I just run tubeless.

honnestly depending of the day and the time of the day I’ll ride either on the road or on the cycle path between TV and Milnerton and both are full of glass. It’s just idiots throwing their bottles out the windows vs vagrants throwing their bottles while walking on the cycle paths. I don’t think it’s targeted to us.

 

And for the guy who shouted at you, damn people should really start minding their own ******* business…

My results came back negative. But I’ll be doing zone 2 rides for a little longer just in case. 

Good luck with your "recovery" - keep safe.

Gary Fisher and I felt brave and took the cycle lane through Paardeneiland to the city and back.More worried about getting a flat from all the glass and metal bits than being bikejacked.City cops on duty along the route.Had to stop at Espresso Bakery for a reward!!

Yep, fellow cyclist felt the need to berate me for riding inside the very narrow yellow lane on the road instead of the cycle path between Melkbos and Blaawberg.

I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion so I just ignored him, but he was pretty obnoxious.

I hear the lower use as a result of Covid dea, but what is odd for me is that between Melkbos and Blaawberg you find maybe 2 or 3 patches of glass in the road, but literally you find only 200 m of cycle path free of glass. So how does all this glass end up in the cycle lane and not the road? - especially as there is a cement barrier between the two so its not being washed off the road by rain or scattered by car tyres to the side of the road and onto the cycle path. Its crossed my mind that its an attempt to stop cyclists for some reason.

I've almost given up riding the cycle path now between the muggings and puncture repair practice i've been blessed with. 

That cyclist was probably shouting at you to use the cycle lane as required by law!

Another day, another IDT workout... as we're closing in on the mid-point for this year, I find myself slightly ahead of my annual goal. Happiness is!

  • Distance: +4.9% further
  • Elevation: +5.4% higher
  • Duration: +0.9% ahead
  • Speed: +3.6% faster (imagine we had races, the picture could be completely different).

Not the Berg ‘n Bush….

but the Joburg ‘n Bush

Just pottering around the cradle with the missus. My “leave” days was consumed by issues at work, being the only sod in my department kinda leaves me to sort out crap.

I’m seriously miff that I’m stuck in the Big smoke this weekend.
