Been going out most days for 20K spins on the bike recently. It started as loops within the 2Km radius and then after a while I decided I wanted to see the sea and cycled to Blackrock. It was glorious. Along with a MUBI subscription it's one of the things that's been keeping me sane for the last...

There's a process that a road / estate can go through to opt to go pay and display. If it happens then you get parking permits for visitors and don't pay yourself. But... You potentially end up with way less parking because it's all designated parking spaces rather than a free for all. We live...

It's true that lots of cycle lanes in Dublin are really badly designed, stop abruptly and so on, but I think, most of the time, the only scenario in which they are more potentially dangerous than cycling on the road is if you expect to be able to do 35Kmph on them and not have to stop. Ever...

What does shoaling mean?

This shit drives me bonkers whether I'm on a bike or in the car. Bike lane along the canal (Parnell Road) is just the worst for this. The Lycra -clad fucks who career through busy parts of the city at rush hour as if they are doing a stage of the Tour De France....

It's 5 years since my last bike in the Bike To Work Scheme so I can go again. Excited about getting a new bike. Was going to go for another Cube hybrid .... but a very fast, sleek one. Then saw these in a bike shop today: VECTOR 10 19 Didn't know anything about the brand but just looked them...

Being no longer responsible for getting anyone to school in the mornings I'm freed up to cycle into work. 12.5K each way. 45 or so minutes at a leisurely pace. A big chunk of it through Phoenix Park. I now arrive in work in a good mood as opposed to a foul one. I got pissed on coming home today...

Yeah I know. I rented one in Canada and it was deadly.

My 5 years on the Bike 2 Work is up in a few months so I'll get a new bike. Have ridden the shit out of my hybrid but feeling I should get a proper road bike next too. Then I saw this supersexy and superlight Boarman hybrid in a shop the other day and now I'm torn.

Second cycle to work of the year yesterday. 28k round trip. Through phoenix Park. Lovely. Gotta do this more often.

Back on the bike after not being able to cycle for a bit due to a knee problem. It's glorious.

But it is surely right up there in the top ten things to do to prevent yourself getting a head injury if you fall off your bike.

Big sale on clycling gear in Halfords at the minute. Was supposed to finish yesterday but seems to be still going according to their website. I got one of those super-fancy reflective jackets for 35 quid. I also managed to score two sets of panniers for 20 quid (due to a cockup).

It's deadly. I love the internal hub gears. Not what you want if you are riding up and down mountains but for mostly cycling around the city they are great. I was riding a battered old Raleigh for years prior to this. It's like buying a Porsche after driving a Ford Fiesta.

Am now the proud owner of one of these .... CUBE Hyde Pro men I love it. Just did 20+ km on it. I feel like Stephen Roche or something now.
