thx, I was diagnosed with high cholesterol 10 days prior... then boom...

Three months ago, "The Conqueror" and I embarked on an extraordinary journey, diving into the art of off-road triking. Together, we’ve navigated the challenges of hemiplegia caused by a stroke, rediscovered the beauty of nature, and reignited my passion for biking. Let’s rewind to October 12, 2024: while on a business trip to Johannesburg, a severe stroke changed everything. It stole my health, my outdoor adventures, and my beloved mountain biking. Over the past year, I’ve endured daily physiotherapy, ongoing treatments, and the delicate dance of balancing work and life. Yet, the yearning to ride again never faded. After months of research, I found the perfect solution—a custom trike from AZUB in the Czech Republic. Their craftsmanship and support have been exceptional, and my trike, the only one of its kind in South Africa, has sparked plenty of curiosity on the trails. To date, I’ve covered 560km, tackling trails, jeep tracks, and dirt roads. The next big adventure? The Cape Town Cycle Tour—an event I’m counting down the days to. Every ride feels like reclaiming a piece of myself, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next! 🚴‍♂️✨

hi all, im importing a trike and want to know if its possible to convert 26" rims to tubeless? im probably asking an obvious question, but what the hell... fire away..

thx so much, appreciate the info. riding an Azub, new into sa market.

Does anyone know who or where I can get the app for Brose to manage the motor parameters

yes, ti fly x

Thx all. As I’ve had a stroke, therecumbent option is part of my rehabilitation . I’m thinking it might be cheaper to travel to Europe to collect and return with the bike as a used item.and brinh g it back with me as a excess luggage

Greetings all. ik Jill looking at having an recumbent trike custom built in the Czech Republic and I’m looking for advice with regards to the importation of the bike into South Africa. Particular, I’m concerned about the duties that need to be paid when the bike is shipped back to South Africa. In addition, they will be vet payable and how would I go about reclaiming thevat There is anybody on this group that has imported in South Africa that can share any advice. I’ll be most grateful. Thank you.

Simply advertising an item doesn't imply desperation from the seller. It's disrespectful for BH members to propose offers 40 to 50% lower than the asking price. If unable to afford the asking price, make a reasonable offer instead of attempting to take advantage. Let's be realistic with our offers.

greetings all. having survived a stroke and being left as a left sided hemiplegic, I'm now wanting to find ways to return to my passion of cyclin. (herewith ends the sob story!) so my attention has been drawn to the world of recumbant cycling with highly modified trikes. checkout ICE trikes and AZUB trikes..... and the excitement is starting to build again....... my question is.... who else rides recumbant cycles and do you ride off road.

Having had a stroke recently, I am not willing to give up on my passion for mountain biking, although this is somewhat of a new challenge I’m seriously thinking of moving to wards hand cycling to get me back out there again are there any active hand cyclist here tha c offer me advice on how to get into the next chapter of my cycling lie?

Thanks for the suggestions all, greatly appreciated.

hi all, I need to replace bearings and spindle on the above Garmin peddles, any idea where I can get spares from?

Greetings fellow cyclists.... Anyone know of a reputable retailer running good deals on Assos Bib Shorts? Appreicate the help, thanks a million.
