Hi all, This is a topic that will go on for ever. The bottom line is that entertainment is expensive and if that is what you want you must pay or do as more and more of us do, arrange your own rides in the week ends. Running is also expensive, not only cycling because although there are no trails to build, they have to arrange watering points every +/- 3 km for water and coke/energade etc for all the runners. Regards Sarge

Hey Gents, I think Bakkies is a great rugby player but needs his ass kicked for letting the team down which is what he did by being sent off by being dirty, (or for getting caught). Regards Sarge

Hi, Must be honest, there is nothing better in life (well almost!) than getting out on the road for an hour after work in the evenings. Regards Sarge

Hi, Well done gents, nothing like a smile in the morning - cycling related. Regards Sarge

Hi Gents, This is just not right, and so early in the morning - with pictures. Regards Sarge

Hi, I think it must take a lot of OLD BROWN SHERRY to do that, or to warm up after, Regards Sarge

Hi Scott, Remember to check for cracks/damage where the cycle has been incorrectly fastened to a carrier. Possibly not the usual place to check. Regards Sarge

Hi All, I agree with Scotty, the real problem is the owner who allowes his "pet" free access to the street. They should be fined R5000 every time their dog is found outside of their property. Anybody who cannot look after his dog does not deserve one. Regards Sarge

Hi, And the debate rages on. Just wear what is comfortable but make sure that they are optically correct. Regards Sarge

Morning gents, There will be good events and bad events. The bad ones will not be supported for too long and will fall by the way side leaving the races where the hosts have done their homework. Regards Sarge

Hi Gents, Yes you are all correct. We take good commentry for granted, or with Phil we are just plain spoilt. Regards Sarge

Hi, Unlike on the road, take time out to enjoy the view and enjoy the people on you will meet in the dirt. Regards Sarge

Hi all, I feel for you gents that seemily just have to put up with all this $#!+ in the city. Us "plaasies" appear to have things a lot easier in the smaller towns. Regards Sarge

Hi Merida, It makes me mad as well. Looks as if you just bend over and get screwed whether you like it or not. 72 big ones is a lot of money. Regards Sarge

Hi, Rough decisions like this should not exist. Lighten your load and give it to a good friend and let him worry. Regards Sarge

Hi Gents, I was just about to log off, but might just stick aroung for a short while. This could be interesting. Regards Sarge

Hi, Cycling is the only sport where participants are killed or maimed on a daily basis and nothing is done about it. Is it just the nature of the sport or the attitude of the people that we share our space with? What can we do to improve things for ourselves, apart from going off road. If it was soccer, rugby or any other sport there would be a national inquiry to look into the problem. I do not think the people in power realy care!! Regards Sarge

Hi all, Pehaps we have to get together and litter, break, burn and cause total destruction of anything that does not belong to us in order to get the message across that we are not happy with the situation. If you cant fight them, join them. So sad Sarge

Hi, More bad news on our roads. Realy sad. RIP. Regards Sarge

Hi Vaste, Please be very carefull how you transport your bike. Saw one yesterday that had been transported from KwaZulu Natal down to the Cape. It is a carbon Raleigh and the frame has been badly damaged. If it was me and I could afford it I would buy a hard case to transport my bike. Good luck Sarge

Hi gents, Being a consumer is an invitation to get ripped off. It makes me mad. Regards Sarge

Hi all, I have just read through 10 pages of "for and against" LA. Well done to all of you, and I love the passion that you have for the topic. Regards Sarge

Hi, We must take all the precautions that we can to avoid an accident, but regardless how carefull we can be in some sports things go wrong. Let's just hope that the dude is ok and can go back to enjoying what he was doing, Regards Sarge

Hi Gents, The cheaper option is the specified item on general household policy. I pay +/- R80.00 for 30k on a road bike. I have been assured that this is for any loss or damage at any time ( same as comp car insurance). Regards Sarge

Hi All, The advantage of being in a "dorp" is that I can get up at 04:30, have coffee, ride +/- 35k and then still walk to work and be there by 07:30. I also do not have to worry about traffic. Only had 1 vehicle pass this morning on the training route. Have a great day Sarge
