Joubertina is indeed out there a ways, isnt it? I see it is the "tourism" center for the region.

It is quite comfortable, no chaffing. Also it was made from what I could get in our remote village and it was cheap, very important to me!

I'm afraid that I'm a little too far from any fishing spots -esp given traffic in my neck of the woods.  

It would be a great ga$ saver & excellent exercise.

Nice improv on the rod holder though.

That's a heck of an interesting ride. Must be chaffing your inner left thigh quite a bit. Why not invest in a pack rack in the back for $15, and angle mount it toward the rear, providing upwards rod and cycling stability? I feel as if you're trying to make a statement of, "Muahaahahah..RAMMING SPEED!!"

I rode a bike or walked many miles to fish and hunt when I was a kid.

I like the rod tube, Mathew. Good improv there.

Until two years ago, I rode my road bike to work and back, about 20 miles round trip. If it was ugly weather or I had some appointment, I would leave the bike at home. But most weeks I managed 2-3 commutes. Considering I was in my mid fifties at the time, I saw it as something of an accomplishment.

Now that Ive moved 26 miles from work a fifty mile commute is a bit of a stretch! But yeah, a bike makes a great fishing vehicle.
