    I thought this very thing today. The rental bikes are taking up bike racks. That said, this is an extremely bike unfriendly town and the racks are hardly used.

    New bike rental thing launched in Navan last week. People are having a hard time getting their heads around it. It's a scheme where you just leave the bike. Locals are like "you should be made put it back at a station!!" Yea like I'm going to cycle home but before I enter the house I just have...

    I don't have an issue with the destruction in order to build the cycle lanes. Just that they'll be unusable when finished. Still, if it cuts down on the amount of GROWN MEN ON MOUNTAIN BIKES ON THE FOOTPATH I'll be happy.

    They're currently retrofitting cycle lanes to roads in Navan. Tearing down walls, chopping trees etc.

    Also I wasn't in me gear so I attempted a few cycle paths in the town. Holy fuck total rubbish, starting and stopping in random places. No way to get on or off them with out getting off and getting up or down a huge kerb.

    Went for a spin last night. Forgot to hit "start" on strava. I mean, WHAT'S THE POINT?

    Agreed that a helmet won't do you much good in a fatal accident but I've seen people just come off the bike, when there are no cars around, and if it wasn't for the helmet they'd be quite badly injured. You can slip on gravel etc..

    First cycle of the year yesterday. 17K, 22kmh average. Happy enough with that. One of my legs had had enough by the end of it though.

    We should set up a thumped "club" on strava so we can all give each other kudos.

    There is a great big wide cycle lane on my way to work but I don't use it. At the end there is no way off of it on to the road at the T junction at the end so you have to bunny hop on to the road, and the path is really high.

    Wanted to cycle to work the other day but got about 5 metres before the gear gubbins got stuck in the spokes of the back wheel. At the same time as the coffee cup in my back pack leaked and I got hot coffee all down my back. I tried to fix the gears but the yoke snapped off. It is a Halfords...

    Did this. It was deadly. We went one way on Monday and the other way on Tuesday. It's actually well doable in both directions in one day. We were on rented hybrid bikes, pretty heavy compared to the road bike. It's on though because you can't go too fast on the greenway. Loved it.

    Going straight to Waterford after the Neil Young gig in Kilkenny to do the Greenway the next day. Not really a road bike thing but it'll be fun.

    Had a total 'mare on Friday. Went from Navan to the Battle Of The Boyne, then heading back to Slane we turned off for Dowth. Puncture. No spare tube. Bollox. Ended up walking with the bike as far as the N51 where some dude gave me a lift to Slane (good job too as I'd have been killed on that...
