You are truly special. Your lack of consideration for your fellow human is tangible. I politely asked that dog owners keep their dogs on a leash and pick up their poo (as required by law and common human decency). This polite request sent you into a (rabies-induced?) demented frenzy of attacks and BS. Over and out. Over and out.

Yes, it is pretty simple until a big Rottweiler (off leash) sinks its fangs into your thigh. I was dismounted at the time, waiting for the walkers to pass, when their huge rottie made a lunge for me - one foot one the ground and the other clipped in means I had nowhere to run to / hide. "Oh, he never does that", says the considerate and caring dog-lover. R2,000 later - a visit to the medi-clinic (after hours and on public holiday) + a week of antibiotics + tetanus shot + various bandages + no swimming till wound healed, which ruined my holiday. Despite the above, I have encountered the same dog and owner twice subsequently and both times the dog was not on a leash. Dog owners appear to operate in a morality/legal vacuum where their rights triumph over everyone else's. This is readily apparent to anyone who walks/rides in Emmarentia Park. Why is it sooooo difficult for dog owners to keep their dogs on a leash and pick up their poop?

Jeez, you are so far in the wrong, I have to stifle a chuckle. Simple question, should dogs be on leashes in public parks? YES/NO? Are you usually this pig-headed or is this trolling Wednesday?

Look at the photo above your post - see a SINGLE LEASH? I ride slowly and with consideration - usually around the walkers. It would be lovely if the dog walkers kept their animals on a leash and stopped letting them **** everywhere. Perhaps, you should check up on the bylaws - ALL DOGS TO BE ON A LEASH AT ALL TIMES. You are a prime example of the inconsiderate dog owners I am referring to - you don't own the park.

Some okes on bikes are douches - fact. But I have yet to see a dog on a leash in Emmarentia in the mornings... The dog-lovers are FAR from innocent

Says something when you can only find 2 reviews for the Vipa on Google...just saying

Clean-Green FTW!

Try a CAMBER (carbon expert) 2014 Bible of Bike Tests Roundtable Reels: Specialized Camber 29 Find out why you should know about this versatile 29er By: Brice Minnigh [/url] 15 Most mountain bikers are well aware of Specialized’s flagship Stumpjumper and Enduro models. But hiding in the shadow of these standout bikes is a less-celebrated yet equally capable beast: the Specialized Camber Expert Carbon EVO 29. Watch this video to find out why some of our testers picked the Camber as their favorite bike of the entire 2014 Bible of Bike Tests. SPECIALIZED CAMBER EXPERT CARBON EVO 29 Price: $6,000 Contact: specialized.com Direct Link: specialized.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/camber/camber-expert-carbon-evo-29 Final Take: This beast proves that the ‘Big Red S’ actually stands for ‘Slayer.’ http://stwww.bikemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Specialized-Camber-Expert-Carbon-Evo-29.jpg Specialized Camber Expert Carbon EVO 29 This bike rocked our worlds. And it has a strong case for being the overall favorite of the 2014 Bible of Bike Tests. It certainly was my favorite. With Specialized already known for game-changing steeds like the Stumpjumper and the Enduro, one could be forgiven for asking how the wagon-wheeled Camber could rank so highly. The hard part in explaining this is deciding where to actually begin. Let’s start with how well this stiff, lightweight bike pedals, which is better than an Enduro or Stumpjumper—the Camber’s beefier FSR brethren, which gobble up meaty descents like Jabba the Hutt coming off a fast but are known for pedal bob while climbing with the shock wide open. Not so with the Camber, which has less travel and employs a lower leverage ratio, allowing for more efficient pedaling than other FSR models. And while the Camber didn’t feel as plush on the downhills as an Enduro or a Stumpy, it was eminently capable compared to many of the bikes in our test—a strength that could partially be attributed to the enlightened choice of a RockShox Pike fork with its travel reduced to 120 millimeters. The Pike’s stiff, 35-millimeter stanchions and bump-slaying proclivities, combined with the steamroller tendencies of 29-inch wheels, made the Camber a veritable Wehrmacht when pointed downhill. The downside to this descending speed was the presence of Formula T1 S brakes, whose stopping power didn’t measure up to the Camber’s penchant for speed. However, this was easily offset by the rest of the parts, including a SRAM X1 drivetrain, Roval Traverse wheels, Specialized tires and 750-millimeter-wide Specialized XC Mini Riser bars. For the well-rounded trail rider who appreciates a taxing technical climb almost as much as a descent, the Camber could never steer you wrong. –Brice Minnigh Bible of Bike Tests Now Available In Full Online.
