TREAD Ladies Trail & Tea

TREAD Ladies Trail and Tea, presented by MiWayMTB, is an initiative aimed at making mountain biking more accessible to women! It’s an opportunity for women to ride without any ‘barriers’ and will cater for all levels of rider, from beginner to more serious.

“Unlike most men, who grew up riding bicycles, most women didn’t and lack the confidence to just get on a mountain bike and ride. Our Ladies Trail & Tea events are designed to remove any intimidation elements and make mountain biking fun for all women,” said Joanne Badenhorst, publisher of TREAD Magazine and founder of the Ladies Trail & Tea initiative.

Riders are arranged into groups according to skill and/or fitness levels and guided appropriately by experienced female riders. “As the name suggests, we always follow the ride, which is between 90 minutes and two hours in duration, with a social gathering that includes eats, drinks and a gift. Most women enjoy the social side of mountain biking and we ensure that is firmly in place at all our Trail & Tea events,” said Badenhorst.

DNA by DataDot: Bicycle I.D. kit

A trusted security system gets involved in bicycle safety!

DataDot Technology is already trusted by car manufacturers and fit 100% of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Nissan, Suzuki, Renault, Jaguar, Land-Rover and Toyota vehicles in South Africa with their advanced Microdot security system. DataDot has decreased car theft by a massive 50%.

Finally! This technology is now available for your bicycle, and is catching on quick in MTB circles!

How does it work?

Each DataDot Bicycle kit contains 1000 Microdots. Each is laser-etched with a unique 10 digit PIN which is registered to your name. The kit also contains a specialised adhesive which has UV properties. The Microdots are applied using the adhesive in an easy DIY process, in the comfort of your own home!

Your registration information is stored on the DataDot Database which 10 000 trained Police officers across the country have direct access to. These police officers are of detective level and have recieved special training from DataDot Technology!

Benefits:

• Peace-of-mind knowing that after a theft, your bike is less likely to be sold or used for parts
• Peace-of-mind knowing that you can unequivically prove ownership of your bike and its parts
• Unlike a bike’s serial number which can be tampered with, the DataDot Technology’s 1000 Microdots are unseen to the visible eye and spread all over your bike, making it difficult to remove
• The 1000 microdots ensure that multiple parts of your bicycle are identifiable and registered to you

Stats from vehicle theft investigations show that organised crime syndicates quickly become aware of manufacturers who use DataDot Technology, which results in those car types being less desirable to steal. DataDot Technology is hoping that bicycle manufacturers catch on and begin using DataDot Technology as standard practice at factory-level.

MiWay is giving away 100 FREE DataDot bicycles Kits to the first 100 registrants at the MiWay Big5 MTB series Kwambo Lion race this Sunday in KZN. Valued at R143 each! Click here for more info on this race!

For more information, please email mtb@miway.co.za.
