i just caught the last 20 minutes of the documentary on the ras on TG4. i'd never heard of the batshit nationalist history of it. the olympics protest was like a bad monty python sketch.
Going to buy and a new bike and jump back in the saddle after over15 years..
Problem is I don't have a clue about buying a bike.
I can't even make my mind up between Hybrid or Mountain. I like the look of MBs but are they alot heavier - the bike will be mostly just city cycling so is a mountain bike a silly idea.
I was going to spend about €350 - can I get a bike thats not complete shit for this. I don't want to go higher as I'm afraid I'm cycle for 2 weeks realise I can't handle the traffic/effort etc
and never use it again.
I was going to pop down to EuroCycles on Long Mile Road tomorrow and see whats available.
Any opinions/tips etc would be great - Thanks guys.
Eurocycles will be grand
I'd say go for a hybrid. Mountain bikes are too much of a slog.
and get a couple of good locks.
I think i have to get away from the fixie. My knees are massive and lately, for some unknown reason, drivers, pedestrians and other cyclists have been lunatics and i fear for my safety. I've been slowing up to try anticipate what these fuckers are gonna do!!!
Got a raleigh airlite Hybrid from Eurocycles. It seemed the best in my price range (it was €279 which also claimed to be 50%off but who knows). Didn't get much use out of it yet as I am away for a week.
Still need to pick up a helmet - Eurocycles didn't have one in black that would fit my noggin. Is there anywhere around town that you could recommend. I want one of those 'bmx' styled ones (i think thats what they are called - just not the aerodynamic type). Is €45 about the right price for one?
