eddy Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 I'm sure some hippies have tried to list their essential oil infusion business as needing to open! A friend's son had no difficulty in having his dealer deliver via courier even under stage 5 lockdown.
Duane_Bosch Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 A friend's son had no difficulty in having his dealer deliver via courier even under stage 5 lockdown.This is South Africa in a nutshell. Those that allow themselves to be policed and taxed are policed and taxed into oblivion. Those that don'tgiveafuk...... Well they don'tgiveafuk. When I was doing articles we had a guy show up in a jag with shoe boxes of slips expecting us to rustle up a set of audited accounts for him to apply for a bond. When we asked him how he paid tax he replied with a straight face that he couldn't afford to pay tax. Not a word of a lie.
Duane_Bosch Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 I'd be careful promoting your LBS as open on this public forum. Rather send a DM. AFAIK, they can operate under strict restrictions only. Very few of us actually qualify. (i.e. for commuters only). The reason I say this is that there's a snitch on here who complained to the relevant cycling bodies about a rider riding more than 5km from his house. That type of person would probably report an LBS for selling him something too... People really do become spiteful and petty in times of difficulty.It takes a special type of worm to report someone for trying to make a living in such difficult times.
asianzone Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 It takes a special type of worm to report someone for trying to make a living in such difficult times.AgreeI went to my LBS to pick up a smart trainer yesterday and wanted to alert this forum but decided against it for that reason. Last thing i want is for them to have to shut down!Today i send my bike for a nice wash and service, just helping them out with what little i can do
Duane_Bosch Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Today i send my bike for a nice wash and service, just helping them out with what little i can do Exactly. These people are our friends in a lot of cases. We're trying to help out our local restaurants in our hood where we can. We've got to help each other. Not F*&k each other over. FFS.

asianzone Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 I think you meant to say a "Deep Cleaning and Sanitation" at your LBS! Sounds about right. That bike has sat on my trainer for the past 18 months, i think it has maybe 10 litres of sweat and alot of other stuff spilled all over itWill collect it later

I FLY Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 I think you meant to say a "Deep Cleaning and Sanitation" at your LBS!I think this applies to all our bikes that have been going through those rivers of covid virus droplets left on the road by the non-mask wearers.

HahaGood news is that i went to collect my bike and the guy said "sorry, we can only finish it by Monday as we are super busy."Normally i would be fuming but i am happy they are doing a brisk tradeHappy to ride my other cleaner bike for the weekend
TNT1 Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 I think this applies to all our bikes that have been going through those rivers of covid virus droplets left on the road by the non-mask wearers.I think if you just don't lick your bike, you'll be ok there.
