  1. esp. When it's your 'long distance' training area for stage races...
  2. JHB south- on the highway between Alberton & Vereeniging (R59).
  3. They have backing from proper cycling governing bodies, proper coaching and proper money behind them.Other that that- not much...
  4. They won't show on any podium- old news in terms of pro riders IMO... Especially if they have to ride the whole route and not whinge about being bust taking shortcuts...
  5. If you're using a tablet it's perfect where it is...Can't please everyone I guess...
  6. Well said- to many folk think your first house is an asset...
  7. I saw him the other morning on my ride- he jumped out of my way ????????
  8. Lefty shock = high maintenance ( more frequent servicing) = more costly to maintain. I would be skeptical about buying a second hand lefty...
  9. I heard about your incident from a friend of mine who's child goes to the same school as your child... Sorry for your accident- the other rider sounds like a right knob head and I hope he face plants nicely one day... I am pleased to hear that there is no lasting damage!!
  10. My SA team of choice would be the youngsters: Rourke & Travis - I hope they clean up!!
  11. Also in Delta Park... What are these "people" doing interfering with "my sport"!!!!??!?
  12. So if someone has to slam on brakes in their car to avoid hitting one of the JH riders and in turn causes an accident- injuring or killing someone in the process- would you still say that you guys cause no harm to anyone but yourselves?

    Cricket......

    Pity the Blue Bulls can't play this well when they're wearing pink...
  14. Was very keen to watch this video- then saw the reckless disregard for other traffic and red robots... These guys are no doubt good, maybe even great riders- but considering the amount of bitching we do when a cyclist is hit by a car I don't see how we can support this. These guys can only be causing more animosity towards us from other road users... Just my opinion, so please flame away if you want to...
  15. I'd be keen on a spider man one for my trips down the spruit...let me know if you're going through with the ordering
  16. I hope you have a fan belt in street fighting...Good luck
  17. I'll volunteer as bait to ride alone past there with other Hubbers lying in wait... Sick and tired of this ****,,
  18. I have also been keeping an eye out for a Burry ride- but seen nothing in JHB... I can do tomorrow pm if anyone's keen..?? Just a fratelli's, delta, gardens, alberts loop- say 2 hrs starting at 16:00??
  19. Any update on the cyclist?It's been playing on my mind the last week or so...hope she is ok??
  20. There are retards everywhere these days... Especially ones riding on an active runway!! There are certainly a lot of cyclists that seem to do their best to give us a bad name - a lot of the animosity towards us is caused by idiotic behavior... Common sense and decency is all I want for Christmas.
  21. My initial thoughts were fairly similar. R4400 for a two day course that covers basics that you learn on the trails as you go(except for wheel truing) seems very steep. Good luck to them- I liked the idea of it but when I looked at the prices it put me right off...
  22. Looks awesome - I wish I could enter... Work function mid day and Lumineers in the evening... Does 'The nerd' need a late-comer team mate for Sunday AM? Come on guys- let's support the best trail centre/ trail builder in JHB!!
