Slave Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 R300 isn't really a lot of cash these days. I agree that it's a bit exessive for the odd coffee, coke or bar one, but if you stop for brekkie and then later for a bar-one and coke, that could cost 'bout R300 these days. OUr money is getting to more like the zim dollar every day. Oh,. BTW, there is already a hread that carries this story. "MTB hijacking in Alberton Area" by Wendell.

AndreZA Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 On my road cycle training rides I take R30 and on the MTB R50 because the shops along that route is more expansive. Unless I know I'm going to have breakfast I do not carry alot of cash.
Mackie Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I travel with my credit card only, I carry it between my cycling rods and upper leg.
