Skubarra Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Had a blast with the lekker tailwind. Was flying up Brackenfell Boulevard passing loads of cars stuck in the traffic gridlock. Always a thrill ???? G e r h a r d Odendaal, Bateleur1, cat-i and 1 other 4
Imploder Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Joburg has a problem with falling trees! Yoh! Bateleur1 and cat-i 2
DJR Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Yoh, the Southeaster was rough this morning, and cold!
Velouria Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Yoh, the Southeaster was rough this morning, and cold!I didn't ride today, but my ride home yesterday had a few scary moments. My 65mm deep sections had a mind of their own! Hairy, Bateleur1 and DJR 3
Bateleur1 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Joburg has a problem with falling trees! Yoh! That is actually a big problem here as well. We are surrounded by quite a few natural forests and these trees take quite a beating between storms winds and heavy snowfall.

Eddy Gordo Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I struggled yesterday morning down lower main road into cape town. Blown over by the traffic light at fargo. Only because i was off balance and further down the mainroad i was like a drunk on a bicycle. DJR and cat-i 2

splat Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Riding home via Vredehoek and Rhodes Mem was a bad idea.Not sure where would have been better though. Woodstock would have been dangerous too cat-i and Hairy 2
Dadbod Racing Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 A few years ago I decided to commute to work.  But "there are no showers at work I was told", so I showered before I left home and then got in really early to have a cowboy splash in the mens toilets. The first day I did this I realised that the doors couldn't lock, so I stole a door wedge from a door that always had to remain open (I used to hide it under the hand basin so I didn't have to fetch it all the time) and carried on my cowboy splash in peace. I did get a big fright one day when one of the data analysts also got there early but the door was wedged so he basically broke in. I could see he looked at me in a "what kind of freak show is this type look" but I had some dirt on him. I'd keep it quiet that he allowed me to make system changes without getting the proper sign offs so we were even Stevens....  Commuting is awesome, I do it when I can but being on the school run makes it a bit difficult.  I did the Woodstock, through CBD and home via Llandudno Constantia Nek route the other day... :-) DJR, cat-i, Imploder and 2 others 5
DJR Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I did a bit of a detour this morning to show the youngest D the safest way from home to UCT. No, I didn't cry like his mother did when he went to Grade 1, I just got a speck of dust in my eye when I rode on to work. So, what did I learn? That even a little commute can be a precious thing? For sure!
