    Jaysus cycling!

    yeah. I'd do one more, I'd pretend to be a bit shit. If there was someone getting angsty and crawling around my ass, I'd throw fake wobbles in. Do little unpredictable looking things, which look jerky, but I'm really only moving the bike around underneath me. It was to get an oil check on...

    Jaysus cycling!

    Let's say i had a fixer, and I commuted to work on that. But let's say I was crying pretty much all of the time, like really sobbing, loudly, and blowing snot bubbles. Would that still make me cool? Or would it all just balance out to normal?

    Jaysus cycling!

    course yeah, that's been a well known... bug? flaw! for ages. Even I know about that one. Oh wow, you call them? > International customers can call +31 792 077 017 between the hours of 9am and 9pm CET Monday to Friday, and from 9am to 5pm CET on Saturdays. I'm not sure if I'm bothered...

    Jaysus cycling!

    was he the lad that was talking about brambles being carnivorous plants? I think he was saying that they have hooked thorns that seem to be designed to entangle sheep, which die and rot into the soil, providing nutrients to the plant. I think it was him, he's interesting.

    Jaysus cycling!

    thing is, if you're waiting for a bus it might lob any amount of time onto the front of the journey. Bikes, and walking I suppose, will be consistent. I'd prefer something consistent over something with high variability (like a car in traffic I'd guess). Like, I'd probably prefer to walk...

    Jaysus cycling!

    Yeah, that lateral movement is a thing that makes you pop out from the background. I'm not sure everyone realises how handy this trick is. I'd do a sideways twitch thing too, you'd just move your weight to one side and your bike to the other, and kind of flick the bike underneath you. You can do...

    Jaysus cycling!

    It's funny how difficult it is to find lids that fit. We got given lids at one point, and I couldn't wear them. I didn't have a concept of a well fitted bicycle helmet for years. I picked up the first random motorbike lid because I thought it looked nice, tried it on and it fit perfectly. So I...

    Jaysus cycling!

    Yeah. It's bad. The usual story seems applicable, if you want to kill someone: drive a car into them. If you want to kill someone, and claim for the damage done to your car, drive a car into them when they're riding a bike. It is heartbreaking. I'd lay money the driver was looking at their phone.

    Jaysus cycling!

    bit bruised from where you milled into that level crossing I expect.

    Jaysus cycling!

    He told me he'd already photoshopped off the stabilizers, and he didn't want to over do it.

    Jaysus cycling!

    You're wrong, @Deadmanposting , and you need to acknowledge that, and aplogise for being wrong. I'd be happiest if you printed up hard copies of something formal, and forwarded them on to the affected parties, including Pete so he can put them on file. We would hope that this could be...

    Jaysus cycling!

    I use them if I'm riding outside of the village. I mean, look, I'm shit on the bike, and I'd have no hope of doing a tri. It's not about performance or anything like that, it's about how it feels. Your foot is just there, in the right place, it's comfortable, it makes riding the bike easier. It...

    Jaysus cycling!

    Damn. Very good @Deadmanposting Seriously though... clips like, what's the deal? It's one less thing to worry about. Your feet are just taken care of. It feels nice. Maybe it's one of those things you get used to when you're young, but clipping in feels like you're properly connected to the...

    Jaysus cycling!

    Dunno exactly. There was one or two. I remember Joe explaining why he probably should have won one anyway. Old bastards ruining it for everyone. Has Dave Peelo stopped riding the Ras yet? Showing up on his mobility scooter in his slippers, hobbling over to the bike, and dropping everyone...

    Jaysus cycling!

    Right. Nairo Quintana effect sort of thing. The thing was it was more than just the fitness, the pair of them were stupidly good bike handlers. And Joe was technically even better than Robin it seemed, just not as fit. Joe showed me some class of titanium joint that he got as a result of a...

    Jaysus cycling!

    yup. There may or may not be gravel too. We'd be up there all the time, so we'd know on the whole. But, fuck me. Those rules... the likes of Joe McCaul and Robin Seymore would breeze through. Bike handling bastards.
  18. flashback

    Jaysus cycling!

    yeah, it was pretty much the rule you had to. The only hard part was doing disciplined pacing until you were past Glencree. Then you were allowed go for it. There were all kinds of rules for the roads around there. It was strictly forbidden to touch the brakes coming through this bridge for...

    Jaysus cycling!

    That's right. I'd have lived by you at one point then. I'm looking at the area on Google Maps around Ballyogan, I'm not even recognizing it. That's mad. Killgobbin road is still the same though thankfully. OK. I see they put up a sign saying Private Lane. They'd be giving me shit for walking...

    Jaysus cycling!

    to be fair I had the head down and sprinted by that part. Heh. Where are you living? I used to be scoping out ruins to buy. I'd a lovely ruin out past Kilternan at one point. Then I went and spoiled it all with that whole going to college craic. Downhill from there!
