Our Most Blog Posts in 1 week: 35 posts in 3 days
Wow. That is quite something. Touching on a dozen blog posts per day for three consecutive days. How many words are that in total? Let’s have a look. Rounded numbers as always. We don’t mess around. Because done is better than perfect. And it messes around with our time to deliver boxed bicycles all across South Africa. Plus it did create another record for bicycle couriers. Here are the stats of our last few posts:
- Longest post 1650 words
- Shortest post 350 words
- Average post 650 words
- Total 22000 (!) words
*How long will it take you to write 22000 words? About 10 hours at almost 40wpm words per minute typing speed. But that is just typing. These are complete blog posts. With editing. And keywords. And meta descriptions. Plus, images. With captions. So much more goes into it than just rambling out words on the keyboard. Even though this is what it feels like. Which means to total can easily go up to 70 hours. But I certainly don’t have 70 hours in a week to stab away at the keyboard. Which is why all of this needed to happen in 3 short days. In-between doing other things. Many other things. Yet a record for bicycle couriers.
So here below are a quick review of the last few of these almost 3 dozen posts. Enjoy!
Spend more time in the dark
CYCLING AT NIGHT: Spend more time in the dark shows what and how and why you should cycle at night. Or not. I do. And I love it. Which is why I want to share it with the world. and we will be cycling at night again starting tomorrow evening when we go through the night from Paarl to Sutherland. Then up to BFN for the MUNGA for Chris.
Sitting with a semi
SEMI-AUTOMATIC boxed bicycle deliveries around the country. This is the type of thing I think about while in the shower. Or driving. Or staring into the abyss. A quick explanation of why we are a hybrid boxed bicycle courier company ito admin. We do some things manually. That is why we don’t lose the human touch. And don’t leave everything to the machines. Because some industries are best when personalized. Just like what we do.
FOXy lady
HOW-TO: remove the front wheel from a stripped skewer FOX fork. Another real-life example of the things boxed bicycle courier companies deal with on a daily basis. Here we have a downhill bike. That was bought by someone in JHB. We collected from the seller in CPT. And while boxing found the front fork axle skewer to be completely stripped. Here is the solution to a very common problem on these types of bicycles. Oh and it arrived sans saddle and chain.
Converters
CASH CONVERTERS: Buy or Sell a used bicycle locally. More real-life examples for a day in the life of a bicycle courier. Some buys a bicycle online. From a Cash Converters. In Nelspruit. And then wants to bike transported to his or her door. But the shop can’t box. Enter #bicyclecouriers to the rescue. And Specialized NLP is in the same complex, just around the corner, 140 meters down the road. Magic.
Crusaders
CASH CRUSADERS: Buy or Sell a used bicycle in South Africa. You cannot only refer to the 100 odd branches of Cash Converters above. And then completely ignore the much bigger almost 260+ branches of Cash Crusaders. And yes. The same applies. You can buy a used bicycle from them. Either in store or online. And the bicycle couriers can collect said bike once boxed by the shop and deliver it to your door.
EPIC dates
EPIC SERIES: dates for 2026 stage race calendar. When browsing through social media and then fiding a quick recap of the dates for the EPIC series next year. so you can become an EPIC legend. Or not. Or just participate in the local events. Which is the EPIC. And the W2W. while the rest are all offshore. Think CHF, SWISS, Andorra, Croatia, islands and more. Now you can see each and every one of the EPIC series events and their respective dates. So we can send your bicycle there!
PEAKy season
GET READY: Peak Season Preparations for Bicycle Couriers. This was quite easy. We have many service providers. So get lots of stats and info. And are very hands on with what is happening in the world of courier companies. For bicycles and others. all around the country. So here was a quick reminder of the pending holiday season and the bike migration that happens soon. Let’s send your e-bike down to the coast as well.
So many posts
BC UPDATE: top two dozen posts since the last update! No less than nine more updates that came in quick succession. A lot happens in the very short space of time. especially when you love bicycles, attend races, and are actively involved in the industry. We are also still waiting for a post of the person who won the SA Dream bike of the year competition. After bicycle couriers delivered that bicycle as well.
Jy wil MOSS
BC UPDATE: ‘A rolling bicycle courier gathers no moss’ – another nine posts. And it is awesome to see how quickly they are indexed by the search engines. Like google. Which is what I use. To google something like the DOUBLE MUNGA and it jumps up as the top result from SEO. Just a few hours/days after being created and posted online on #bicyclecouriers website. Plus we have already received compliments from users who spotted the posts. And had their bikes and charity kit delivered by us.
The GRAND
GRAND TOURS projects for cycling around the world. Not the grand in Rivonia Road in Sandton. At least not this time. here we only look at cycle tours. From across the globe. And it sparked my interest because we organize our very own #bolandcycletour. Which is a 1500km road bike cycling spectacular through the Best of the Boland in mid-February 2026. Finishing with the CTCT. Brilliant. Just like the record for bicycle couriers. But back to the offshore cycle tours for now. Have a look at the following. And let us send your bicycle there.
- TDF: Move my bicycle to the FRENCH grand tours projects
- Giro: Move my bicycle to the ITALIAN grand tours projects
- Vuelta: Move my bicycle to the SPANISH grand tours projects
- CHF: Move my bicycle to the SWISS grand tours projects
- EURO: Move my bicycle to the EUROPEAN grand tours projects
