Came off the bike on Sunday on my way home from the pub. No sympathy at home cuz of where I was coming from and I was pretty embarrassed I came off because I was well into tipsy. Cycled by the scene of the accident last night and noticed they've put three brand new, completely smooth, slippery...

Came off the bike for the first time in a couple years yesterday. Hit some oil on the turn from Pearse Street to Tara street. Once I lost the front wheel, I was never really going to recover. Managed to stay up long enough for all the cars around me to see what was going on and stop though...

I don’t think your man was bullying her. Her screaming that she is being threatened because she is a woman on her own is bullshit as is the entirety of her argument. That would make me see red, but he didn’t take the bait. I have fallen at this hurdle many times before and abandoned a...

I know the answer, but after your last post I am not telling

We are all paying for loads of stuff that we don't own. Debt, ministerial pensions, etc. The sooner all road users treat each other as equals the better.

The Dublin bikes stations don't seem to be getting much trade today.

This is true. I knew a cyclist who ran a red light and crashed into a car. As it was his fault, he had to pay for the damages. As he didn't have insurance for traffic accidents, he had to pay your man a grand. On the other points being made. I always assume that everybody is an absolute...

Fair point Ann. If I was breaking a light and a pedestrian gave me a slap, I’d call the Gards. I didn’t hit your man as much as I bumped him, much as you would if you tried to walk around someone and they stepped into your way. I made a mistake. It is not my job to teach anyone a lesson...

I have a quick question for my fellow cyclists and general road users here on thumped. In an effort to attain the moral high ground with regards to my cycling life. I have stopped breaking any lights, don’t mount the footpath and generally follow all of the rules of the road to a ‘t’. I have...

I didn't mean to imply that anything untowards transpired. The wife dropped it off in the boro and collected it there. Got a good deal on the repairs as well because they took a curiously long time. Oops, did it again.

That's the wife's bike Mullers is locking up in that video. Bought it off Transformation a few years back. It was in getting repaired at the time. Fairly surprised to see it all away across town from where it was being fixed. Class vidjo all the same

I think I may have finally turned the corner and am no longer the shouting, screaming mess of a poor advertisement for cyclists that I once was. I had an incident this morning which involved three things that should have sent me off the rails. I was in the bike lane minding my own business...

That illustrates my goal to a 't'. Now I feel even worse about my digression.

I fell at the first hurdle and got into a screaming match with someone in a car after stating on this very forum that I was going to change my ways. Your man actually refused to let me into the cycle lane that he was driving/waiting in and then honked at me once I managed to go around him and...

Is this a proper privately owned indoor, cctv'd car park that gangs of hoodies with a pair of bolt cutters could not possibly get into? If the state, i.e. Temple Bar Properties, is going to start charging us to lock our bikes, I will be deeply shocked and might just go on a homicidal rampage...

It would be if there wasn't an all out war for road space going on and people weren't such unbelievable fuckwits.

Just out of curiosity, are you still going to ride the fixie?

Did you pack it in Moose?

Yeah, I know you're right, but 5 years of being a courier makes it very hard to keep my mouth shut in these situations. At the very least I am going to try to stop looking like a total scumbag when dealing with thicks.

After another shouting match this morning on my way in, I have decided to change my tactics when dealing with the public. This morning's disagreement was over the fact that I had inched over the line in which cars are supposed to stop at a crosswalk- you know, that line about 10 feet short of...
