Reme Le Hane

It is, Mont Marie however is sunrise to 9am,so about 730ish

Yeah I saw a few of those, would be nice to have some form of air based dart gun to help encourage punctures.

I agree and I hope we both wrong, let's hope its the freedom madness and people chill out next week

Yep, one of the pics I posted above was a group of about 10 that had just rode past.

Yeah, my area also saw majority with masks but the funny thing was most of those not wearing them where the old people. [emoji23]

I have lived here 13 years, been walking my dogs here for like 9 of them, never have I seen this many people out at the same time. Well effing done government...

U guys have fun, my bed is really comfy.

I feel that family should not classify as an organised group as let's be realistic, inside or outside, if one of you gets it, odds are the rest are hours behind you. There is only so much socially distancing u can do in the same house

From Friday, leaving the house will require a mask, the reason for leaving the house is irrelevant.

Waking up at 6,**** I've already finishing my coffee and started working.

Yeah but let's be honest, we are all either going to go out early morning or late evening anyway. I am. Not gonna wait till like 1 in the afternoon to go for a ride or a run. So weather the law forces us to go in the morning or not, most of us will end up going out in the morning anyway.

I have both, could not tell you the difference. I have the 35mm on now, had the 31.8 before, have a 31.8 on my spark it also had the 35 for some time. Given I am the guy who can barely ride 30km on an alu bar on jeep track, if there where a difference between 35 and 31.8 I'd probably have felt it. I know vibracore did a massive document about their product and comparisons between the 2 sizes as well as against carbon and they went with the 31.8 as it offered better dampening. The larger size reduced the efficacy of their fancy dampening insert. From what I recall though is in carbon the dampening effect is increased in the wider size. I guess that means if you going carbon and have the option bigger is better, other than that I think it really is a much of a muchness.

My bike shop ordered it from whomever the supplier is so should be readily available locally.

Not in South Africa, I looked before buying the vibracore, only 30mm riser carbon bar that was 780mm I could find was made by box and it was like 170gbp before shipping and customs, so prolly like 4 grand by the time it reaches your door. I use it for the numb hands, so the vribacore worked just as well and that was about 1.8

Oh sorry, thought this was bike hub, not overly sensitive political correctness hub, my bad.

And the guy in front is asymptomatic and then boom, everyone is infected.

I also went from a spark to a Genius. Genius came with a 50mm stem with, and off the bat I replaced the bar literally without even trying it as I cannot ride Alu bars, they make my hands go numb. Bike shop suggested I get a 30mm rise on top of 30mm of spacers, in the end that was too much, but I got the Spank vibro core 800mm. As a bar it was great, it felt great when I was ridding, but I dropped it a bit and it was better and for testing I took the Lyne carbon bar off the spark. How I am ridding now and am quite happy with, needs some more ridding once we can as I have a longer fork now too. 20mm spacers 780mm lyne carbon bar 15mm rise 45mm lyne carbon stem. When all this madness is over I'll put the spank back with the spacers on top but need it cut to 780 first. While 800 felt good and did not feel wrong in anyway when I rode it as that's how I rode the bike from day 1, 780 is def better. Then I will run the 40mm stem. You def right, it is very, very much a personal preference thing, I am lucky to have spars to play with as I have bought them over the years through the bikes. I rode my spark with 20mm rise and that lyne bar and stem combo. If at all possible see what you can lend from friends as it really is an ideal try before you buy setup. How I ended up switching back was grabbing the mechanics bike to test the fork before I bought it and his cockpit was very similar to what I hat and just like 20m of ridding I was like no, this feels better and went home and redid my cockpit.

The jurno also said you can jog from level 3. I saw no disconnect from that and the draft. While generally done alone, it like cycling is just as much a group activity. It also states no recreational movement, running and cycling are both sport and recreation.

Here is some updated info and the article has attached the current draft proposal. https://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/level-4-lockdown-you-can-exercise-alone-and-no-visiting-friends-and-family-47190025 As the article states, jogging only from level 3, stands to reasons Cycling will be then at the earliest. Travel is restricted to work only, no recreational travel. Mandatory use of clothe masks. Stores are to have temperature scanning in addition to the sanitizers and implement a system to control entry other than queuing, like a ticketing system. Curfews from 8pm to 5am.

Thanks, may actually grab a pack of that, but yeah it was just a random add I saw for masks specifically designed for cycling, I assume they would work well when ur panting. I can't even ride with a single layer buff on my face, I can't breathe through them.

I agree and understand the benefits of the exercise, my point was purely against the statement of you not having to wear a mask as u alone. I think many of us are adapting, I had my cabin fever back in week 2 and I was a cranky irritable ass all week, instead of just an ass. At thins point however even if I can't ride outside, I'd even be happy to go sit in the damned office just to get out.

I dunno, they nothing more than a bad fashion accessory.There are reusable ones that can genuinely work, but they definitely not the ones flooding Facebook.

That's not what was said and makes no sense, you may be running alone, but what about the other 10 people running alone and the people walking along or walking their dogs alone. At some point in time in the same neighbourhood these peeps are going to intersect, if 1 of them is sick and asymptomatic depending on paths of cross intersection that 1 sick person could infect a dozen households because they were all alone and all did not need to wear masks as they were alone... Leaving alone does not mean you will be the only one outside assuming we're allowed such freedoms. Inside your house is basically the only place ur not required to wear one.

Too bad the mask is not in SA, the R600 price tag does not help, but pretty useless if it will never arrive.

Swear everything is listening, 2 posts on here about sufficiently breathable and protective masks for Covid cycling and guess what my damned Instagram adverts are...
