No, no, no, no, no! That’s just not going to cut it, I’m afraid.
Not only have we had to endure fatalities at local eateries and coffee shops, but it seems the cycling helmet terror attacks are being carried out at grocery stores as well. Spotted at Sea Point SuperSpar Another reason to shop at Woolworths How long is law enforcement and the public as a whole […]
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 […]
Apparently Oyo restaurant at the V&A Waterfront are chasing cyclists away like “pests” and telling them that no more cyclists will be served. I swear. This is not the actual cyclist in question. Merely another incredible example sent in by a reader Check this out from hellopeter: THE INCIDENT I have frequented […]
As the trend for zero tolerence when it comes to cyclist’s wearing their helmets in public grows, it is interesting to note that some establishments have now made it law. This, found on the menu at Pirates in Hout Bay. 2oceansvibe and Cape Town as a whole, applaud Pirates I must say, my […]
Just when we thought 2009 was going smoothly, this happens! The bizarre helmet religious war continues, as we take in images from this, an unprecedented attack at a Groot Constantia wine tasting. Readers are warned that the following image may cause vomiting. An incredibly thick-skinned cyclist parades indoors with his helmet on Now […]
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. You would have caught the various attacks along the Atlantic Seaboard, with regards to cyclists entering and dining in restaurants and eateries with their helmets […]
The madness continues, as normal people everywhere, from Camps Bay to Mouille Point, are subjected to these unprovoked attacks on the social norm and general etiquette. This image, sent in by Shads, tells a harrowing story of ignorance, bad upbringing and emboerrissment. Grown adults, dining in a public eatery WITH their helmets on. Now […]
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 […]
We recently covered a couple cases of various individuals wearing helmets in public (here and here). The phenomena and social inadequacy seems to have spread further – this time, air travel. Pete L’s mate sent him these pics he took somewhere in the East, boarding a Vietnam Airlines plane. Come now Absolutely no problem […]
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. […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
