It’s so cool that Bicycling Magazine has a fashion/style editor, called “STYLEMAN.” It’s even better that a recent issue rasies the question we brought up with regards to cyclists wearing helmets whilst dining in restaurants/cafes and eateries around Cape Town. You’ll find STYLEMAN’S reply might hamper his chances of working for Vogue. www.bicycling.co.za […]

I saw similar videos to this about a year ago and was so blown away that I lost the ability to type. It seems there has been a new surge of excitement and I have received the following video a number of times in my inbox. It’s pretty crazy stuff these guys do. They wear […]
I tell you, it’s been QUITE a weekend in Hermanus. When I stopped to do some writing at the end of it all I didn’t think I had anything to write about. But, if you think about it, two people nearly drowning and being rescued by a Capetonian IS something we need to chat about! […]

Apparently Oyo restaurant at the V&A Waterfront are chasing cyclists away like “pests” and telling them that no more cyclists will be served. I swear. This is not the actual cyclist in question.

As the trend for zero tolerence when it comes to cyclist’s wearing their helmets in public grows, it is interesting to note that some establishments have now made it law. This, found on the menu at Pirates in Hout Bay. 2oceansvibe and Cape Town as a whole, applaud Pirates I must say, my […]

Just when we thought 2009 was going smoothly, this happens! The bizarre helmet religious war continues, as we take in images from this, an unprecedented attack at a Groot Constantia wine tasting. Readers are warned that the following image may cause vomiting. An incredibly thick-skinned cyclist parades indoors with his helmet on Now […]
It’s getting closer and closer (four more sleeps to be exact) to Cape Town’s most glamorous and exclusive social event – the 148th running of the Queen’s Plate! And what a brilliant date they have set! Not too close to New Year, but enough time to gather our senses, get some R&R, top up our […]

Given his history of banging their staff, it is kind of expected that Victoria Beckham pulled the plug on a planned hour long interview upon arrival in Milan this week. Especially after she did a spot of Googling with regards to the interviewer. These pictures were probably very similar to the pics she found. Ilaria […]
Fresh from not inviting me to his birthday party, Goldfish’s Dom sent this in, which earns him minimal points as he begins the mammoth climb back into the good books. You would have caught the various attacks along the Atlantic Seaboard, with regards to cyclists entering and dining in restaurants and eateries with their helmets […]
The madness continues, as normal people everywhere, from Camps Bay to Mouille Point, are subjected to these unprovoked attacks on the social norm and general etiquette. This image, sent in by Shads, tells a harrowing story of ignorance, bad upbringing and emboerrissment. Grown adults, dining in a public eatery WITH their helmets on. Now […]
I thought this would be a nice touch. Just a quick tour from the sky of the Green Point stadium. I just did it now for you. This morning. I just popped up and filmed it for you. Because I care. I’m lying, obviously. Someone else did it. Thanks for that, chum.. CLICK HERE […]
I remember a girl friend of 2oceansvibe being ever so slightly scorned at the emotional neglect dealt to her by 2oceansvibe’s “The Kitesurfer.” We had ploughed through a bottle of bubbly at Karma the one night and time came for me to exit. A tad tipsy, she said unto me (with her fingers snapping in […]

I attended the much anticipated Cape Town 10’s launch at The Grand, in Camps Bay on Thursday evening last week. It was everything I had dreamed of, and more. Especially when I saw Roxy Louw arrive with Hollywood superstar, Christopher Walken. “I got this watch..” Ok, it wasn’t Christopher Walken, it was actually ex-Springbok, Rob […]
Grant M, sent this pic in. Taken at Caprice on Saturday, citing the incident as “very emboerrissing.” Very toilet behaviour It’s not just emboerrissing, Grant, it’s downright rude. It is anti-social, ignorant behaviour by a handful of people who, as children, were never taught any manners. I would have got the wooden spoon […]
A few weeks ago we featured the mock Parks-Board Bokkie signs that some very funny individuals had professionally made and placed around Cape Town. Needless to say, they saw the mention on 2oceansvibe and emailed me today to tell me about their latest over-the-top statement. This time it’s an online game which let’s you control […]
I said his name in the headline as though you should know who he is. Don’t fret, neither do I. But I DID think you would enjoy the story you’re about to read and, in particular his photo and forearms. My goodness! This is also, I’m sure, quite a treat for the ex-pats over in […]
We recently covered a couple cases of various individuals wearing helmets in public (here and here). The phenomena and social inadequacy seems to have spread further – this time, air travel. Pete L’s mate sent him these pics he took somewhere in the East, boarding a Vietnam Airlines plane. Come now Absolutely no problem […]
Sunday brought the final day of the Movember initiative – which was celebrated with a day of bowls at the Fresnaye Bowling Club. A stunning day for it, what! But it wasn’t just a DAY at the bowling club, it was a chance to walk away with The Balls of Glory. The […]
Whilst Matthew Pearce and Kobus Wiese (with his incredibly strained voice and abysmal English) have succeeded in sidelining Hugh Bladen and have taken South African commentating to another level altogether. Exactly what level that is, is a discussion for another day. But, nonetheless, the subject of sports commentary is fresh in the air. There is […]
Pavlov’s dogs learnt faster than this. Nice helmet Your friend’s balls are also very impressive Our social etiquette teachings are clearly far from over, as the exact same two cyclists from the last improper cyclist behaviour article are spotted again at Giovanni’s – and again the one fellow doesn’t understand the no-helmet rule. […]
The guys that designed 2oceansvibe, HelloComputer, have just finished a new project for MTN, called the MTN Backyard Series. They’ve made an online game which is, honestly, as close as you can get to a proper game of garden cricket (or “stump” as it’s called in the Southern Suburbs) within the confines of your office. […]
