    Jaysus cycling!

    there's a place out in Ballymun called... ehh, I dunno, "re-discovery" or something. Basically cycle to Ballymun, and aim for the chimney. There's a bike place in there, they're great. They might have an old mech hanging around. Maybe worth a phone call?

    yeah, then your form is probably pretty alright already. I'd not worry about form until you get specific pain, numb feet, sore back, knees, or whatever.

    Jaysus cycling!

    I think if you want to get good pedaling form a fixed gear is probably going to help the most? Like, the clipless is really just going to get your foot in the right place so you can forget about it from that point. It might tend to allow you to relax your ankle, which maybe can improve form a...

    Di2 is shimano's electronic shifting. I've never used it properly, but I think it's meant to be pretty solid. I like BMC stuff, but I'd go for Giant in the above list. They actually build their own frames, in house. As well as build frames for lots of other manufacturers. I like tubeless stuff...

    I saw a thing in the garden

    yeah, I'd say it is. I think the no-mow May thing was a better than nothing sort of idea.

    ah, it probably wasn't very healthy. But it was more the swift addition of 10 kilos giving a very different outlook on cycling up hills. I'd be less feather like now. But much warmer in the sea it turns out.

    Are they along the Tolka yeah? I was asking people if there were any living along there only a week or two ago. OK, cool. I've still never seen one of these lads.

    I saw a thing in the garden

    Ah. Oh yeah, I know that spot. I had an apartment by Erztibet Hid. Or something like that. There was a place by me at one point that had birds of prey in cages, and I asked a couple of questions to learn they had been all injured and unable to get rehabbed enough to be released. Seemingly (in...

    I saw a thing in the garden

    Normally I like to eat my eggs as partially developed embryos, like those Balut eggs.

    Yeah, it's a bit like that alright. I'd have thought it's probably too cold for Mothras out on the reclaimed land.

    I saw a thing in the garden

    Oh nice. Was this out in Donegal or Kerry or something? I've never seen one. I've seen Sea Eagles, and Andean Condors. Condors don't really even look like birds, they look more like small planes piloted by little fellas. They'd sort of swivel their heads around and look at you, but the rest of...

    Bored In Work 1187

    I'm not sure how he's defining bosses, but if you took the MBAs out of my place I'm not sure that would be a bad thing. It might be the Mondragon Corporation - Wikipedia but there's places that rotate rank and file workers through management positions on a 18 month cycle or something. Meaning...

    haha. Well, it's probably better than The Reclaimed Land. I've no idea where I got that from.
