Driving past a car (with bikes on back) three or four times to ascertain brand, model, year etc. etc. Usually followed by lekker argument with riding buddies in car about exactly WHICH brand, model, year etc.

Has anyone noticed an improvement in security after the big CSS Spruit clean-up and all the arrests made? And a big thanks from me to all the Spruit Fairies...

F#ck the people that are stealing/hijacking bikes. Excuse my poor language but they are scum of the earth. I don't care what their reasons are for stealing a bike, they deserve a good beating and/or a bullet and/or a long time in jail. F#ck 'em.

Johnny in Bellville has a Jurgens Caravan, a Honda 125CC bike (not running) and a full set of picnic gear that he would like to swop for a Toyota Hilux bakkie with less than 120,000km's...

This guy says is better than me: "Float for these pedals is 6 degrees. Float is measured in degrees and is the amount of side to side rotational movement over the ball of your foot before the clip starts to release. This can be an important factor if your pedal stroke is non-planar which applies to most riders. Many knee and joint problems due to pedaling are caused from incorrectly set or adjusted cleats or not enough pedal float to account for lateral movement in a riders foot during pedal rotation. As cleats wear float will increase and it is important to maintain tension on the pedals to reduce unwanted pedal release."

Hope you guys are OK! Was this near the Carlow Rd bridge over Barry Herzog or closer to where Rustenberg merges with Barry Herzog?

Dots has first dibs on the 60km entry (@ 09h00).

Group E - sorry, do not think that will help.

The only reason the bike is so PRETTY is because the downhill route is soooooooooo SCARY.

I think a BAN on the SELLER is in order, Mr. Moderator?

Hi, I have an entry for the 60km available, which I will sell for the price I paid for it (R220)....OR, if you have a REALLY good reason, you may have it for FREE...substitution etc. to be done ASAP. PM me. Thank you.

Aliens, dude...ALIENS

Why is seeding in the smaller races ALWAYS an issue? At least, there IS seeding, unlike the fark-up at the Cradle Challenge this year.

So, in essence, because I ride alone and in the dark, it's only a matter of time before I get whacked by someone with no regard for life or limb? Don't you just LOVE this place? :thumbdown:

Just when I think I've become immune to crazy cycling prices...ONLY R10.8k for an indoor trainer cos R7.5k doesn't really buy you much. What a flipping bargain. Not.

WTF? All that stuff - jeez, you are worse than flipping MacGyver...FOUR tyre levers???

Specialized SWAT system...

Check the size of the WHEELS on that bike!

They will also have to enforce the no drinking, no kissing, no public gatherings, no playing with a LONG STICK / AKA FISHING.....................and no remote controlling of Airbus A380's...

Did you walk a mile for a camel?

So, We addressed the DRUGS issue in Lance Armstrong thread...now we have dealt with GUNS in this thread...now, who's gonna start a thread about HOOKERS?

Double HAMMY?

That is so funny . Dunno if you'll be smiling after the damages claim (for which you are vicariously liable) and/or having to euthanize your dog...

Spruit...punching...Strava...guns...threats...WTF, people?

Carpet, unfortunately, that is not (yet) the case...most guys won't even ride the Spruit on their own.
