I popped into the breakfast banquet vibe at Constantia Uitsig on Thursday. Prawn-City, you might call it. Not that I mind – as long as there aren’t any pricks riding through red lights or dining with their helmets on – what’s not to like? One-on-one: Seven-time Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong talks to ‘the […]
England rugby international, Stuart Abbott MBE (2oceansvibe Character, The Inside Centre ) is very knowledgeable in the way of the prawn. Having lived in both Cape Town and London for many years, he can spot them a mile away, especially when it comes to the bad habits they exhibit, without a care in the world […]
I certainly won’t be missing an opportunity to meet the great man and hopefully raise our concerns and get his views on various cycling topics often raised here on 2oceansvibe. You know, from cycling through red traffic lights, to balls exposed in front of children and the wearing of cycling helmets whilst dinging. But, you […]
For those of you who haven’t been tracking the progress, I strongly suggest to get tuned in, because it’s all about to come to a head. No, not that kind of head. Seriously, after two months and nearly 2,000km, Geoff Brink will unicycle into Cape Town later this week to complete The Heart and Sole […]
Unprecedented visuals here in Cape Town, as the nature of the prawn is, once again, under further analysis. This incredible report filed by Paul M: Dear Seth I was happily fighting the last few minutes of bottlenecked traffic on Kloofnek, homebound to Camps Bay this afternoon at around 17h30. Crawling in 1st gear after I […]
We have documented proof from all over the world, of prawns wearing their cycling helmets indoors. Venezuela is no different, my friends. Just because you go abroad, doesn’t mean these attacks will stop. This recent account from a 2oceansviber tells a sad tale, as we witness the carnage occurring across the globe. When will it […]
As cycling chaos continues on the roads of Cape Town, seemingly reaching it’s peak as avid cyclists are even seen to be turning on each other, 2oceansvibe has found and wants to show the more chilled alternative to the excessive aggression, exposing one’s balls, , illegal activity, prawn behaviour and complete disregard for the rest of […]
You can tell I was caught off guard as Bicycling Magazine editor, Mike Finch (Fincheeeey! – bloody good rep!) took me from behind in the Claremont Vida e. Check it out: We’re getting there, guys. Slowly but surely.. [thanks mike]
It seems the prawns are moving further and further away from District 9, as my Saturday morning was punctuated with prawn activity. I was leaving Pick ‘n Pay in Camps Bay and had to slam on the brakes as a large group of them on bicycles came speeding through a red traffic light. I noticed […]
INCREDIBLE scenes over the weekend outside Vida e in Green Point, as we see a “prawn” approaching a car guard. A “prawn” approaches a car guard outside Vida e, Green Point The car guard is not quite sure about that prawn – as we notice continued multi-species integration on the streets of Cape […]
I didn’t give this much of a chance when it was sent in to me. But then I did, and I was pleased. 2oceansvibe’s relationship with non-A-to-B-transportation related cycling and cyclists is a torrid and well-documented vibe, a lot of which can be seen in graphic detail in our much celebrated and aptly named “CYCLING” […]
A horrified Justin L just sent this in. It seems not even Sainsbury’s stores are safe from helmet attacks.. Where does it end? Hey Seth I was cruising around the Putney Sainsburys yesterday, pretty idle thursday, nothing crazy, when I turned a corner into the bread aisle and got hit with this.. Justin […]
In by far the most interesting news I’ve found on iol (ie. REUTERS) in quite some time, this article may well be all you need to get you through your miserable day. Check it out: Brothel offers discounts for cyclists Berlin – A Berlin brothel has come up with a novel way to negate […]
Cycling helmet attacks in the Southern Suburbs and beyond are a rarity – a rarity that surely adds to the draw of that particular semi-rural lifestyle. Well that’s all changing now, as the helmet attacks in public spaces are becoming more and more common that side of the mountain. This revolting display was taken at […]
Please enjoy this tool wearing his helmet indoors. While shopping, no less. You, my friend, are a tool Shame. [thanks grant]
It is not only the larny sidewalk cafe’s and trendy restaurants that are subjected to this madness and intolerable behaviour dished out by cyclists. Cyclists who seem hell-bent on wearing their helmets in public places; in some kind of sick alien-style ritual that forms the core of these helmet attacks that seem to be spreading […]
BLATANTLY ignoring Vida e’s polite public-led request (here) for cyclists to remove their helmets when frequenting their establishment; it seems that THESE cyclists couldn’t care less about the general public’s wishes regarding their grossly inappropriate, anti-social and imposing behaviour. This, sent in this morning by a 2oceansvibe reader and concerned fellow citizen. Camps Bay […]
Only a week since the last overseas attack we received from New York (here ), this new report comes in from a victim in the UK. Let’s hear Ryan A’s reaction: Madness Seth, Many of us have been sitting in the relative safety of the UK watching, with horror, the shameless helmet attacks back […]
As the resounding chorus of dissent aimed at these senseless attacks continue, each new sighting becomes more and more difficult to comprehend. Like this recent accosting at the Shell garage shop, on Buitenkant. What is this alien doing? Take me to your leader. Vida e in South Africa have followed the 2oceansvibe led […]
One would think that in a city which is still suffering the heartache and memories of the 9/11 attacks, people would be more mindful when walking into stores and laying on a full-on helmet attack? This, from Kerrin N in New York City: Hi Seth, Greetings from Brooklyn (New York, not Millerton), I […]
You’re rude and you’re coming across as a tool. Kindly remove your helmet. [thanks rob]
Public sentiment and general hygiene concern has come to the fore, as more and more restaurants country-wide are now blatantly refusing entry to ALL cyclists, let alone those who refuse to wear their helmets while they dine – a very particular complaint that we have, here at 2oceansvibe. This, from Remo’s restaurant, just outside Mount […]
This just in. Having spent some time in my youth in Pinelands, it always cuts me deep when I hear bad stories to do with the once sleepy hollow. I was having a great day today, between working on the movie script and some down time at Caprice – before I received this email and […]
A couple months back we brought you one of the funniest ads of your life, featuring a BMX that a guy was selling (here). That has nothing to do with this article, other than the fact that it involves a bike of sorts. I just mentioned that to, you know, bring across an air on […]
I didn’t want to get into this, as it is clearly a publicity stunt of sorts, but the emails don’t seem to be stopping and I simply have to say SOMETHING about it. I’m talking about this “National Skirt Extension Project” thing that is being advertised everywhere. So check it out. Here are the ads […]
I’d say the colour black has the monopoly when it comes to cycling shorts colours. I think we should have a quick recap as to why that is. Here is a super cool group of cyclists wearing black shorts: Cyclists – in black shorts(I think it’s fair to say they are lined up according […]
News just in from The Associated Press: Armstrong falls during race, is taken to hospital 18 minutes ago BALTANAS, Spain (AP)  Lance Armstrong has been taken to a hospital after falling during the first stage of a five-day race in Spain. The seven-time Tour de France champion may have injured his […]
Shocking, shocking, shocking! As poms and ex-pats have to spend their time worrying about terror attacks repeats of past atrocities, it seems a local trend of attack is on the rise over there – bicycle helmets indoors. When will the madness end? This, from a troubled Dale S: Hey Seth, I am in […]
It seems it is not just Cape Town that is under attack by the indoor helmet wearing brethren. Here we see fresh footage taken at Louis Botha airport in Durban on Sunday. Indoor helmet attack at Louis Botha airport, Durban The similarities to suicide bomb attacks are numerous. Most notable is the fact […]
The public outcry against cyclists wearing their helmets in restaurants and other retail outlets, is reaching fever pitch. With the public attacks occurring everywhere from Sea Point Spar and Giovanni’s, to Newport Deli and Vida e; there seems to be no end in sight, as they INSIST on further alienating themselves from the overwhelming majority […]
