  1. Our running club were actually advising against running with mask due to the dangers of rebreathing CO2 while exercising. Dont know the merits of this claim, and Im not going into it. Im running with my buff, as Ive been doing every winter.
  2. Well according to some hubbers this is totally irresponsible. The virus lurks behind trees and jumps anyone without a mask.
  3. This might explain some of the outbursts we've seen on this thread. https://www.psypost.org/2020/05/meat-eaters-tend-to-have-better-psychological-health-than-vegetarians-56698
  4. A lot of politics on the hub from about 2007 to 2009. About the same time the failed crossing the floor to Cyclenation happened. There was a failed coup as well. If I remember correctly we still voted for moderators back then.
  5. Well obviously, if you are deadlifting 400kg then you are not getting away cheaply.
  6. We are busy setting up a small homemade gym. For 10k you can go pretty far. A proper multi purpose bench plus weights is around 6k.
  7. No idea, he was definitely in the wrong. But good on him for warning others.

  9. From one of my Watsapp groups. Hi guys (from the Raffa Bike group) This is a warning! Don't try exercising after the 9 am curfew. I was held by the police for 14 hours. No food no water no chairs to sit on. Just hard concrete floor. Unbelievably cruel. Animals at the SPCA are treated better. I was arrested on Friday for riding my bicycle after the curfew. 5kms away from home. They are not messing around. Please do not take any chances. Forward this without disclosing my name. First I spent 9 hours in a holding cell at a police station with four other men, two beggars, one guy caught driving at 745 pm and the fourth was caught illegally transporting chemicals. Thankfully all nice people. I paid bail for the 2 beggars because they were seriously screwed and would have stayed in jail for a week or two. The worst part was not having a clue what was going to happen next and when. The holding cell had a solid steel door, no way of communication unless you shout. We sat in there for hours hoping an officer would tell us what was going on - all the while thinking that any minute they would allow us to pay for bail and get the hell out of there. When I was arrested I was told that I should expect bail "soon". I did not see police officer for a few hours after being locked up and even then whenever anyone appeared they would say "yes yes soon don't worry". Eventually they moved us in a police van late Friday night to the Randburg police station where our fingerprints were taken. That took another 2 hours. Finally I was released after paying R500 bail at 3 am after being taken back to Douglasdale police station. No amount of pleading or asking for a second chance helped. I did not dare offer a bribe. The guys who arrested me did not ask for one. Bail was granted and I have to make an appearance in court in Randburg on 2nd July. Please, this is not a joke. Nor an exaggeration. Don't mess with them/tempt fate. Black, white, rich or poor it doesn't matter.

  11. We got some pretty decent ones at work. They fit over your head instead of over the ears, much more comfortable. Shape is also anatomical, so it fits snugly over the chin and nose. And they have replaceable filters, which makes sense.
  12. The one is breaking the law and can push us back to level 5. The other one is an ass hat. I dont know, which is worse?
  13. Correct me if Im wrong, but this is for N95 masks not cloth masks. The latter offers almost no protection against virus transmission.
  14. On the flip side we have Morgan Freeman. I would watch 24 hours of infomercials if he was involved.
  15. Much quieter today. All the Karens are suffering from some DOMS.
  16. Really guys, I didn’t actually phone the police. I feel stupid for having to say this.
  17. In dont know wich one is harder, running with your face covered or running on the treadmill. Roads were quiet, only saw 3 other runners, 2 not wearing masks. I called 10111. My concern after 6 weeks on the treadmill was that my legs would feel a little dead, but it literally felt as if the ground moved under me. Weirdest sensation. And it was cold.
  18. A buff should be fine, I can run with a buff no problem. But I will pass out wearing a mask.
  19. If any member of the public can enter the same space that you currently occupy then it's a public space place whatever you want to call it. Good luck trying to explain your argument to over zealous cop.
  20. This is the only f$%&ing allowed on level 4.
  21. Its simple. Public place = mask.
  22. Dont think we can get that locally. Im probably going to get the zwiftpod or maybe the Garmin 245, it links with Zwift as well.
  23. Do you have a link for the Runn or is it the Runpod you are talking about?
