Actually, I've gotten a few tickets in my day. They actually go on your licence here, which sucks.

what if you've no licence?

He's in America. If you have no license it means there is something wrong with you, you hate their freedoms and you should move to Russia.

ah, i assumed it was cambridge in the UK.

 

[magicbastarder]

anyway, the two gardai i talked to about cycling offences (before this FPN stuff came in) thought that doing a cyclist for breaking a red light was a waste of garda time. that said, at the time the garda would probably have had to go to court to see it through.

I always thought it was illegal to cycle the foot path looks like am mistaken I think cyclists been able to bend the rules a little is good thing and generally more safer

my understanding was that under the road transportation act of 1963 or 1964, a bicycle is considered a vehicle and by this act, it is illegal to operate a vehicle on a footpath.

there was this article in the drogheda independent about a cyclist being fined for hitting a car when he was cycling on a footpath
Man fined €20 for careless cycling - Independent.ie

Not a word of a lie, I was taken to court, in probably 1990, for making an illegal left - with the lights! - onto O'Connell St from Parnell St

Judge let me go with a warning, but it fucking happened

He liked that I was a student, bettering myself through education and all that.

Thank God that it was before computers, so he didn't know that I was signing on at the same time

And no one really has a problem if you slow down and go through an empty intersection carefully.
Well, maybe they do. I usually have headphones in.

big difference between being a cunt on a 15lb bike and a cunt in a 2 ton metal box.

And yet you've seemed to manage it quite easily.

Some prick cyclist broke a red light and nearly knocked me down today. I shouted at him.

He wouldn't have heard you as he probably had earphones in.

Productive day off

That was my first cycle in the rain. It was really tough going in the mud and puddles. The rain gear was a waste of time-I got soaked through. Arrive at work soaked and covered in mud. But I had a shower and have dry work clothes so all good. Hopefully my riding gear will be dry by this evening.

if i'm cycling in the rain, i just take the attitude, if i'm gonna get wet, i get wet immediately. get the initial shock of cold water over with as fast as possible.

Yeah getting wet is no problem. Not having dry jocks to change into was a valuable life lesson.

There may not be a greater life lesson. I am down with your resilience.

 

[therealjohnny]

minor complaint. It's still raining and my cycling clothes are still wet. This is going to be uncomfortable

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

It's worse if it's now super warm and dry and your clothes are still wet.

 

[therealjohnny]

chaffed balls whichever way I look at it
