I drop my kids at school (still get a hug but refuse to hold my hand), go back home and then commute to work (Fellow parents probably think I'm a stay-at-home dad because I'm always in my cycling clothes when dropping the kids) Edited September 30, 2019 by Skubarra Hairy and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted September 30, 2019 Share Lycra or baggies at the school drop off As a student I once went to fetch my (later to be) wife from her res while dressed in a wetsuit....... .......Wind and wave conditions were perfect, so I absolutely maxed the time windsurfing, at the last second jumped in the bakkie, meant to get dressed on the way, whenever a red robot forced me to stop, too late realized I locked my clothes in someone elses cars boot, said "What The Hell", and kept going anyway, walked into reception and asked them to intercom her, turned a few heads, left a few wet patches behind and added to an undeserved reputation for being slightly crazy........still married many many years later, but haven't quite heard the end of that story. It gets used, inappropriately, to explain that I have no fashion sense!

EddieV Posted October 16, 2019 Share I’ve recently moved to Lakeside, and thus my shortest commute to Tygervalley has now increased to just under 40km one way. In order to save my spine on the rough roads around Wynberg I bought a 2nd hand Thudbuster. The downhill towards town from Wynberg is fraught with bumps and the Thudbuster works really well absorbing the shock. ..... and thus the morphing of the ‘2012 Ridgeback 3’ continues cfcjim, SilverRider, cat-i and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted October 16, 2019 Share Tuesday afternoon I pull out three thorns from the front wheel when I get home, actually been getting more and more thorns over the last few rides. This is on tar commute in Bellville ... So last night I check the tire, and pump it up. This morning the pressure is LOW ... Full cycling kit, ready for the commute to work .... I only took off the helmet and got the bike onto the workshop stand. Few minutes later both front and rear wheels were topped up with Sludge. lesson for the day ... Spring has sprung, and the thorns are back ... CHECK those tubeless tires .... Hairy, EddieV, cat-i and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imploder Posted October 29, 2019 Share Anyone else in Gauteng, notice how prevalent those RED PSHB stickers around the trees, are? https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2019-10-29-bugs-borers-and-heatwaves-life-and-mental-health-in-a-hotter-joburg/ Riding through Saxonwold, Rosebank and Dunkeld I see them all over the place.
