but even if you have those super krypto armour fuck off locks, an expensive bike will still get fucked with out of plain spite, the amount of lovely bikes i've seen with spokes and wheels bent in town. FUCK THESE CUNTS. I'd love to have a really shiny completely chrome bike and hook up a car battery or something to it and watch all day as these cheese eating cunts get electrified and burn there hands off. then i'd make a compilation vid of a weeks worth of maimings and sell it around dublin. with the money i'd make i'd set up more bikes and maybe hire a few lads with baseball bats to have a go off the scum just after they get shocked and are staggering down the road.

My arse is killing me from the saddle. Any exercises for toughening up the old gluteus maximus?

buy a new and more comfortable saddle.

or you could just go and nick one.

Ride more.

This is just good advice in general.



Get a Kryptonite lock and a locking cable like this.

Lock both wheels to the frame and the frame to something solid.
Lock it somewhere very visible.
Your bike will not be stolen.

The saddle soreness will pass.

In addition to above
Change the skewers for the wheels to allen key ones. Still put the lock through at least one and the frame though. Also try to have the bike so that there is as little movement for leverage as possible.

Where can I find one of these in Dublin?

I got one very similar in Cycleways - Parnell St.
Not a Kryptonite.
Tough as nails though.

Funny you should say that. Some bollocks stole the seat off my bike yesterday.

Yeah, and get your missus always to knead your dough-like buttocks in the process

Holy Shit.

For those who haven't clicked the link, you can open certain Kryptonite locks with a certain Bic pen....

Mea Culpa.
It's from the jaysus cycling thread. Bikes locked in street get graded on their locking technique. There's a part 2 and three too. This saved me a saddle the other day:

I would presume also that their new locks are biro proof. So don't anyone go buying a kryptonite lock thats more than 5 years old.
