Hole-in-Foot Disease

Move over Tex, it looks like El Pistolero may have a hole or two in his feet.

...and yes, I know, it besmirches this blog to post this stuff here.

Take that! Pink Singlespeed Triplets.

How many sets of singlespeeding triplets are there in the world? Not many.

What are the chances of a set of singlespeeding triplets on identical bikes walking into Cape Town's top singlespeed bike shop? Less than zero.

Proof that the impossible happens.

Inside the shop window, you might have noticed, is a ten year old boy, deep in thought. Is he:

• Offering thanks to his gods that he only has one sister ?
• Frantically memorising their names and phone numbers ?

All we need now is a matching set of 20" bikes. Any ideas?

Animal Welfare versus Human Taste

This poor critter was spotted lounging on the rear window ledge of an indiscriminate vintage Toyota Cressida bearing a CFP number plate. Poor dog has to lie there all the time, occasionally nodding his head at passing strangers. What a life.

Guaranteed best sellers in South Africa!!!

Every now and then a real gem just pops up to the surface, a bit like finding a diamond at your feet....well almost.

A recent gem was the Voodoo Bantu (http://fiforiders.blogspot.com/2009/06/voodoo-bantu.html) but now, lo and behold we have a real winner.........

Zuma Helmet:
A compact, streamlined design enhanced by a system of 26 vents: Zuma combines the characteristics of a technically advanced helmet with a dynamic, highly attractive look.

Regular Retail: R1300,00

...and that's without the standard shower attachment

Just in case you think I made that up:

I have always wanted to be at the start of a major race, leg cocked over the top tube, nonchalantly chewing gum and sporting the latest Zuma helmet.

Layla, hold me close, I think I'm going to start feeling dizzy. Layla??

Somebody tell me it's a joke. Please.

Where the hell have I been?

Layla Zoe laying it down.

And it's all Gunnar Berg's fault.
