Just gave my details to a motorist in a 'cyclist' on motorist 'collision'. Lad pushing two bikes along, ran one into a stationary car and then claimed he'd hit her and demanded she get out to swap details. I was watching him because a few seconds earlier he'd tried the handle on a parked delivery van. I'd been waiting at the bus stop across the road watching the whole thing.

"21 percent of those surveyed who are 55 and older reckon cyclists are the most dangerous group on the roads"

Cyclists perceived to be among Ireland’s most dangerous road users, according to poll
The survey found that only young male drivers and e-scooter users are deemed to be more dangerous – though younger people are less inclined to view cyclists as the greatest hazard on the roads

Propaganda working.
Went out for 82km today, longest spin I've been on in many months and felt like I'd been beaten up by the time I got home. Haven't been on the bike enough recently and it was very blustery. Fair took it out of me.
I see cyclists doing daft stuff regularly e.g. breaking red lights etc.
but pedestrians are worse. some of them must have a death wish .
the last time I was in Dublin I saw three near misses of pedestrians and they all seemed to be the pedestrians own fault.
I am not able to drive BTW.

Guys - do any of you have experience with buying travel cases for bikes?
ETA - Breaking red lights on a bike is ethical when done safely

They all seems made expensive. Like 500+
Are there cheapo decent ones?
And do you think I will have difficulty finding one to fit my clown frames?
is the plan to bring it overseas?
I think that frame would fit in a bike bag, as opposed to a bike case (as in, a soft-shell one)..

My bikes are not at the value level of needing protection
Air Lingus used to have no need for a bag policy, just removing pedals and 90 degree the handlebars and tape up anything loose.
Yea I've seen people just put their bikes in massive cardboard boxes and tape them up. Nothing fancy needed at all.
Dont even need the box
this was mine going to spain

Yeah, this has been my experience.
Aer Lingus will be cool
I just might be flying on into the US with a different carrier, and I want to avoid any shenanigans at check-in
This is all dependent on me getting out of my own goddamn way and booking the race in Texas tho
All talk so far
fucking nora - not to do with cycling, but; same judge, presumably the same court sitting.
a lad stopped on an escooter, who refused to provide insurance details; 4 year driving ban, €350 fine.
a lad stopped in a car doing 150km/h on the M1, three times over the legal drink limit; 3 year driving ban, €750 fine.
because it's who i am, i had to back check the one commenter who didn't think it was bullshit. E - Burke, Yaxley lennon, racism BINGO
