Pure Savage Posted April 29, 2019 Share I'd be paranoid AF stopping there alone in the dark to fix whatever. Wonder how long a GP4000 will last when completely flat, coz there no way i'm stopping.Yeah, it gets to the thwap thwap thwap stage of the valve hitting the ground. I got 240m I reckon. Bike is insured, so took garmin off and was prepared. Zub and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted April 29, 2019 Share einna ..... but you can run the "victim card" with the fiance for a while now, win win!It all started with us riding around the block in order for the dog to get a bit of a run. Fiance felt the urge to start racing us (me with one hand on the bars and the other holding the dog's leash + being pulled along by a whippet makes you go nice and fast). Flip flops slipped off the pedals when the gear slipped and I had no way to control the bike riding with one hand! Ended up taking out a sprinkler, baby tree and landing with my face on a stone = bad concussion. hopefield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted April 29, 2019 Share The punctures you mentioned on twitter or another issue?So many pinch flats lately, on a about 4 from 5 rides. Luckily this weekend I was puncture free. Cat eye, and 2 rocks. Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albatross Posted May 11, 2019 Share Is there a local "Bike to work day" I see it is normally on the third Friday of May in the US but I haven't seen any promotion here in SA. Do you guys n gals in Europe have anything on the calendar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bateleur1 Posted May 13, 2019 Share I saw this recently... we can only dream here in SA. Yip. It is something to see. But ironically the authorities are lately under pressure to improve the infrastructure for cycling in the cities as it is still not remotely as good as the Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands. They are also building new cycling paths outside the city boundaries. I saw two weeks ago that they are building a new cycle lane not far from where we living.
