Critical Mass Jozi - 27 September 2013

[Wez-O]

Visited the Centurion Chinese market - got these beauties:

 

 

The joy about these is that if they are still burning strong at the end of the ride, you can take them to a rave!

You don't wanna know how long it took her to put all those glow sticks on with cable ties.

I went with sellotape when attaching lights to my spokes. Hopefully they stay put, or I'll have 4m of hazzard trying to tangle itself in my front wheel

We were out of sellotape unfortunately. She didn't like my suggestion of insulation tape. I mean, that's all i have in the workshop. Sellotape is not my domain.

 

 

I gather it is quiet here but a huge rush at Dischem

Damn I need to build a hipster bike and put lights on it!

Well, I'm glad I don't have to do too much on the wheels because it's going to take the rest of the afternoon to get everything else done.

If too many people get "hipster bikes" do they then become mainstream and are no longer hipster?
