I was nearly kilt on my bike yesterday when several gusts of wind nearly pushed me under an articulated lurry on the rock road. They need to at least paint a bike lane on that road quick.

I left it at home today, its far too windy.

i had a similar thing happen today on my motorbike. just as well i had clean undies on.

But are they still clean?

Even walking - hell, standing still - in this wind is dangerous

 

[avernus]

Fuck off cyclists. Nobody cares.

cyclists have feelings too, y'know. feelings of hate. take your hate feelings elsewhere, cyclists, dammit.

 

[Hector Grey]

i was blown into oncoming traffic today. it was rapid. and me brakes went crap cos of the wet. bring it on, i bellowed, bring it on you fucks.

us cyclists are mad. mad i tells ya.

 

[pad]

No way man. Bikes crave discipline. I taught mine good.

My brother used to cycle down the Templeogue Road with his eyes closed so he'd get to school 'faster'. True story.

you're kidding. that's insane.

still clean but if i had have been in an accident i wouldn't have to worry about going to the hospital

Here's one to put the cat amongst the pigeons. Why do cyclists think it's fine to cycle home pissed/stoned out of their box? Surely they are a danger to themselves and other people?

i've often wondered that. It is illegal as well.

yeh, i've done that before, woken up wondering how i got home.

it ain't clever. i've had to knock it on the head. i'd rather walk and live.

It's tremendous fun

What he said. I reckon a drunk in charge of a bicycle is way less dangerous than a drunk behind the wheel of a car.

 

[therealjohnny]

unless the drunk cyclist was to accidently veer into the path of an oncoming truck carrying nuclear waste, and the truck would crash and thered be nuclear waste all over the place, and other cars would crash into it and thered be mutants

 

[Stan Bowles]

Or the drunk cyclist veers into a law-abiding, sober, car drivers path. Or a pedestrian.

now lets not step into the realms of fantasy here, how likely is that?

 

[classic seanc]

Cyclists are saving the world from pollution.

 

[billygannon]

Cyclist meat tends to be too tough. It can be delicious in a broth or soup.
Here is a recipe:

1 cyclist
2 onions
4 carrots
4 leeks
2 tins of lentils

Beat cyclist with brick or anvil until sufficiently smug. Then fry in pan until protests. Then bring to the boil. Chop up vegtables and add to cyclist.
Stew in a large pot until cyclist meat is tender when poked. Stir occasionally.

Serves 5 door hatchback.

a drunken cyclist is probably more dangerous than a drunken pedestrian i reckon. but a few drunken cyclists are probably way less dangerous than the hordes of drunken pedestrians roaming the dublin streets on the weekends. add to that a load craxy taxi drivers pulling off all sorts of mad maneuvers to pick up/drop off drunken pedestrians and you have very unsafe city streets anyhow. the point is that drunken gay abandon is gonna be more dangerous than sober clarity when navigating around loads of other people. isn't it technically illegal to be drunk in a public place anyway? prohibition or bubblewrapping drunks is the only way forward.

I think I'd go for bubble wrapping drunks over prohibition.
