Mojoman Posted February 15, 2014 Share I had to go to Krugersdorp this morning and took the Maropeng road, I noticed a lot of road cyclists with those tri bars (straight bars up front) that could not for love nor money hold a straight course! Is this common? I would have thought on a road bike you would want to be in control all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted February 15, 2014 Share Questioning a guy with a TT bike is a big "no no". Pretend it never happened and move on, else you will get flamed worse than a Steers patty! kingalton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see a lot of the same cyclists going for a run in the cradle about late morning. They won't be around for long after race day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieterg Posted February 15, 2014 Share After my 4hour MTB training ride this morning a TT guy passed me. I chased him don't and got a nice slip 40-45km/h on my dualie but he didn't say anything not even when I turned off. No words were spoken. Not nice! !!!!

Jewbacca Posted February 15, 2014 Share Saw that this morning guy on a huge unicycle flying up Boyes drive! It was amazing 36inch wheels... I built/rebuilt a few of those for the guys around christmas for their Argus mission. 1 x 48 hole 4 cross and 1 x 36 hole 3 cross. We built up a 36inch silly 2 wheeled bike on Friday as well....... It is ridiculous! But OP, we all know tri-athletes have zero bike handling skills! They are forced to ride 7 metres apart because of it.....
