slowpoke Posted October 2, 2008 Share i guarantee that there will be a sample of the TB cycling top at Renegades (Francesca's on Jan Smuts) and the best company will be there. we already have a mtb'er or two that regularly join us there so we are the most cyclist friendly coffee stop (also, that's where I go every friday!)

jmaccelari Posted October 3, 2008 Share So who did what today? I rode in to work in 32 minutes (motorbike 23 minutes usually, car usually 45+). 15.8kms with 190m climbing. Now on my second cup of coffee - home is closer to 350m climbing... Had fun in the cars on my MTB down William Nicol at 70kph!!! Didn't realise what my Mum meant when she used to tell me to "go play in the traffic"!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog_ Posted October 3, 2008 Share I did, like I do most days. Today I went down the Spruit all the way to William Nicol, then pedalled myself into star-seeing-territory trying to keep up with the cars going up the hill to the Ford garage The Spruit was very busy this morning. I managed to get myself in between 3 people on their Yeti's at one stage. Looked like a Yeti family, older guys, younger guy and a girl on a pink Yeti. Also had quite a few riders coming from the front. Was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted October 3, 2008 Share Jeremy, do you have showers at work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmaccelari Posted October 3, 2008 Share Jeremy' date=' do you have showers at work ? [/quote']Only Portuguese ones!!! To contest commuting fallacy #1: You don't need a shower. I shower before I go to work. I then get to work and cool down a little.Then off to the gents with a face cloth. A wipe down and re-applicationof deodorant and I'm fine... I keep the face cloth in a little plastic bag and make sure I allowit to dry properly in between uses!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of sweat is no big deal. We live in this super sterile world where TV adverts show imaginary clouds of germs emanating from the family dog's mouth, where layers of killer bacteria line the surfaces of your kitchen counter and where anti- bacterial soaps are supposedly the best thing a mom can do for her family. Like you say, once you've cooled off and stopped sweating, a wipe is good enough. There's nothing smelly about fresh exercise sweat and treated soon enough, you're fresh enough for anything work can throw at you. I just wish we can buy proper non-stink cycling jerseys. This trend towards recycled Checkers bag polyester stinky tops with zillions of product logos on really irks me. What happend to one-colour polycotton jerseys?

I'd be looking for a little independent confirmation if I were you. A guy phoned 702 recently, saying he didn't wash his hands after having a wee because his dingle was clean - I wouldn't share his popcorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
