Your wife ain't a member of the national team I suppose?? The trainers and jackets are unisex by the way. I would never wear her cycling shorts, I am a sprinter I got way bigger legs than her :)

Its not that hard or special. I know several riders(non pro) who can do this. Even on 166meter and 250 meter tracks in the turn. The lifting is not the hard thing its the timing. You need to lift at the right spot not too late not early and not too long as it all costs time. The best ones only...

Borrow Cyling kit from the girlfriend. She got a jacket saying Belgian National Cycling Team and lots of other things like that. Note: (the Girlfriend is a multiple national champion(the kit is genuine) and came 7th and 13th at worlds once)

I gave some away to people as a memory and some to friends who don't have that many. So I am stuck with only about 15 left, thats less than the girlfriend :)

Its all about being isolated and dealer policy to explain the difference between australia and european prices. Some manufacturerses lock the south african market off from the rest off the world to increase wholsale profit. An example For my thesis I took a rondom sample of some bicycle shops...

Standard is the double crankset some go single(in europa that is). Only consider triple when hills are very steep where you race, compared to europe. Bar end shifters are old school but if you like the feel... The mtb like extra brakes deliver firmer braking and on steep and or bumpy downhils...

Things I have experienced while racing in South Africa as an European where sometimes strange. First Introduction about myself to clare up from where I look at racing. I am 23 year old used to race in Europe. Raced primarely in western cape while in SA(was 22 at that time), did races in...

Yeah but thats the netherlands. their country is flat(except from a smal part close to german/belgian border). wild estimation 75% of their country is at 50m above sea level or lower, considerable part of it is even below sea level :) .

comparing to tour de france cat 4 maybe cat 3 depending on the rest of the climbs on that day. In a mountain stage they would be cat 4 in a flat stage cat 3. There are no actual rules a climb for listing in cats. On general on a flat stage a climb gets a higher rating. Climbs with stge finish at...

Just check year around weather in other places in the world. Cape town is a very nice place for a cyclist if you look at the...

Things I have done Enter the local 200k team ride(teams of 12). Convince your friends to set off in a paceline at 45k/h or more. Have guys give their wheel when you puncture and leave them in the middle of nowhere. note: We did win the event in a new course record and got newspaper and tv...
