  1. Unfortunately not guys. In current day Italy, if you do that sign to someone, it means that his wife is being unfaithful to him. This is hardly a compliment. So , if you do this to an italian, make sure he is your friend, and understands your gesture ???? Of course the gesture we see also has a "cool" significance, like how we use it in SA, and probably the music industry.
  2. Bernal will lose a lot of Italian fans with this gesture. If youre Italian, you will understand ????????
  3. Bump to top. Please if anyone has seen anything? (or knows about what happened here )
  4. Posting on behalf of a friend. Today Sunday 12th July. If anybody saw the accident on Hendrik Potgieter Rd, cycling East to West, between Farm City and Spur, please send your photos\Dash Cams to my e-mail address:theunis.bosch@standardbank.co.za Thank you.
  5. Hello. Anybody know how to get your name on your race number? Thanks

    Hi All. Anyone else having trouble booking for the actual race, and the accommodation via the official websites ?
  7. Talk Wrench and you thought that by getting the answers to a survey devised in marketing101 was going to be easy ?
  8. This is the correct method. Only thing I would add is, inflate your tyres to the usual pressure you use whilst riding. You climb on your bike, and do the procedure as detailed above.
  9. Don't know what the fuss is about. Most people text while driving, and this includes JMPD and EMPD
  10. 10 cyclists have been banned for littering outside of the "green zones" during the recent Nove Colli 2019. Following video evidence along the route, these cyclists will not be allowed to compete in the 2020 edition. This is probably the equivalent of our Argus Cycle Tour, and I wish the same initiative could be done in this country. For any of you understanding Italian, or want to do a google translate, here is the original Italian text below. ================================================================================= Dieci ciclisti della Nove Colli squalificati dagli organizzatori per aver gettato rifiuti A seguito delle segnalazioni ricevute da parte delle guardie Ecologiche e delle rivelazioni avvenute tramite i sistemi di video sorveglianza, per aver gettato rifiuti fuori dalle ecozone prestabilite Sono stati 10 i ciclisti squalificati dall’organizzazione della granfondo Nove Colli, a seguito delle segnalazioni ricevute da parte delle guardie Ecologiche e delle rivelazioni avvenute tramite i sistemi di video sorveglianza, per aver gettato rifiuti fuori dalle ecozone prestabilite. Come da Regolamento di gara, sezione 28.3, i partecipanti rei del fatto sono stati squalificati per l’edizione 2019 e non potranno prendere parte a quella del 2020. “Abbiamo analizzato con cura i video a disposizione e abbiamo squalificato quelli che hanno volontariamente gettato rifiuti fuori della ecozone” dice il presidente Alessandro Spada “devo dire che mi aspettavo molta più gente in flagrante; evidentemente le segnalazioni prima e durante la manifestazione hanno avuto il loro peso. Mi piace anche pensare che l’educazione civica dei ciclisti stia migliorando. In qualsiasi caso noi continueremo la nostra lotta, fino ad arrivare ad avere una Nove Colli completamente Green”.
  11. Where does this perception come from ? Just about every Tom, Dick and Harry can fly a drone, compared to a highly specialised helicopter pilot.
  12. Not anymore, after these series of posts!
  13. Go and see Conrad of Eagle Canyon Cycles. He will take good care of you.
  14. The first factor is you must like the bike. Unless your sponsor chooses for you. The second is that it needs to fall inside your budget. Following this, its just legs and lungs.
  15. BMXER - you risk going out of business very quickly ... you need to design a wheel for ... "odd cateye" - how big is that? Different in different countries "reasonable consumer" - Who is this ? Refined Swiss professional , or down to earth Indian cattle herder? "durable" - how tough is that ? "safe" - quantify this ? Bombs are exploding in Iraq, you want your bike to be safe. "fit for purpose" - again quantify this? 52Kg pro rider or 115kg weekend warrior kamikaze Get my drift? Then you also get the stiff upper lipped, tight arse professional weekend warrior who claims it was a cateye, instead of a "swallow me whole" South African pothole.
