I suggest a new organisation: Cycling Hierarchy Of Professionals (CHOP!)

Goose1 is too full of the milk of human kindness.

In that case, I might as well call you an Arab because you are north of me. Sneaked up on any camels lately Ahmed?

Ah! The esteemed Olympic Committee that had Sam Ramsamy (sic) as the chair of the SA Chapter. There is a great selling point. The same Olympic Committee that decided not to send the men's hockey team over because they did not stand a chance in their opinion. Chops. Pork, lamb and goat.

SkietPiet, get an atlas (check your school bag there may be one there) and see if you can spot the difference between the Western Cape (the home of Table Mountain and Bergies) and Kwa Zulu Natal (the home of the Bunny Chow, Durban Poison & Goose1). Bonus prize if you answer on the Hub within 10 minutes.Gasping2009-09-08 04:56:56

This does seem like a bit of extortion ala Mafia style. If CSA does bugger-all then what they should get should be commensurate with effort/input. The entire SA sporting scene is just as bad. Governing bodies and officials of any sporting code should be there to serve the sport and not get the sport to serve them. I heard the chairman (I think it was him) on 702 yesterday morning appealing for witnesses to a tandem bike being hit by a Hyundai. Well and good. I have heard precious little from them anywhere else. Where is the campaigning for cyclist's rights to use the road as equals to cars? Where are they when cyclists do not obey the rules of the road. Please tell me what my money gets me. If it is only the privilege to ride in a race, then why am I going to enter any of these races?

BTW, what has that mountain thingy got to do with anything?

I like this. To blazes with "the long arm of the law" - bring on the right hand of the Goose!

mmmmm. Would that not make it Cappuccino Latex?

Sounds like you might get assylum in Canada if you applied. Sorry to hear - but glad that nobody got hurt.

Quality post!

Yup. How dare you leave your bike unlocked behind electric fencing with a closed gate? YOU SWINE. You are lucky that you are not charged with reckless negligence.

All of us? Are you commission based?

Please don't ask a question about one of the disciples - Johan will copy and paste the entire New Testament. Gasping2009-09-03 10:07:10

All this technical jargon makes my head spin.

Like a lot of us Splat. You are not alone.

See! Proof that we are not racist!!!!

Goose1, thanx for a brilliant laugh. As you say, today you are laughing about it, but I am sure the possible consequences must have been pointed out by "the loved one" by now. I can actually build the picture of said f....er pedalling his little affirmative ass off and going nowhere and the white wizard chasing him down. At least you were kind enough to assist him in his dismount from your steed. Well done and thanx for the laugh.

Probably a she - Conti?

More like Unicycle V2.0 - the upgrade!
