OK, I was thinking of posting info on legendary cyclists and where, what and how. I cycled the Berg & Bush in October and cycled up Spionkop (if you dont know, one of the biggest battles of the Boer war was gooied there!) We received a brief history lesson from local historian Raymond Heron. When I got back i found this, a man named Danie Theron, I think he must surely qualify as the first mountain biker in History The Brittish Hated him and he operated in and out of situations on a dikwiel. he was so successful that he was appointed his own Corps that travelled on bicycles named the Widerjiders Check more here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Theron and to see a cool talk of Raymond Heron on Spionkop https://youtube/watch?v=IPkqqSxBTeo&list=PLUa5lI__Jl5ymkc1FlHe_TFqV1TyNX8K5
