alwaysDo all of you wear helmets?
could be an insurance thing for group rides, if done under the auspices of a club?Like I don't give a fuck what people think mostly
But people will not shut the fuck up about helmets to me
And they are a requirement on group rides
Mostly care what the dateable women are thinking cos that affects me in a real way.
It's mostly the hassle of carrying the fucking things around. Like just one more thing to goddamn manage.
Anyways, no questions need answering here. Just me droning on.

group rides can be more mentally demanding (until you're used to them) too; you've to mentally map the other riders as well as the world around you.
I have this idea that it will make me a better cyclist over distancei've very rarely ridden with groups, the vast majority of my riding is solo. i know a few people like that; a chap i know who cycles the same roads as me, lives 500m away and we've never set out to cycle together; we've bumped into each other a couple of times out on the road though.
Fully loaded with what??

Update on this. That was my old backpack, the new one (same brand) doesn’t have it. Clearly I haven’t cycled much since getting it!If I’m only spinning down to the school or the Indian take away (which is mostly pedestrianised and separate cycle lanes) I don’t but otherwise I do.
My backpack has a little elastic bobbin thing that holds the helmet on the outside of the bag.
most cyclists i know are quite chilled. they're happy to see like minded people, safety in numbers and all that.I want to get some decent rides into my legs before even attempting one
This is just a bike shop ride, but cyclists can be judgey fucks. So I'll be hanging with the slow group til I suss out how the land lies.
good fuck, driving really *did* get worse in the eight month hiatus i had off the bike.
Joined them for a bit today, lovely lads- one of them was in Palestine two weeks agoLogin • Instagram

These lads are doing a Palestine charity cycle round the country. Been following them, seeing if I can join for a bit if I can
Absolutely.good fuck, driving really *did* get worse in the eight month hiatus i had off the bike.
going up through ballymun, approaching lights which went green, so i accelerated. but the guy in the white van to the right (i was in the bus lane, he was in the normal driving lane) decided 'actually, i want to go left at this junction' and put his indicator on at the very instant he gunned it and swung left. if i'd been two or three metres further up the lane, he'd have hit me.
then, on a winding countryish road, some cunt with an N plate who'd been stuck behind me less than five seconds, decided to overtake into a blind bend, just as a double decker bus appeared round the bend. i'd say he missed it by about a metre.
