TNT1 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 People need to start to enjoy their riding, the races should also not be labelled as "races" anymore. can't you pay an entry fee, race hard, and get enjoyment from that?
EZRider Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 can't you pay an entry fee, race hard, and get enjoyment from that? I do. And when I want to muck about in the mountains I do that to.
TNT1 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I do. And when I want to muck about in the mountains I do that to. Same here. Even when I want a nice leisurely road ride, I do that as well. What I think people like the great and sainted dingle should rather do, is to stop trying to put us all in the same neat and tidy little box. Lemme be me, and when it comes to how I get enjoyment on a bicycle, stay out of it, and go get your bicycle related enjoyment your own way. Stop trying to force your ways on me.
Wyatt Earp Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 can't you pay an entry fee, race hard, and get enjoyment from that?Of course you can, the problem is what do you term as racing ?

Eugene Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I was told by a cycle importer that SA is the largest consumer of 29ers in the world.
TNT1 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Are you bipolar or something ? Nope. I have been tested.
TNT1 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) What seems to be your problem ? I am tired of people telling me to conform to their idea of how to get enjoyment of a sport/pastime/hobby that I love. The generic people, and the generic me. Get it? Please don't come beat me and stab me with your fancy Zombie Apocalypse inspired knives, ok? Edited January 5, 2012 by TNT1

TNT1 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Nobody spoke to you directly in the first place, Gee. I wish I knew how internet forums worked.
DubbelBuys Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Yes in SA everyone's a pro... Everyone's car is faster, house is more expensive, has more money, has a sexier girlfriend has a bigger penis, knows better etc. Tipiese klein mannetjie sindroom... Here's what brian lopes has to say in his book mastering mountain bike skills: http://books.google.co.za/books?id=_2wkch1SE3QC&pg=PA15&lpg=PA15&dq=brian+lopes+on+29ers&source=bl&ots=u3T4kCiQuE&sig=2hI9nFtdX2zroZKdjXE4ZekvZvo&hl=en&sa=X&ei=HdUFT-C-E4jU8QOF8IWaAQ&ved=0CBwQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false
Wyatt Earp Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Gee. I wish I knew how internet forums worked.With a hint of consistency, which you seem to lack, if you have a personal issue, use the PM function and we can see how groot your bek really is
TNT1 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) With a hint of consistency, which you seem to lack, if you have a personal issue, use the PM function and we can see how groot your bek really is Guy, I said as much, I have no personal issue. I meant a generic/proverbial "people". It seems like every other day someone is saying how to get enjoyment on a bicycle you have to do x,y, and fockin z. All I'm saying is some of us can get enjoyment from any bicycle in a number of ways. Riding hard, racing, falling off, riding slowly, many ways. My sincerest apologies that I quoted your post as an example of this. Edited January 5, 2012 by TNT1

I reckon if they take the word RACE out of most events, people will actually seat enjoying themselves.

Big H* Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 In Europe they cycle, in South Africa we race. Different attitude, Different priorities. Witkop soos in blond?????? In South Africa we have great publicity to promote so called new products and to make rather mediocre cyclists believe they can race.
