Re: Good Friday 6th April - anyone riding?

I think I'll make it also, though I normally like to average around the mid *40's, but can tone it down to 28,

*this has no relation to the truth whatsoever

Re: Felt TK2 frameset for swap

So my fancy new bike has arrived! :)

I thought instead of money I might see if anyone had something that I might want to swap for it....
My 2 year old son pretty much screams constantly, throws his food, hits his brother and refuses to sleep,
wanna swap?

Re: A habit of crashing and now I am scared!

Dougie, FWIW I was in a similar mind set a while ago after losing out to gravity 3 times within a couple of months, for me I grew to blame (and hate) my cleats and pedals, let face it, they are bloody stupid things, I threated to whip them John Cleese style then replace them by fitting flat non clip...

Dougie, I was right behind you when you went down, maybe it was the wet white lines?.. or maybe that white Fiat Uno?, it’s still a blur, heal soon

Re: Dulwich Hill spotted

I recently picked up my new DHBC wind jacket and have been proudly wearing it on my daily commute. I noticed that since wearing the jacket other cyclists go beyond the customary nod to sometimes offer a raised hand, the odd “Hi” or even a smile, (yes, freaky I know). Why, even pedestrians seem mesme...

Re: 2011 Flat Tyre Competition

Anyone looking to increase their flat tire count you’d be wise to head down the Cooks River cycleway. About 50m nth of the Canterbury Rd underpass is a fine piece of sculpture in the form of a burnt out car.

Hi I've just joined DHBC and have enjoyed hitting Centennial Park on sat mornings with the good people of the club. Don't get me wrong, I love my bike, but lately I've been eyeing off those sexy road bikes that silently whip past me. Starting with zero knowledge of road bikes, I've since been googli...
