Ek gaan in die Kaap wees tussen 11 Junie (PE tot so 20 Junie) en dan Stanford en Kruip Stad tot 20 Julie, so as julle iets daar wil beplan, gee my 'n skree.

I'm planning a road show for the Can-Am Spyders and want to combine it with showcasing bikers who have become disabled or amputees due to bike accidents. Rough planning is Jhb to Dbn on 30 May, to PE on 10/11 June, to Stanford on 21 June, to Kruip Town on 5 July, to Kakamas on 20/21 July then...

Hi guys, those of you who have shown interest in this course, I'm planning another one for 30 April. It's free and presented in the interest of keeping you safer on the roads. I will post more details closer to the time together with the Guideline.

Hi BikerJan, sorry for not replying, but I still haven't worked out how to work the PC AND be on the bike at the same time  ??? Drop me a PM if you want to do another run - it comes through to my mail box as an alert.

Yep, each school had a mini traffic track, with traffic signs, properly painted road markings, even pedestrian crossings. Kids would be on little push bikes or for the older kids, bikes with training wheels. I vaguely remember that the teacher would be a "traffic cop" and so teach the kids about...

I'm working on a proposal that will incorporate the resurrection of the traffic/ pedestrian education programme we had in our schools way back when. Can anybody point me in the direction of a person who can give me the documentation or any other kind of information on the programme? Thanks...

I agree with you totally. The reason I conceptualised (big word, like marmalade  :P ) this course is that I noticed many people buying a bike for commuting, then cannot get going in traffic because it's so scary. The Noob Commuters course is done on a Saturday with a theoretical part then we...

Villiers is a nice ride, go on the R59 for the boring bit, then take one of the back roads to get there. There are some nice long sweeps around Paris-onna-River which will teach him cornering without scaring him. If you want a longer trip, go up Polokwane way, there are super sweeps and...

Great!! Exactly what he should be doing. Riding in traffic is not for total noobs and he should get as much saddle time as he can. Give me a shout when he feels ready to do the first course, will then organise.

No it doesn't cost anything... or rather, it depends on how much coffee he drinks  :D The training isn't on a set schedule, when we see there is a bit of interest, then we organise the training. I'd rather he goes for beginner training at an academy, then come to the Noob Commuter course and...

https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=64036.0 This was to get noob commuters to be more skilled in traffic. The training was well attended, with five riders of varying riding skills. A comment was made that rush hour traffic training would come in handy and training is the result of that...

As a result of the success of Saturday's Noob Commuters run and a suggestion that rush hour training will be appreciated, I will do one rush hour run per week (depending on interest shown). The first one will be this Friday the 11th from Mc Donalds Gateway centre, Pretorius / Schoeman street -...

The other day I was sitting in traffic on my Spyder (ya ya, bring it on!  >:D ) which gave me the perfect opportunity to observe the other bikers. Coming up past Rivonia, the right hand lane narrowed and had the plastic chevrons placed in the usual places, but just before the bend onto the N3...

If anybody decides to attend at the last minute, my number is oh seven too, nine seven too, three six ate nine. I might be onna bark, so leave a message or an SMS. Meet at Mugg & Bean, Carlswald Lifestyle Centre, Midrand at 8:00 for 1.5 hours of theory then we hit the road!

I've mentioned Think Bike's schools programme, but we'd like to roll this programme out to corporates. The idea remains the same, in that we need to be "invited" to the company - we can't just pitch up like a samosa seller  :laughing9: If you'd like us to come to your company to do a...

On that note, we need to be "invited" to schools to give our talk to parents and the kids. If you can organise such an invite, please give me a shout. We ideally would like to talk to the parents to tell them about buying their kids proper gear, not to scare them away from biking. We have a...

So, pooksy pie noenoes angel cake, when am I going to see you again, mmmm? We need to discuss your comment  :whip2:

Thanks guys! Nice to be here and I see a lot of ... uhm .... "old" faces (OK, I'll run and hide now)  :imaposer:

Well, if we can save only ONE life, then it was worth the effort!
