…BACK TO THE BADLANDS People invite you for a group ride, and then they don’t show up,what do you do? Well, despite struggling to sleep, I stepped out of my comfort zone, picked a well-serviced bike with fully functioning brakes, and set out to relieve stress,

sweat out the salt, and have some therapeutic meditation, just me and the bike. Yes, it was a war: Bike vs. Gravity. The scorching sun and crosswinds only made it tougher. Then I bonked in the middle of nowhere, battling hunger with nowhere to find food And to make matters worse

the double Chairman/Lady climb tortured me, tempting me to get off and push. I kept telling myself that 5 km/h wasn’t so bad as long as it meant covering the 10 km to Kisamis Shopping Centre. Magadi was suffer-fest endurance ride. So, can the deaf survive deafness?

Watu wa Thika Rd... BTW… what makes you live along Thika Road? Because at this point I’m convinced y’all are on some government payroll for traffic endurance. Every morning ni survival test, every evening ni character development… lakini bado hamhami Respect to you soldiers of Thika Road

@Josh001J Today it’s Range Rover convoys… tomorrow you’re calculating matatu fare. Life has no permanent VIP section

I know a guy who used to roll around in a Range and a Harrier as his official cars. A Crown was just the chase car, with about five boys always around him. In one sitting he could easily spend around 50k, and a weekend budget ilikuwa kama 500k. Saa hii, even fare ya matatu is a struggle. Instead of Red or Black Label, siku hizi ye hukunywa keg. Life is unpredictable. Especially when you misuse money or start looking down on people just because they don’t have what you have.

There’s a guy somewhere in Nairobi who decided to prove love the modern way… not with flowers, not with chocolates… but with a brand new car. My brother went to the showroom, signed papers with the confidence of a man who believes love is forever, took the keys, wrapped them in romance, and surprised his girlfriend. “Baby, this is for you… so you can move around comfortably.” The girl almost fainted. Tears, hugs, the whole Netflix episode. But because love these days requires “trust but verify,” the guy had quietly installed a tracker. Not because he didn’t trust her… but you know Nairobi. Even cows here have trackers. Day one: smooth. Day two: peaceful. Then one afternoon the tracker started moving in very… enthusiastic directions. The car stopped somewhere quiet.The engine remained on.But the car started doing those small left-right movements that mechanics cannot explain.Curious, the guy checked the tracker more closely. That’s when he discovered his girlfriend had gone to pick her Kaben 10 for a “test drive.” Ladies and gentlemen… the test drive was very comprehensive. Inside the same car my brother had bought to prove love, Kaben 10 was busy chewing life properly like sugarcane in Mumias. Suspension working.Shock absorbers active. Seats experiencing pressure they were not designed for. Meanwhile the owner of the car is at home watching the tracker like a man watching a horror movie he cannot pause. Sometimes you buy a car to prove love… and the only thing proven is that the vehicle has excellent performance under pressure. But one thing Nairobi men have learned the hard way: Before you buy a car for someone, first confirm whether you’re the driver… or just the sponsor of the fuel. Anyway… if you want a car without the relationship drama, we’ve got you covered. Hire a sleek car and create your own memories (preferably ones that won’t traumatize the owner).

If a client calls me “mamaa” early in the morning with that respectful bass voice, negotiations are over. Someone just called to narrate his whole road trip story… “Mamaa the trip was amazing..., I’ll return the car tomorrow.” Next thing I know I’ve added 2 extra days for free. This Nairobi cold is making me soft. Business decisions are now emotional decisions. Anyway many clean cars are available for hire… but please avoid calling me early morning with bass voices saying “mamaa…” Mayoo I might give out the whole fleet for free 😭

Men are very truthful people. Very honest people. Sometimes too honest. Yesterday I was boarding a friend’s car. You know those friends with those tall cars with a stepper because the car itself is almost upstairs. Because of my height, kawaida I must use the stepper. So I step on it confidently… then suddenly we hear a loud sound. “KOKOKO!” The kind of sound that makes everyone freeze kidogo. My friend immediately goes, “Eeeh! Usiue gari bana!” 😭 Then he starts laughing. And that man did not stop. Now every step I took he was giving commentary like a football match. “Pole pole… pole pole… hiyo stepper ni ya gari si ya construction site.” Then adds, “Wewe ni kama nitakufungia hapo nyuma kama tank.” From there the jokes never ended. Every bump on the road he’s like, “Umeskia hiyo suspension ikilia?” “Na hii mafuta sasa itakunywa kama V8.” Let me tell you… that was my wake-up call. By 5am today I was already cycling like someone who has been threatened by destiny. Because this life of sitting in the office replying “Well noted.” “PFA.” “Noted with thanks.” the whole week… si mchezo. If I continue like this I might start competing with those short roto tanks you see on construction sites. Anyway… if like me you need mobility as we work on our fitness journey Car hire, bikes, and bike racks are always available. We’ll sort you out in minutes. 📞 0723 630 231 | 0793 373 705 🌐 gowheels.co.ke

For example on ngong rd. The vibanda have reduced a three lane road to only one lane. The risks that are here are just immense. Accidents happen here all the time. People die here a lot Should we not protect human life? Ama vibanda are more important?
Eng. Karis | MSC | 🇰🇪@Briankariu

Let me play devil's advocate. Vibanda zibomolewe zote. They are an eyesore, are built on pedestrian walkways and sometimes even on the actual road. They are a "shortcut" for people unwilling to pay shop rent and trade licenses.

I recently visited Doctors of Hearing for my audiogram test, and I was thoroughly impressed. From the reception staff to the audiologists, everyone was at their absolute best professional, warm, and attentive. The service was exceptional, and the entire experience felt seamless
