Spotted a Boardsie earlier. It was a young lady cycling a black Giant Bowery (Caroline) going past Myos in Castleknock shortly after 2 o'clock. Sorry it was too late to give a beep or a shout out the window. She wasn't wearing any Boards attire though.

Wow ... I am spotted even trying to cycle incognito ... you know the pressure of being famous.

Happened to me the other day in Phibsbobo -was waiting at the lights and someone (who I didn't recognise!) shouted out "Tiny!"

I hope it wasn't a comment on me though....

You need a Boards sticker for your car, cos when a taxi beeps at me I assume it's not cos he likes me!

I was in a gym before and they checked what % of fat was in my body. It was a massive 1%. So I am infact a fatty.

Off-topic, but that's wrong, surely, or else I'm missing the joke. According to Wikipedia (yeah, I know)

"Certified personal trainers will suggest to male bodybuilders that they should aim for a body fat percentage between 2–4% by contest time.[6] Getting to this level usually requires a carefully planned and implemented exercise program, specific and carefully monitored variations in fluid consumption, energy intake and macronutrient ratios, sodium and potassium, and sometimes also use of ointments and alcohol".

What can I tell ya...I'm a freak:eek:.

It was about 10years ago and I only weighed about 8 stone then. I didn't even know they could measure this. All I did was stand bare footed on some machine and it measured it. The instructor was a bit surprised also.

Actually, I think that was me. I was wandering down NCR and noticed your bike at the lights (obviously you were attached to it at the time). I knew that I'd seen it before but it took me a second to recall that you'd posted images of your rather beautiful single-speed Mercian on boards. It suddenly hit me that staring fixedly at a bloke on a bike might be miscontrued: hence my shout out. It is a lovely bike though...

Ah! Your arm ok? I noticed the sling...

It is indeed a tasty steed sir, thank you!

rflynnr · 17-02-2009 3:50pm

Thanks for asking: the arm is getting there. The sling has been largely unused for the past two days but, as I've torn a ligament in the shoulder, I'll be off the bike for another five weeks which is a bit of a killer. (Especially as I took delivery of a cargobike for moving around the kids last week - will post photos as soon as I get my sh*t together camera-wise.)

silvo · 23-02-2009 4:40pm

Seeing boardsies all over the place! On Saturday near Cloon Woods saw two lads (one with the full boards.ie kit) flying past, then today saw a tall roadie with long sleeve boards training top off Baggot St.

I saw a boards cyclist on a racing bike about 2 weeks ago on the South Quays in Dublin. Poor guy nearly got knocked down by a moped when it moved across him into the bus lane.

Some impressive swearing ensued. :pac:
Don't know what poster it was though

Me.

Me. (Sorry Hermy.)

Seen another..

Yesterday evening, black bike (couldn't see manufacture) full mudguards and full BOARDS.IE gear down Fairview, North Strand and into Amiens St..

Since I was in my car I couldn't get his/your attention to say "HI"..

But "HI" all the same.

Me. (Hi Mairt.)

I seem to have been reduced to counting sightings of myself to convince myself of my own existence.
