This afternoon I sorted out our cycling collection. Apart from the 7 bikes we have 8 pairs of cycling shoes, 7 helmets, 5 camelbaks and 3 Thule bike carriers. And we gave 3 bikes away before the move.luckily my wife cycles so I don't have spend my life justifying what I spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Break Posted June 27, 2012 Share What Thule racks you have to sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton1 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Ridiculous really. I have one bike, one helmet, one pair of shoes, one bike rack, two pairs of cycling kit. Anything more is silly. Surely? Sell the extras or even better give them away to development teams as money is obviously not an issue. Dustbin Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, there is a 50 litre box devoted only to elbow and knee pads. A whole cupboard full of bike lights. A whole chest of drawers contains bike spares and accessories. Bear in mind a year ago we gave a whole lot to cycling development... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I FLY Posted June 27, 2012 Share In the past three years we have given 8 bikes to various development programs. When we buy another bike we normally give one away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Hopefully you gave away the outdated 26ers when you "upgraded" to 29ers. Probably best, because you couldn't sell them now, for love ???? or munny???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taygan Posted June 27, 2012 Share I FLY I know how you fell. 2*Rd6*Mtb (various 26ers, 29ers and a ss.) Running out of space for all our stuff...but would not change it for the world.I think each bike is a different story of past Epics etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAD4 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Where did you move to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I FLY Posted June 28, 2012 Share I took a transfer to one of our divisions based in Witbank. We have made contact with some local riders and will start riding with them this week. We are 170kms closer to Sabie, Mankele, Swaziland and other good riding places. Wife gets to work from home and my commuting time reduces from 4 hours a day to 20 minutes. Much more time to ride our bikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
