Good morning, We made some updates to the image uploader overnight to improve HEIC image support. Your browser may still be storing outdated data. Please try performing a Hard Refresh on the advert creation form page: Windows/Linux: Hold Ctrl and press Shift + R Mac: Hold Command (Cmd ⌘) and press Shift + R Please let me know if this does not fix the issue.

The road biking is the star. You can go South into Cape Point and Scarborough or Atlantic seaboard loops North-West via Fish Hoek/ Chappies/ Constantia Nek/ Hout Bay/ Suikerbossie/ Sea Point. The MTB is good too. Tokai/Silvermine (Permits required for each day) and Greenbelts (and access to Table Mountain) are a flat 25-30 minute tar cycle away. Or go via Clovelly up Wapad into Silvermine/Tokai for some climbing. Do keep an eye on the wind forecast if you're visiting now now, you could get a 7-day South Easter blowout which makes road cycling unpleasant while the MTB trails offer more protection. The correct answer is bring both! 😉

My guess is that there isn't really that much overlap in demand and the events don't feel the impact. Especially considering that all the clashes you mention are events happening in different provinces. That's a pretty big ask for every event in the country to not overlap for a handful of riders.

Ok, I think we solved it now. Cookies were being stored incorrectly. Logging out and back in again SHOULD actually fix it now. Please let us know if it does not.

Please try logging into Bike Hub and checking your chats with an Incognito tab/window or clearing your cookies. We're struggling to squash this bug. It'd be helpful to know whether that works or not.

Interesting idea! I'll discuss it with the team.

So you buying some socks then? Or are you just checking availability? Also, we back our service. The sheer numbers of impressions means that the homepage boost buyers are still getting exceptional value despite our advert being there for a few days too.

Please try the following steps to resolve the issue: Log out using the user menu or by clicking this link. Log back in (Link here). This should fix the problem. Let me know if you continue to have problems.

The images are likely copied from other sources online. Far easier to copy than stealing an actual bike. Scammers will often ask for payment or a deposit to "secure" the bike, claiming there are many interested buyers. Once you send the money, they disappear, and you’ll never hear from them again.

Our analysis of user behaviour reveals two distinct communities. The Classifieds community is highly active, playing a crucial role in regulating fraud and curbing bad behaviour. While their efforts may not directly boost post counts or reputation, we engage directly with their reports and queries daily. This doesn’t diminish the value of the forum community in any way. Rather, it highlights different user types contributing in different ways. For instance, we regularly push newbies to the knowledge in the Forums to answer their questions about getting into the sport, what bike to buy, new to races, etc.

Good thing we codified the lore recently: https://bikehub.co.za/news/20-years-of-bike-hub/

Yikes! Sorry about that. We're accustomed to better quality than this from our media partners and usually don't have to think about editing on a Saturday night.

Correct. We've never done original results coverage. However, should the relevant organisation have sent us a suitable press release, we'd have published it. Like we did with Tankwa Trek over the weekend. CSA used to be on the ball with press releases a few years back. Inthebunch were really good at keeping tabs on race results too.

It's quite disgusting that the women's road and all the time trial champions have been completely overlooked in this thread! 😇

Bike Hub's gravel aficionado does not identify as a gent but she is busy considering whether to do one for 2025. Stay tuned.

SHIFT + ENTER creates a new line. It's the common convention for most chat apps. But I do get that it can be confusing.

The land is private. Previously, the owners were content with a few cyclists riding there with their permission, but an influx of unauthorised cyclists led to a blanket closure of the road to all cyclists. Bike Hub removed the article about the route after the landowners informed us of this.

The season is already getting heated 🔥

Matt 😆 #7 was doing things in July, if that counts as active?

That's the Classifieds profile. Check your forum profile: https://forum.bikehub.co.za/profile/1372-frosty/

If you look at the URL on your forum profile page. The number before your username at the end. That is probably the number. https://forum.bikehub.co.za/profile/50-eddy/ So 50 in your case. 62607 before me (on this account anyway 🥷).

Thanks for the suggestion. I clicked something to make the topic "Featured". Let's see where it shows 😄

We introduced a bug over the weekend that may have logged you out of the Forums but not the rest of Bike Hub. If you're experiencing problems, please try the following: 1. Log out and back in Try logging out via the user menu on the Homepage, or this link. Then log in once again and the issue should be resolved. 2. Clear your web browser cache If the problem persists, you may need to clear out cookies and cached files for bikehub.co.za in your web browser settings.

"Of course, there are a lot of ifs. If I would stand up a little bit earlier, if I would jump on the bike a little bit earlier, if I would win in Liège, if yesterday I had attacked a little bit earlier. There are so many ifs, but you can’t buy anything from ifs. I can think very long about that, but it only makes me sad. I think the way I raced today, I can be proud of that.” ~ Demi Vollering

Just received an amazing donation of much needed parts from Flip! Including cranksets, chainrings, bottom brackets, derailleurs, loads of tyres, bar tape, shoes, and even a set of Powertap pedals. A reminder: I'm handing over this stuff on Tuesday. So if you'd like to get in on the action in time, please let me know soonest.
