Puncture Girl Posted March 12, 2010 Share Its gonna be a long day for you. That is what I was thinking as well I'd tell your friends at the braai not to wait up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanieFiets Posted March 12, 2010 Share 5 hours at least. so you should be finished by 15:00. Food should taste good after that at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazz Posted March 12, 2010 Share might as well strap a skottel to your handlebars, 6 pack of "cola " in your pockets and make a day of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclewizz Posted March 12, 2010 Share You'll be a lot more comfortable with takkies but if you want to suffer then wear flip flops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted March 12, 2010 Share Illegal to wear flip flops. It is even illegal to wear flip flops when driving a car. Reason is not very nice one but a valid one nonetheless. If you are in an accident and are killed instantly you always come out of your shoes - not sure why but this is what happens. If you are dead and still have your shoes on then the authorities know that you were not killed instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was illegal to wear them whilst driving a car in Sardinia in the early '80s. The police armed with Uzis set up roadblocks using this rule as their money-making racket. Didnt seem interested in much else. Like triangles in Mozambique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted March 12, 2010 Share I have heard it from a few cops that when they come across a body especially those run over on highways and the shoes are missing then they know the person was killed instantly. As for knowing of anyone who has actually put the theory to the test fortunately not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
