Rudii Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 It's all a bit vague at the moment. Just saying that orders needs to be in line with Government Level 4 restrictions (at we all know how clear that is!!). They also can't split your order.
CY1970 Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Awesome my bike can ship... Yeah babyHopefully IDT's will be able to be shipped that is if they can get the stock in
splat Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Awesome my bike can ship... Yeah baby CWC shipping bikes ?That's awesomeI assume that its directly to you and not to the shop for set-up and collection ? I have a bike on order and the shop is waiting for distributor to spring into action - nothing can happen until the flag drops they say.It doesn't help that the shop is operating 'by appointment only' and 'for emergency repairs and spares only'.Very frustrating!
Carmichael Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Jip shipping directly to me. Can take in to help with setup if needs be. This is Cyclelab fourways send to me in Durbanville.
babse Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 at this stage an argument could be made for bike parts being essential services (medical) My mental health is taking a beating I need that IDT I ordered for 2am to 4am when I lie in bed worrying Just hope I get my kicker core and not Laurie's 26er tubesim hoping to get Mariette's Spark RC instead of my lame Look pedals
ChrisF Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Okayyyyyyy ..... Been an interesting afternoon, and I can now confirm everything is clear as MUD !! Went to Mr Price Sport - I need two exercise items for my rehad .... Mr PRice Sport is now a CLOTHING shop !!! The only sporting section not cordoned off is the bit with the last few boxing gloves. ALL the other sporting goods have been cordoned off !! So I walk over to SportsmansWarehouse ....Clothing - YESWatches, etc - YESCycling - BIG YES !! Even assembling a Titan for a client while he waits. Bike sales, parts sales, the lot !!! Even have a Kikr Climber, Wind and table in stock - all ready to be paid and taken out the door ... (sorry - NO stock of trainers)Weights, gym equipment, etc - section is open for sales, but shelves are mostly empty .... ALL other sporting goods, ie tennis, rugby, fishing, etc etc - CLOSED OFF !! GAME .... nope, the complete sporting section cordoned off !!! even their cycling section is CLOSED. Popped down to CWC .... doors are open, half the clothing is taped off ..... by now I am confused beyond belief .... And so I drive up the road to another bike shop. Yes they are open for business .... but may not sell bikes ..... HUH ?!? YES, you can order, pre-pay, even try and arrange for a courier ... but they may not let you take the bike out the door .... (I did NOT ask CWC if they are allowed to sell bikes) I did buy some spare parts from this shop. Obviously I spoke to the gent about the weird discrepancies .... he indicated that there is "severe unhappiness" in their industry about why some are allowed some sales and others not .... Can only wonder how this will end .... does SportmansWarehouse have some special licensing agreement, or are they taking one fat chance ?? Then again, 60% of their store is taped off ... Either way, if you need a spare tube ... go get it before Karen has SportsmansWarehouse locked down ... then again, rather support your LBS, as it appears he MAY sell you that spare tube.

I wonder if I could pick up my stages powermeter & bibshorts I ordered online if I buy winter stuff as well, probably not
DieselnDust Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 so wait wait wait..... We may only engage in essential travel which is work or medical emergency related.We can also drive around looking for a bike shop to buy spares for my essential bike..But I can't buy a bike, I can only buy parts.....So If a buy a front wheel, fork, frame, headset, stem, handlebar and tape, seat post , saddl, rear wheel,cassette, chain, crank, tyres, sealant, pedals and a bell I'm ok but I can't buy a bike..... i I can also buy the shoes, and winter clothing associated with the exercise related activity... You bike shop owners can thank me later.I'm in the market for a new road bike (frame) and maybe some other essential parts

ChrisF Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 mmh need some rim tape I might go check at my local sportsman tomorrow (or I'll tube it...)what did you buy at CWC? I wonder if I could pick up my stages powermeter & bibshorts I ordered online if I buy winter stuff as well, probably notI only stopped at CWC as I was driving past them on the way to my LBS ... was curious to see what they were selling ... and what was taped of. Purely because of the obvious "confusion/differences" between the different stores ...
ChrisF Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 And that's how a virus is spreadInteresting statement .... Mr Price Sports - your hands gets dis.infected when you go in ... probably 5 clients in the store. The biggest danger was the gent standing near the entrance, mask off, talking on his cell phone .... I stopped some 10m from him, and waited until he moved away ... as the exercise items were cordoned off I did not touch a single item in store SportsmansWarehouse ... I spoke to the staff to check availability, keeping a 2m distance. I did touch a few potential items ... sterilized my hands entering and leaving the store. Game ... parking booms auto open, no need to touch any surface. In Game I saw the taped off section and left. ... narrow isles made it impossible to always keep a proper safe distance ... CWC ... I walked in some 20m, saw the layout, saw the tape at various clothing racks ... staff at the tills about 10m away. I left without touching anything, never came close to anybody in the store. At my LBS I kept a safe distance while he wad busy with another client. Only then approached and did my business. The high risk part being when we looked at the spare parts on the shelves ... not practical to maintain a safe distance. We both wore masks, and I wore gloves I was wearing my mask all the time. After SportsmansWarehouse I wore my gloves when entering stores and touching items. So in my humble opinion, I am at much higher risk at my local Spar where the staff dont wear their masks properly ... where it is often not possible to maintain a safe distance from other shoppers, especially the mutants that require a mask around their throats .... Should add, when I have to go to the cafe I check out the parking area first ... I dont go in if it is busy !! I most often drive 4km to the Spar in the commercial district ... never more than 10 clients in this store outside of office hours Looking at some shoppers .... not wearing masks correctly .... touching things, then their faces ... lack of social distancing .... it can get dangerous out there !!!

I need a file full of certificates to visit work sites .... but I can drive to a sports.store .... With the current number of feet through the door these shops cant pay salaries never mind the rent .... At best it is an opportunity to get used to the new normal ... sterilising hands, safe distances, masks .... and frankly, people have not mastered this yet !!

If you think by not touching anything you are safe then you are highly mistaken. Also, no mask is going to prevent you from contracting the virus. I hope that you get undressed and remove your shoes before entering your home. Stay at home.

You realise the lockdown is to prepare the the hospitals for the inevitable. The majority of us are going to contract the virus until a vax is found so we are in lockdown until medical facilities are ready and in the meantime the spread is being reduced. However at some point we are going to L2/L1 and then infections will skyrocket. It is not IF, but rather WHEN.

However at some point we are going to L2/L1 and then infections will skyrocket. It is not IF, but rather WHEN.While I agree with you, I think the principle is that the driving to all the shops for non essentials is 'against the rules'. I'm not going to tell anyone how to live their lives, but what I am sick of is all the people driving around, sitting on the beach, exercising outside of curfew or on Parks land etc then lying and playing the victim when they get caught and arrested/fined. All these woeful cries of the 5%ers telling everyone the police are harassing them and violating their rights when they are in contravention of the current laws, know it and the police are just trying to do their jobs. The lady who was arrested on muizenberg beach because her toddler ran away?! Yeah.... they had been sitting on the beach for about 45 minutes when the cops came to tell them to move. It's funny because all my staff watched it unfold then laughed at the story published. Anyway, guys, your bikes aren't being shipped as the fine CWC will incur if caught shipping non essentials is huge. Regardless of the situation and how you feel about the rules, they are there, they are going to be policed and at the moment, toeing the line is probably the best thing we can do. But apparently that makes me a sheeple.... A catch phrase being thrown about by the same people sharing #plandemic
