The Ouzo Posted August 30, 2019 Share I was a naughty boy tonight. Getting changed to ride home and realize I left my helmet at home. No helmetNo glassesNo glovesNo ice ID I felt very vulnerable. And then it got darker a lot sooner than I anticipated. I basically TT’d all the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat-i Posted August 31, 2019 Share Riding home on Wednesday I was taken out by a Learner Driver. Saw me coming, but decided to cross in-front of me at the last moment. After receiving a slight bump, I entered a proper horizontal slide across the tar ... think I was probably close to 40km/h when I made contact with the road. Luckily very little damage, ... some cuts and scrapes on my legs but nothing needing stitches, ... my wrist hurts a bit, but already much better. I wore a roller-blade wrist-brace on Thursday's and today's commute, worked well Bike lost some handlebar tape, and the quick-release lever is destroyed. They were very apologetic, and probably suffered more from shock than I did. All in all very lucky Wow Eddy glad you are alive to tell the story. It happens so quickly and we are so vulnerable.

Hairy Posted September 2, 2019 Share Garmin Edge....................................... You'll thank me later.after a failed experience with a Garmin watch where when the frail and pathetic strap failed, and the only solution they could offer me was to buy a whole new watch because the strap was integrated I have made the call to try and avoid buying a Garmin.

Rouxenator Posted September 2, 2019 Share I get tremendous battery life out of my Xiaomi A2 Lite. Builders sells them, might get it on takealot too. Weather is looking good this week so I'll get in some kilos on the commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather is looking good this week so I'll get in some kilos on the commute. Was a bit crispy this morning. Toes and Fingers were numb - the first time in weeks. Lots of frost about, but was a lovely commute. Rouxenator, EddieV, Long Wheel Base and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
