2002 SARS and 2009 Flu outbreaks. Amazingly close to how things are playing out now
  23. Congrats on the new website This request applies to many websites: Please add a button where you can choose how many items in a list you would like to display when browsing (12, 24, 36 or all) and then be able to sort them on price or name or whatever. I think that function used to be there on the previous website. The other online shop has a 'Show All' button that doesn't do that and I find it incredibly annoying.
  24. Ja, the journalist is being a tad naive...
