The only bad thing about dogs is how short their lives are. Sterkte BigDL!

Mary Poppins?

Wish I could post videos here - but a colleague'a wife manages some supermarkets so is driving around quite a bit in the Cape today - people playing soccer, out on the streets having some brewskies, hanging about... 8AM I was hanging up some washing and saw a laaitie riding his bike around the estate. Lovely to know people are respecting the lockdown.

Hahaha I did! Jou bliksem! At least you have plenty time to mend that tyre up now.

Went for my last ride before lockdown this afternoon at Helderberg - seems like alot of people had the same idea. Have not seen ever seen the trails that busy during the week. Luckily everyone I saw was riding solo.

NO! Why is that so hard to grasp. Stay inside your property. There are bigger things going on than your ride.

If I look at my Strava I can't find a gap of more than 4 days without a ride outside for a veeery long time - it's gonna be rough! At least I have a view of Helderberg from my front stoep where I can sit on the trainer, and visualise being on the mountain

Couldn't have put it better.

The day my wife asks to be set up on the indoor trainer I really will know the end of the world is here!

I'd imagine CWC will be your best option.

I've had one family member call me asking where they can buy an IDT today, another asking whether I'll be using mine in the next 3 weeks. You could name your price in the classifieds now!

If that is the case I 100% agree you shouldn't be out and about. But if it is a farmer's backyard and it's deserted I certainly don't see an issue with it. Either way, I'll be setting up my IDT and fans tonight. Time to re-subscribe to TrainerRoad.

Are you not going to go into your backyard?

Play some tug of war and wrestle with him that's what I'll be doing.

It is going to be incredibly tough on them. But luckily most (probably none) of us here have that excuse.

No man, let's be lekker and play by the rules. You won't die from not cycling for the next 3 weeks.

He was pretty clear on that. No leaving the house.

I'm sure you are right - I see myself deep cleaning my bicycle with a toothbrush in the near future just to keep busy inside.

I've heard of the green ambulance before... but that was usually after a big night at varsity. Creme Soda has ALL the sugar to cure a babalas.

Although their bikes are probably some of the fastest bikes out there. I don't see myself buying anything else in the near future. Very excited to see what they do when they update the Smuggler. If it's anything like what they did with the Scout that will be my next bike.

For me it has squat to do with visor or no visor. It has to do with coverage on the back of your head. Typically (and I won't say all) helmets with visors are mtb focused and have better coverage, helmets with no visors are more road and XC oriented and won't have that level of coverage. So figure out what type of riding you do, and buy a helmet that provides the protection you need. IF there are options with and without visors that provide the coverage you need, buy the one that you like the most.

That is a seriously good buy!

I have yet to see an mtb helmet with propper coverage with no visor. Only the lightweight XC helmets have no visors - but they are essentially road helmets.

One of the best series ever made IMO.

I didn't think of it at the time. I actually have a 150mm drop, 31.6 internal Lyne in my garage I need to put up on the classifieds if you are interested. Bought a new bike and needed a 30.9mm version. PM me if you are interested.
