They were in Claremont before then (1980's). Lions Square was like a satellite shop Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted July 12, 2021 Share 46 minutes ago, Grease_Monkey said: I work there yes. WHY THE HANGER BIKE CO? The Derailleur HANGER is an integral part of the Bicycle. Jonty and Andrew’s father, Arno Neethling, played an integral part in the boys cycling careers and helped grow SA cycling as a sport. As an international commissaire, some of his most notable jobs included the Commonwealth and Olympic Games. Arno’s other love was flying – so the word HANGER, as in airplane HANGER HANGAR, stuck with the boys and seemed a fitting way to honour their father who passed away in February 2017. The Goal was to create a place where people could “HANG out” and share their passion for bikes. And so “The Hanger Bike Co.” was born. I always thought it was a cool name for a bike shop but then I saw this in the about section and RESTDAYBIKEHUBINISSOCD kicked in HANGER vs HANGAR Helmet vs Helmut Threw vs Through #SEMANET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I've been into Strand twice. Lion Square? Nerdy beer? i met a guy at my brother in laws bday party 2 years ago. He hasn't been in Cape Town in 4 years at that stage and lives in Durbanville.

If I didn't have sites to visit in town I would probably go there once or twice a year to collect running shoes or other sportsing equipment (other than road rides through there). I'm definitely one of those guys!! 18 minutes ago, Hairy on a Davidson said: it is just because @Chewbacca landy runs out of oil before he gets there My Landy now lives in Grotto bay.....

Up to now, best decision for us. interesting, I moved from Strand to Brackenshire about 12 years ago and I wouldnt move back to the Helderberg for any money. road congestion there is just nuts, even after Broadway Bld was upgraded. Brackenshire is just so much more central for me. To each his own I guess... Allrounder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
