Dude, have you even seen the new XX groupo... oh wait, I see what you mean...

Hey, we care. We CARE! It's very important to our look that we don't have a look.

TZmtb, I love your work. I wonder if our Lefty mate teaches literacy. I hope not. If his spelling is anything to go by, a little knowledge is a very dangerous thing. Keep doing what you are doing. It sounds like you are trying to make a difference in the lives that you touch. The thing that irritates me so much about this is that in his original post on the other thread, he actually had some good ideas (apart from the licensing issue). Some of us cyclists have no regard for traffic laws. I do not think that anyone will dispute that. Then the tirade/tantrum starts up and the bile that got spewed out really made the arguments put forward null and void. Now we have to start on about who does what for their community to uplift them. Then the discussion goes to who wants to declare war and let's have a beer to discuss this. I choose whom I drink beer with. If I am ever in your neck of the woods TZmtb, I would love to have a beer with you. As for the other chap with his Lefty-ness, I would rather spend an extra day at work than spend 5 minutes in his company. Shot Gasping, if ever you are up Tzaneen way send us a pm and we can hook up for that beer. Even better, bring your bike and I will set us up on a ride. Magoebaskloof is MTB paradise!

Well done on actually doing something to help people Ray! People do tend to forget that a bicycle is transport (and not cheap to the owners) for a lot of people. For the vast majority of cyclists, cycling is not a hobby or sport. It is a tool to help eke out a meager living with their limited resources. GoLefty, I think your cards have been called. Stop the clever word plays, and tell us what YOU have done. Thanks Agteros. Just to set the record straight: I help the people here because I want to and because I like my staff. I also help the people here because happy people are less likely to kill/steal from me. And because I get better prices from the English supermarkets if I do. I am not Mother Therese. But I do what I can even if it's not enough.

Fank youu for ponting thet oot.

For those of you proposing that cyclists get licenses, pass exams and riding tests and pay the government money in order to be able to ride a bike I have a few questions: Are you so arrogant that in your elitist, little world you assume that you are the ALPHA and the OMEGA of cycling? Being a farmer I live in a rural community and work with illiterate and semi literate folk who have no, absolutely NO, chance of passing a written learners test and have neither the time, the logistics, nor the money to take a practical test. Would your self righteous, quick fix approach not deprive them of their only means of transport and possibly even their income? Would you initiate yet another grossly mismanaged and corrupt government institution to reap in kick backs from driving schools and force our youth to resort to bribery in order to avoid long, multi day queues in front of dingy offices? Do you think that our current motor vehicle testing and licensing system has drastically reduced the number of road fatalities? Has it made our roads safer for motorists, pedestrians or cyclists? Many of the cyclists killed on our roads are killed while obeying the laws of the road by LICENSED motorists. On a more selfish note: I already have a drivers license so I know what a STOP sign means. If your actions do indeed force me into a beurocratic nightmare and possibly off my bicycle for good. Then a POX on you! TZmtb2009-12-10 01:04:34

or... sometimes they are just anti it because they want to justify their own decisions. or... it makes them feel superior because they chose something else and how could anybody else choose THAT (kind of how I feel about Land Rover owners. I mean they break, all the time. Don't they? Well, I am sure they do. They must. Everyone says so...) I have been using my Fortuner for nearly four years and it has never broken. Never got stuck. Never tried to kill me or my two young children or my beloved wife. Thats all I know. Thats all I have to go on. If it was a piece of **** I would say "it is a piece of ****" and sell it. Brand loyalty means nothing to me. I owe Toyota nothing. They took my money and I took their car. That's it

Oh, by the way, seeing as this is a thread for soft boys, how about you send me your number noob. We could have some coffee or something sometime. You know. Just the two of us. Nudge nudge, wink wink. We can even ride road bikes if you like...

expect if you can sell it to someone stupid Stupid people deserve what they get. They may give you what it's actually worth. Oh crap, any fools reading this thread will be forewarned. For the record: mtbNOOb is NOT, I repeat NOT trying to take you for a ride!!!!

The only threat to MTB'ers when it comes to Land Rovers is riding into the back of a broken down one

eek' date=' now we're hijacking the thread?yeah, it is a sad song and a get a lump at the bit where he kisses her? hijack off? although the zula's a racer, i found it to be a very playful bike, especially when powering out of the saddle. don't know if the suspension was set right for me, but it seemed "skittish"?but in a good way [/quote'] No worries Holy.

You are being rude. This is not a thread about 29" bikes and you have no manners. You can't spell, have no concept of grammar and hide behind the anonymity of your keyboard. Why should we take your opinions on bicycles seriously when you display such ineptitude elsewhere? Should you see me at the race you probably will pass me whatever you are riding because I am no racing snake. All I can suggest is that you keep on going. Ray

No, its still available. One guy is coming to have a look but no deal is done. Thanks for the interest Flowta.

Thanks Scott. I am only in the market towards the end of next year. It will be my birthday, I will have some extra cash coming in, and I will be able to justify spending the loot to my wife et al. Just starting to get all the info I need so that I can start obsessing

I seriously hope you aren't talking to me dude.

Thanks Regard, Exactly the info I needed. No worries, I don't get caught up by other people telling me what I need to do. Not knocking the 29er just that I like what I like and it's a Zula

Mis type, sorry about that, should have been 30.9
