Many Thanks

I am looking for another helmut, but otherwise just to check out some shops really. To see what you JHB folks have to offer, my new missus was also keen at getting a bike, so a bit of bike shopping as well.

If you like to haggle about a price, try Cajees.

 

If you have a racing CV, try Specialized Melorse Arch (Concept Cyclery).

 

Looking for some good deals, try Solomons (Depends on what specials they have).

 

Bike shopping - Westdene cycles, and ask for discount (no haggling required).

 

Else, you can go to Cyclelab, Sports Basement, Dunkeld Cycles, etc.

 

Depends where in Jhb you are.

Mikes bikes in Greenside - with Vida Café across the road

Linden Cycle and can do in guess where.... Linden - with Whippet coffee a block away

Finishline cycles in the far east rand

Hunter cycles in Braamfontein - and a side trip to Fathers and Doubleshot coffee

Morningside cycles in Rivonia

Dunkeld cycle in Dunkeld - and if you must - Motherland coffee or better yet (for the pastries) Fournos...

 

That should keep you busy for a while - and buzzed...

I will be based in the Northcliff area. I have no idea where that is in relation to anything unfortunately.

Close to my whole list with the exception of Morningside (although it's not too far) and Finishline - you need a passport for that one.. although they do give out free coffee... :)

Nothcliff and Westdene, Linden, Mikes Bikes, Compelete Cyclists are all within the area.

You coming to Critical Mass on Friday night, it would be great to finally put a face to the alias, as I know a dog can't type :whistling:
