As my friend told me as I gasped up a hill: It never gets easier, you just get faster.

I’d still argue that you’re in a queue in that situation and the traffic behind just has to accept moving slower or waiting for the next turn of the lights. You’re not causing an obstruction, you are in a position to be seen and safe. As a cyclist, it’s what I’d do. As a driver, I’d prefer to...

I don’t really follow because when the light turns green, are you not going to move yourself? Or is it a filter light? Because if a car was stopped waiting for full green/correct arrow they would also be in the way?

You are traffic, you’re not causing an impediment by being at the front of the queue.

That makes me feel better about my one magazine indulgence (White Dwarf at 9.90 a pop).

The medical context doesn’t exclude the health benefits of cycling though. In fact, the general consensus would be that cycling is fucking great (a technical term). But in terms of landscapes, the reality is that cycling is largely done on roads shared with large, powerful machines which have a...

The “actually pedestrians should wear helmets based on the stats” argument is pretty ropey. Often it’s people reporting the numbers wrong - there are more head injuries in pedestrians than cyclists overall but only because there are more pedestrians. It starts swinging towards cyclists once you...

Yeah but it’s not a feeling like “vinyl has a warmth to the sound that’s not there on digital”. The bike fully becomes an extension of your body. The novelty of being the sandals guy at the triathlon is great and all but you’ll honestly enjoy the long cycles so much more if you switch over.

I’ve recently taken the clips off my bike because I’m just using it to go up and down to the supermarket or to the school, I don’t want to be walking on surfaces skidding about in the shoes. Otherwise, clips all the way - especially for that kind of distance. They never made me go fast but like...

Head back down Kilgobbin Road towards Dublin and we’re on the left.

I’m out between Stepaside and Sandyford. You’d have barely have warmed up by the time you got to me.

And you never once called in for tea?

That’s grand and all but do they do heated shoe covers?

As @magicbastarder says, it should be a more generalised tax incentive to get people cycling. Take the “work” branding off it as clearly people use their bikes for more than work.

While I get that is the rule, really it’s just a buy a bike scheme.

I imagine a cargo bike would allow a lot of people who drop kids to school in a car and then go to work to switch to a bike. I’d cycle to work more with a cargo bike even beyond the kids angle, you can actually bring stuff in and out on the bike. (Also, I didn’t use my regular cycle to work...

Correct

Add cycling to the cancelled thread.

It is not an area of Twitter I’ve come across. I’m not able to drive and have kids, that was my main interest.

I looked into an electric cargo bike a year or so ago. I keep thinking about it.
