BICYCLING MAGAZINE HAS A STYLE GURU
28 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s so cool that Bicycling Magazine has a fashion/style editor, called “STYLEMAN.” It’s even better that a recent issue rasies the question we brought up with regards to cyclists wearing helmets whilst dining in restaurants/cafes and eateries around Cape Town. You’ll find STYLEMAN’S reply might hamper his chances of working for Vogue. www.bicycling.co.za […]

Fresh from not inviting me to his birthday party, Goldfish’s Dom sent this in, which earns him minimal points as he begins the mammoth climb back into the good books.

CYCLIST WEARS HELMET INDOORS AT CAPRICE
08 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Grant M, sent this pic in. Taken at Caprice on Saturday, citing the incident as “very emboerrissing.” Very toilet behaviour It’s not just emboerrissing, Grant, it’s downright rude. It is anti-social, ignorant behaviour by a handful of people who, as children, were never taught any manners. I would have got the wooden spoon […]

REPEAT OFFENDERS
26 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Pavlov’s dogs learnt faster than this. Nice helmet Your friend’s balls are also very impressive Our social etiquette teachings are clearly far from over, as the exact same two cyclists from the last improper cyclist behaviour article are spotted again at Giovanni’s – and again the one fellow doesn’t understand the no-helmet rule.

SHIMANO BOYS UP IN ARMS
19 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It seems yesterday’s post about cyclists wearing helmets in public places has caused a furore of sorts at the SA cycling Mecca, TheHubSA. The Hub SA – The cyclists’ place of worship Whilst the five pages of message board rants hasn’t eclipsed the previous record of 15, it seems to be gaining momentum. […]

FAIL
18 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I think the best way to put it into perspective would be to think back to school days when the bullies used to put “KICK ME” stickers on the back of the geeks’ blazers, and they would get “gat-skops” all day without realising why. Only this time the geeks have put the stickers on themselves […]

CAN WE AT LEAST REMOVE OUR HELMETS?
10 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Like taxis, we have come to tolerate our lycra-engulfed brethren and now realise that the only defense is to simply divert young childrens’ attention away from the bizarre behaviour and stray balls on display. Sunday morning gave us some extreme examples of how the Shimano Warriors’ anti-social behaviour has gone WAY past the edge of […]

IS THIS YOUR FATHER?
25 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I know a lot has been said on these pages in the past, and I understand that some of you might think I’m waging a secret little war against the Shimano-ladened breathren. But I’m not. I’m just teasing. I’m just being observant and asking questions. Like right here, right now. I promise I’m not “having […]
