Must see if I can find the serial number for my centaur and snake sculpture that got robbed. I locked it outside a Spar a couple of years ago. Only for 5 minutes, I was so angry.

My favourite pedals are the BMX ones.
i need to bring my bike into the shop. i think i hit a pot hole in the godforsaken heck hole of meath and no my back wheel is fucked. its to do with bearings or something. i tried cycling yeswterday but i found it hard to keep a rhythm with the chain and the back wheel, it was very glitchy. i did a cycle 10% below what i'm capable of

yadda yadda.
Its simple. People are primarily scared of getting on bikes, because its dangerous.
Its dangerous because of cunts in cars and trucks.
I'm fucking more scared cycling my bike into work, than driving a fairly substantial motorbike, because you get less cuntishness from cars when you are on a motorbike.
And, its not like I'm a novice rider.
To get people on bikes, you have to lessen the perceived or real threat from other road users.
To do this, you need plain clothes cops, on bikes, handing out tickets to cars who are in any way driving intimidatingly.
One day a week, send out 50 plain clothes lads around Dublin etc. Every prick who screams past them, jams on the brakes, and swerves into their paths, ticket.
Publicize the crap out of it. Plain clothes lads *all over the shop*, get the whingey drivers to talk in scandalized tones on radio about how unjust it is, that they are sneaking around everywhere.
All the while: Any form of anti social driving == ticket.
That will put a change of attitude on drivers.
That will be noticed, and people will cycle more.
one day while walking home from dun laoghaire me n a friend found this bmx. the handlebars are completely snapped off and need new ones. its fairly rusty in places but i reckon its ok, the chain is totally rusty but still works. dunchee, if u can come out n fix it up i will give you cans of guinness and veggie curry.... let me kno if ur interested. the gaf is near the graduate pub
i dunno, there's bad drivers and stuff but people become worse drivers the more desperate the conditions get. all that discovering of new car lanes that happens in rush hour is just a consequence of there being too many cars on the roads. everyone does it and you can't avoid being a part of it if you are driving during rush hour - you just line up behind the car in front.
if kerbed cycle lanes became the norm in dublin there'd be less 'creativity' by motorists about how many car lanes there actually are through the colonisation of cycle lanes. and i'd say there'd be a lot more people cycling to work/college/school/whatever if there were more cycle lanes that were separated from the road and the footpath.
I just moved house and its an extra 10 min cycle to work. Not much, but enough to make me dread winter. plus I'm cycling through the park at the moment, which closes in winter when its dark.
The one thing I want more than anything now is:
Aluminium frame
Suspension
I feel like I'm fighting with my bike all the time, while others seem to glide by. Thats and the back wheel rattles about and sqeeks and general is a heap of crap. I've applied for a 'bike to work' scheme, which hopefully will allow me to get some money of a new one. Otherwise, ahh, christmas contributions?
