I have a confession to make, I like bicycles more than i like riding them. Don't get me wrong, i do enjoy a nice social ride, but i have much more fun stripping bikes, building them up again and mixing and matching components. 

 

Right now i would much rather spend my money on bicycles than blow 3 to 5K a month on car payments. My car may be falling apart but i have a garage full of bikes and i haven't ridden since the Argus. Once summer arrives in Cape Town i'll start riding again.

 

Sorry if i make you sick but that's your problem not mine. My only problem right now is sneaking bike number 10 past the wife.

What's so wrong with these guys and the bikes they ride? Do you think they do not belong on the road? I have a nice bike but I'm very slow. So what. If you think I do not belong on the road that you race on come tell me to my face!

Hi

Its  sad fact here in our Sunny Rainbow naton (S.A.)

A person works his ass off for 20 odd years before you actually can afford any really nice kit, bicycles, plasma tv's etc..

During the hard slog up the career ladder, you sit behind a desk 14 hours a day and cannot keep your physical shape,and fitness.. where it was at 20... life sucks like that...

So when you pass 35 your metabolic rate goes on strike... but your spending rate mproves... and so you buy good kit and stuff

DONT BE SICKENED BUYT US AS WE KEEP THE INDUSTRY ROLLING OVER, BE MOTIVATED TO GET A POSITION TO BE ABLE TO BUY, GOOD KIT BEFORE YOUR BODY SLOWS, AND YOU TOO WALK, UP "HILLS" PUSHING YOUR CARBON DREAM ....

Just because I have the money doesn't give you the right to have a go at me.

 

I ride a bike cause I can afford it.  Bought the Missus a set of Flucrum Racing 1's,  a CS 600 and Campy Record Ergo levers.  She actually rode to the starting block.  Did not feel well and turned around and went back to the hospitality area, why did she do that BECAUSE SHE COULD.

 

Why do the old toppies ride those expensive bikes BECAUSE THEY CAN.....

 

So young man GET OVER IT,  I have the money I wil spend it AS I SEE FIT.

 

NOW GO STUDY FOR YOUR EXAMS............  maybe you will also be able to afford a bike like that.

AS far as I know an expensive bike is just as difficult to push up a hill as a cheaper one . Anyway I am not sure what is an expensive bike ? For me a R20k bike is fairly cheap but for my mate selling newspapers a R2K bike is moerse expensive .
