    Jaysus cycling!

    Like, the one on the other side is just as bad, it’s the old ‘you’re road traffic until you aren’t’ thing of stopping at every side road to give motor vehicles right of way. Neanderthal thinking.

    That’s not a cycle lane, it’s a “we painted a line on the footpath so will youse shut up already” lane. Safer to ride in the bus lane, despite the bus drivers who can’t get their heads around that one.

    The estates might have accounted for it, but I doubt the Celtic Tiger apartments on the Carpenterstown side did.

    Years ago there was a public consultation on building a new road bridge to circumvent that, similar to what they did for the Ratoath Road. But I don’t see where they would find the space for it without CPOs and people losing their homes.

    I used to live right there. The barriers don’t come down that fast; you’d need to be completely ignorant of your surroundings to mess that up.

    Ugh, sorry for replying so late, I didn’t get a notification! I’m not sure about Cycle to Work, my company does offer it but I’m also WFH so I wouldn’t be using it for commuting, but I can always ask for the details. I don’t mind lugging it to Dublin for servicing, I was just wondering what the...

    Right, so. I thought this was the best place to come since youse know your stuff. I’m looking at getting an e-bike (not till spring, since I’ve just calculated an eye-watering tax bill). The RadRunner 2 fits my bill for features and price; I’d be using it for lugging the shopping home from...

    I’ve only ever gone that fast when freewheeling down that hill next to the Magazine Fort. It’s not my bag, if I’m honest.

    That reminds me, Aldi are doing cycling stuff at the moment, I should pop up there now when I'm finished with work.

    I don't have one of them fancy pumps. I just give the tyres a squeeze and when they feel right I go with it. Should I have one of them fancy pumps?

    Ha, it's changing the bloody tube that's the worry. I should really practice on this old bike I still haven't got rid of on Adverts.

    I say 'hopefully' as yer man said he was ordering them in, so I'm expecting a call. That was when I took it to the shop after my gears disintegrated a fortnight ago at Carrickdale - the bearings started dropping out of the rear cassette and the whole thing began wobbling on the axle and grinding...

    I'm hopefully getting new tyres for my very low budget Halfords bike from my local shop. Something more puncture resistant so I feel confident going for a longer ride, can't be arsed with going fast. I'd like to finally cycle to Dundalk to Newry in the coming weeks.
