Hi All

 

Been lurking around for a while now, finally decided to join the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I'm from Cape Town and after many years finally decided to get back into biking. Bought my MTB bike earlier this year after going through a very confusing time trying to understand even the basics. How the cycling world has changed over the years. I'm very glad I found the forum as it's very informative, which helped quite a bit in clearing the mist of confusion, and as a bonus, it's a local South African community.

Hope I might have something useful to contribute some day.

Hi all, 

 

New here and also new to mountain biking. 

 

Decided to buy a MTB a week ago to start getting back into shape and looking forward to the new adventure that awaits. 

 

Hope to learn a lot from all the knowledge and experience here on the forum. 

 

I am from Centurion and pretty old (47) but still enjoy life and what it has to offer.

Hi all.

 

Name is Wade. Been out the riding scene for a long time. Sold my bike because I ran into financial issues.

 

Now that I am back on track, my son rides every day. (He is 5). We live in a Lekka bike friendly and kid friendly complex. He has been asking me to ride every day with him.

 

Took the plunge. Yesterday bought a Merida big 9. 500 TFS.

 

Can’t wait to throw it around some trails.

 

Cheers all.

Hi all,

 

I've been on the forum since last year, bought my mountain bike from the classifieds.

 

I'm not new to mountain biking, but I was out of the sport since high school in 2008.

 

I stay in Durbanville and I'm loving the trails around here.

 

I'm looking for some people to ride with, so if anyone is open to one more person joining, please DM me.

I'm fairly unfit at present, but I'm fast on the downhill and technical sections.

I'm trying to cycle daily to work on the fitness side.

I love any form of jumps on the trail and I try and push my technical riding as hard as I can.

Welcome Holiman,

 

Try posting your online bike shop question in another section. I’m not sure people head over to this thread often. And remember, anything you buy you need to share on “Boast about your latest purchases here..” thread.
