....and all along I thought one held the knurl nut (aka acorn) betwixt left thumb and forefinger and cranked the skewer with the right hand. Until one could crank no more. I guess using a rock (I have seen that) is toooo tight?

The Blue Route is a public space, you can take all the pics you want to. And you can sell them. Good luck.

The bikes (where they use bicycles) are not maintained, only repaired when FUBAR. The bikes are supplied on tender, cheapest one gets the tender......) There is no standardization (our PO has 3 totally different bikes) The quality of spares supplied is shocking, e.g. centre-pull brakes with flexible levers So, to answer your question, gears wouldn't work for long. Inside info is that they are looking at ebikes, but my guess is that they will be the cheapest of the cheap, so the problem will shift, not be solved.

May I have the honour of being your first supporter? Details to follow. En koffie by Perdepoort?

Teletubbies = cyclist/motorcyclist with GoPro mounted on helmet a la the famous/infamous (depending on how many times you were forced to watch it by your children) TV show. Great that you have his details, nail him and use twitter for added response from Checkers.

Didn't any of the teletubbies get some footage of the truck?

Rata, please man, this graphic is way too explicit. You're going to get into big trouble with all that pink for the 29r XC folk

I often wonder who takes the decision to do this to a successful brand/product/service ?

I don't even own a cycling Garmin. Years ago they gave me excellent service on an old Etrex, so much so that I wouldn't want any other GPS. Customer service and positive brand awareness are core to the long-term success of something like Garmin in SA (not least of all because Saffers tend to mouth off a lot ) Outsourcing something as important as customer service sends (to me anyway) completely the wrong message. For the sake of all you Garmin owners out there, I really hope I am proven wrong.

I wasn't aware there was anything to debate?

Ride. Around. Fat. Pedestrians. QED

The smartest tool in your toolbox is google. Always.

Just the wheels. And your wallet

But then that is probably the appropriate use for a Specialised helmet.......

If you dig a little deeper, you'll discover that old Jan was sent to "The Cape" because of his own light-fingerdnes. (And no, I don't have the time to find the source right now) Bummer about the bike being stolen.

That same fork, that very well-travelled, rescued from oblivion, fork?

As j bend, dan vergeet jy van die nipples. Or so I'm told.

Fox terrier? Poodle? Daschund? Think carefully before answering

Is it uncool to use one of those "waving hand" thingies that people used to have on the back windows of their 3L Granadas? That way everyone will be greeted all the time and this here fred would disappear. Please. Like this?

I'm driving down to Cape Town after a long stay in the Karoo. Should I be greeting every vehicle I pass? Or only those with bicycles on the back? I'm a bit worried about getting a sore arm...and then people start saying things about me ...

You took the words right outta my mouth.

"Imposing Wholesalers" is a Chinese shop and has been there a long time. It has a good reputation amongst the locals. Then owner's name is Kenny (unable to get a number for him as yet) The immediate response from a local was that we should warn him (Kenny). The fact that the website is at wozaonline.co.za makes me think it could be Alfred &co

Ja, but. Although the number doesn't link immediately to Alfred Samuels (whose number, by the way, is 071 459 7145 ), don't assume that the owner of this shop is involved. It's possible that the guys running the website are simply usimng this pic to add legitimacy to their game. (Just my very own personal theory
