Flemish Lion Posted May 28, 2018 Share I had a closer look at my commuter and its a write-off as my alu frame has a proper kink, back wheel needs a new rim and also need a new fork as it snapped off.. maybe it makes sense to use my carbon Giant Anthem for commuting rather than buying a new commuter... if I decide to ever commute by bike again.Good news is that trauma surgeon has cleared me to drive and cycle outside from mid June. But I need to make sure my hip and pelvis can bend again as currently I cannot touch/hold my handlebars yet on my race bike indoors. But 2/3 weeks is a while still and very happy with the recovery thus far and in no rush.Keep warm / dry out there and safe of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongs with the recovery on the psycological side as well. I know just having to deal with two car accidents that involved no injurie it took me some time, let alone a bike and car accident. #OneStepAtATime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zub Posted May 31, 2018 Share Hope I will claw back some KM's after today from the okes in Cape Town. Decided not to be a chicken this morning and braved the weather. I am now pondering on how my shoes will dry in time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted May 31, 2018 Share Oh, we found this little guy on the cycle lane on Tuesday .... I think / it looks like it was caught by a bird or some other animal and was killed like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samson99 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Also braved the weather. Only got rain for about 4km. LOL Luckily i have a window cubicle and put the shoes and wet gloves on the window sill and the "aircon"blows downward to dry them out. My bike also looks like a washing line to get the kit dry. That said, the commute home will be interesting today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samson99 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Head wind home was crazy. Felt like I was standing still at times. ???? But made it home safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Smith Posted May 31, 2018 Share Glad you made it safely back home. Respect for commuting today. I am strongly considering to get myself an indoor trainer. Nothing expensive, the Giant Cyclotron Mag looks perfect for my needs.I am quite frustrated (happens when I don't get my ride in) because I want to get a session in today, but could not commute and the wind does not make it easier either.

samson99 Posted June 1, 2018 Share This morning's cycle was daft. Rain, cold and some serious wind which couldn't decide on a direction. But passing all the cars standing still in the traffic was totally worth it.Although they probably all thought i was crazy. Was hoping Hairy opted out of the cycle this morning so i could increase my lead in time for the vacation break. 5 weeks left to increase the lead.

Zub Posted June 1, 2018 Share Head wind home was crazy. Felt like I was standing still at times. But made it home safely. That wind yesterday was a tailwind for me I only had to pedal a few times to get the bike moving initially, wind did the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
