    In that case, I'd go for BMC. Always loved their bikes.

    Jaysus cycling!

    that's a shit situation. I haven't cycled through traffic since before covid but there was so much shit happening every week that rattled my confidence, and I was sure something was going to happen me sooner or later. During covid I went into the office the odd day, and it was great because of...

    this. Its a while since I cycled in traffic but I did it for the guts of 30 years. If the choice it to give the car the opportunity to overtake you, but put yourself in danger by doing so, or blocking them and risk pissing them off, its a bit of a no-brainer decision. Usually theres a bunch of...

    you were 100% in the right @JohnnyRaz. He was a cunt, that was the only issue.

    they have a scheme like that here in Kilkenny, run by Bolt. It works very well, probably because you either live in town or you live in the countryside, and everyone in town can use them. The kids here don't have the same cut of a scrote about them that they had in Dublin, so I haven't seen...

    agree with all of this. Safety doesn't necessarily involve complying with the law, and vice versa. There were certain lights I would always break because it was safer to do so than wait for the lights to turn green. You also develop an instinct as regards what a motorist is going to do. Its a...

    definitely I know a lad who was in a car crash and his not wearing a seatbelt saved his life as he was thrown from the car before it rolled several times. Definitely not any kind of endorsement for not wearing a seatbelt.

    I definitely experienced the irrational hatred of cyclists. I got chased twice by motorists who, I presume, wanted to kill me. I think it died off a bit when covid hit and traffic jams stopped being a thing. But they are becoming a thing again, so I'm sure it'll be as-you-were, before long

    Jaysus cycling!

    in my experience as a cyclist, not once has anyone ever said to me that they hope that I wear a helmet. I'm sure many people hope I wear one for my own safety, but the thoughts of not wearing as some kind of act of defiance because some car prick makes some snide comment, seems strange...

    Jaysus cycling!

    same, but in my case it saved me from serious head injuries (or worse). I hit my head so hard I couldn't see afterwards. I know you're a mod over on boards. I haven't been on the cycling page for years (there really were a lot of argumentative saps over there) but I never understood those who...
