The expat cyclist

Feet on the coffee table, watchin the Ozzie open Tennis. C'mon Novak!!!

I use my skin to protect my knees.

Chicks dig scars. I think scars are cool. They tell stories. Around the braai your friends will ask: "Hey, what scar is that/what happened there?" I have yet to go to go to a braai and have my friends say "Hey, you have really nice skin..."

Track please!

Ag nee man, dit eindig nog voor dit klaar is.

Ag hel, ok boet: 1. I am married. So no, I may not. 2. Sorry. Crank dan. Wat is die Ingels vir crank nou weer? 3. Ek weet SRAM maak ne pedale nie. That is why I asked. 4. Even when you order online?

Cause even sheeeeeeeeet is good for something.

If a bike has a SRAM BB, may I fit Shitmano pedals on it? Or is that like mixing riser bars and bar-ends? And why do a lot of bikes these days come out WITHOUT pedals?

R1500 - R1750. Maybe R2k depending on the age of the bike.

Rodger is driving the bus again!

C'mon Rodger!!! Breakpoint!!!

I can't vote either. Me not have bike.

And what did you buy?

I am converting my 6 year old roadbike onto a SS tomorrow. 1. Get spacers for the cog on the freehub. 2. Remove FD and RD and cables 3. Remove small blade and maybe use shorter chainring bolts. 4. Maybe get a BMX chain or at least just a new one. That is that.

But GOG, in that case, it could be anyone flying over to the UK...since they don't know what she looks like.

I am tough by default - Hey, Afrika is nie 'n plek vir sussies nie!

Anyone who cares to the answer of this question? I am off to go finish my house duties - washing the dishes.

Who is the toughest? Well, the one that doesn't cry about it. The guy that doesn't feel like he has to justify himself to others.

If it is roadies, they will be to scared to get blood on there whites...

I think the question should be: If a freerider and the lycra clan walk into a bar and a fight breaks out, who will be the last man standing?

I'd rather prefer that the races are not too well attended. Take 94.7 for example. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many riders for the course. As a MTB'er you don't have the luxary of wide open tarred roads. Try fitting in 2000 riders in a single track section - it is just mayhem.

Uhm, nee, that is not going to work. I treat my wife no different than I would treat any of my male friends when it comes to cycling. I respect her that way. It is like my brother in law says: As jy saam die groot honde wil hardloop moet jy jou been hoog oplig.

All I heard is: "it tastes like sh...uhm, grass" French guy on a surftrip and "grass"...Ok.

So this is the new : "you have to have this or you will die"? The wheat part I can deal with. It is the grass part that will make me avoid this.

I am not getting beaten by housewives. It is oke's on rigid SS 29'ers that kick my butt...
