  1. dude - i have my eye on that - they look sick and they have siek functions. It is not a cycling specific watch but i also want the one with the GPS addon- how much dosh with it cost with GPS?
  2. I would be scared to cycle for that long on the west coast road, i pose this question without being a knob , dont you think it is a little dangerous????
  3. stupid, and good on his wife for laying charges. my chick would duck (-d +f) me up.
  4. Well that is good to hear, seems like Cape Town is forgotton. maybe we just have more skelems
  5. If someone donates me a tandem and 100 brooms i will rig the brooms up like one of those graders and cycle around the country.....anytakers?
  6. Street Faeries lucky you.....
  7. true about people needing to clean up after themselves - but they dont that is the naked truth. I want the street sweeper trucks back. it is not fun having to meander into the lane dodging glass only to have some mullet ZOOOM past in his XR3 with odd mags and a wooden spoiler. I liked those trucks.
  8. Hey guys. for the past couple of months i have been getting more and more p1ssed off. what is the deal with all the glass on our roads. there used to be those cool little trucks that sprayed water on the road and had these hard circular brush megafters. i am now consistently getting punctures (at least i have mitigated that by making my tires bulletproof + heavy ) i want to know if youall have the same deal - and for some reason on my route the main culprit seems to be broken windhoek lager bottles. But it saddens my heart and it is starting to really p!ss me off.
  9. Aimee Behave...... Ja guys - it is tough being over that 100 mark, Help.Me that is cool - i am hoping to get to 98 - that will make me happy. Mmmmm whats that in my pocket R7.30 cool just enough for a Tempo......
  10. i just want to know, not that it is related to the max HR i just want to see if there are other big boys out there Actually more wide boys as i am only 187cm Gravity2009-09-25 03:04:22
  11. Please add your weight when putting in your max/ave hr i am 31yrs 113kg - max 184 - resting 60 i find that my heart goes up very very easily - like it is impossible (almost) for me to do a easy ride 60%-75% as everything cycling wize for me starts at 80% my peak sustainable for a hill is 88% and if i push i can do 95% anything above and i cannot breathe properly. Something that i hope is an indication of fitness is that my HR drops quickly after efforts
  12. Pics? - you cannot tease us man.
  13. dude.......OFFSIDE
  14. Hi there Speed Devil I dont take any supplements for recovery, but i do eat quite "healthily" (read i dissolve anything in sight) My muscle recovery is REALLY slow and extremely painful - when i am tired also generally after 2-3 days of commuting (45min-24kmph ave) it literally feels like the muscles are being pulled from the bone sometimes. I have tried simply uping my protein intake - but that doesnt quite seem to help, another thing that makes this more tough is that i am allergic to milk. It also takes me much longer for my muscles to warm up than my cycling mates. I have noticed that it makes a HUGE improvement if i Stretch WELL before and after, but h3ll my legs still hurt. I think that there is something very wrong with my nutrition regimen and i really need to go see a dietician or someone qualified (procrastination is a b1tch)
  15. i bought a pump from Trade Center - i saw one with a rad multi-purpose head. Attachments for both valves, for soccerballs and lilo's/Blowup Dolls. Cost me R185 or maybe less i cannot remember - i thought i scored the deal of the century. - Pumped up a soccerball in the store as a test. Stoked. Went home and it is the crappest pump with the coolest head ever. Its a raleigh - or a no-name brand with a raleigh sticker on it.
  16. MMMM - thanks crasher. i looked at fork last night - it is funny how you fantasize about how the lockout housing will look you really make yourself think that you remember seeing a little space for a cable . You Put all those good vibes out into the universe....Hoping....believing..... then you get home and realise that aussie documentry/motivational thing "The Secret" was just an absolute crock of ****.
  17. Shot Rude - i will be looking for a special housing tonight. And if i do not find one i will sigh in disappointment - coz poplocs are porno.
  18. Hi there Can you fit a poplock to a Dart2 (the model with lockout)? And guys please reply - each time i add my 2 cents worth to a thread i get all excited and when i look back the thread has died and my last comment lies dormant for weeks.......I am getting a complex.... Is there such a thing as Cyber B.O or Htmlitosis????
  19. I like FF - but ipod control is a mission, til i bought earphones with an integrated volume dial - much easier.
  20. i am a newly converted blood donor - and i actually think that in a Karmic sense it is the right thing to do, so well done to all those here that are, and being obsessively opposed to it in the past i also understand that it is not for everyone - i really dont think that it is worth qwibbling about. My iron consistently is 15.5 and it freaks me out because it apparently is quite high ( any thoughts on that and what are your readings) As for cycling - if i donate on a cycle commute day - it is a hellish 20km back home - and i feel "pap" doing exersize for about a week after. I am sure that whatever strain your body takes is good for you in the long run.
  21. 187cm and 110kg I would say that i have lots of "slow twitch muscle fibres coated in candy". still trying to lose weight - i was 124kg's at my biggest 2,5 years ago when i started cycling.
  22. hahaha - do i get to drag a chick back with me? Smile mr Bornman its friday.
  23. I think that he was paid 5 yuan per hour to ride up and down on this stupid looking bike as a very strange marketing stunt for the Beijing Olympics. Some people just do some weird things!!! - i dont think it has anything to do with a wanking triangle or whatever. That back wheel is a red herring.
  24. HAHAHAHA - JEA....... Must have been k@k to swallow
