1 min. with a Superhero: Geoff Brink, Unicycle-riding through South Africa
Today we’re chatting with Geoff Brink, who happens to be riding from Durban to Cape Town on a unicycle for something called the “Heart & Sole” tour.

Or even one of those unlicenced Toyota Cressida ‘taxis’ flying around Hout Bay – sort of like the one that crashed into the [...]

I recently read an article somewhere (I think it was in a dentist’s office) with an interview with some odd-looking health nut called Helgo Schomer. He’s a behavioural specialist and, despite looking a little crazy, seems like a switched on dude. He [...]
