Dear Mike the Mechanic,
I was driving to work the other day and my steering felt vague can you give me some ideas on what may cause this...

 

[dyladams]

Ah.... A little bit of ingenuity goes a long way.

I think they are a "commercial" bicycles.
The curved front fork is very comon here in China.
Lets more weight carried.
Some of the bikes here look to be 50 years old.

I'm black, British and I love Southern Africa. It pains me to see Africa portrayed like this but until Africans get their act together and stop accepting the white man's charity then I suppose the joke is going to be on them (and me) for a very long time.

When I first lived in SA, I lived in a mixed community in Yeoville, Jo-Burg. It was great. All human life lived happily side by side in Yeoville. Then the Nigerians came and in the blink of an eye, the neighbourhood that I loved was reduced to a bombsite. There are alot of good, kind, intelligent and generous people in Africa who I'm afraid to say are surrounded on all sides by alot more stupid and corrupt ones and I can't see anything changing anytime soon....Shame!

Beautiful picture of Cape Town, but what's that in the centre that looks like a giant toilet seat
