What gear to buy?

Eye protection; one bumble bee to the eye is enough. Polychromatic D'Arcs are reasonably priced and mine have lasted well.

Nearly got taken out by a "lesser spotted Cape skrop-hoener", aka tarrentaal, on Saturday. Had I hit him at 25km/h, a full fairing might not have saved me despite wearing head- and eye-gear worth R10k.

Most accessories could be subjected to this one test .............. "it depends"

As @MORNE  and others mentioned, many potential cyclists are scared off this sport by the cost of the so-called "essentials".

Have bike, will ride 🤙
