Do you have a bicycle?

I haven't had a bicycle since I learnt to drive.
 
I got a mountain bike for training my knee, since running and squats of any type are no longer an option.

Should have done it years ago instead of running.
 
I pumped my bikes tires 2 months ago but that's about as far as I've gotten to riding it this year.

As long a a vehicle (not only a motor vehicle) kees left (technically to the left of the median of the road), the vehicle is keeping left.

From personal experience it is safer to ride a meter or more from the left hard edge of the road (occupy the lane) than to hug the side of the road (giving the road / lane away, causing motorists to disregard you as traffic)

But, this is South Africa and might is right. So a 18 wheeler has more right to the road than a Fortuner, which has more rights than a Etios, which has more rights than a bicycle… or so everybody acts!
 
Do you people also ride in the middle of the road or are you the non-drol type?

Our club actually has strict rules. And as a member of the exco as well as ride captain, I'm responsible for eliminating drol riding. I'm also a car fanatic so I get extra irritated at cyclists because so many ride k@k
 
Yes, currently 3 but there is a gap so need another. First need a house with a garage though.
 
Yes, here is mine.

I purchased this one in the UK when I was there for a course. I paid probably >R20K less for it there than what I would have paid for it here in SA. It was the cycle store's "End of range, last season's stock" which was sold at big markdowns.
Although it's an older generation, that ultegra crank is one of the most aesthetically pleasing cranks ever made.
 
Peugeot Rapport - same as it was 25 years ago just with 700c wheels.
20” BMX dirt jumper
26” Dirt Jumper
29” hard tail GT karok-something-or-other

All old and not at all special besides their history with me.
What do you do with your 20" ? Where do you ride it?
Also just got a used 29" hard tail karok-something-or-other
