Check this lad out from my cycle the other day. Phoenix park, double yellows, blocking both bike lanes, forcing people out into a single lane of oncoming traffic. Real sweetheart when I told him he couldn't park there.

I saw a pine marten today while out in wilds. saw loads of other cool stuff too, but that's a first for me.

On my way home for cycling this part of Spain. Been trying to get to this area on a bike for years. Stunning altogether. About 1000m climbed each day all with the bike being about 30kg. Not even recommendable to someone experienced tbh because so much is 100% not actually roads or cycling rather pushing something heavy up a rough track for 2 km.
My bike was grand but I did 4 roadside rescue repairs for folks with less tools on board.

the transatlantic way - an unsupported endurance bike race - starts in a couple of days; 2500km or an easier 1700km course; the main route follows the full wild atlantic way AFAIK.
interesting to see the spread of ages, from the people who have sent bike details in - from 23 to 75.

Ciaran Fitzgerald is going to have a sore hole with that saddle

 

[magicbastarder]

would you believe, i had the exact same thought. i have the same saddle and it's fine for me for shortish spins but definitely not longer ones.

passing one the LBS' today and the guy was cleaning a pure white bike. On closer inspection it was a fairly decent but extremely weathered old thing converted to a single speed and sprayed white.

This implies to me, strongly, that it's a ghost bike. And so, a stolen ghost bike.

It's not quite the same as stealing a headstone or something, but it's freaked me out a bit. Shopkeeper said "You're not the first person to say that. I'll have a word with the guy".

Do people still do ghost bike memorials?
