    When I walk into work, the amount of cyclists on the footpad infuriates me.

    I found myself arguing yesterday in After Hours with someone who said the roads were too dangerous to cycle on and that he always cycled on either the footpath or off-road cycle tracks. On a thread full of anti-cyclist vitriol he failed to see the problem with it.

    Excellent pizza if that's what you're into! :D


    Ohh god. Never again. I had no milk left for my bloody cereal this morning after that.

    Anyone see Invictus last night on RTE? Great film I thought. I was meant to be studying. :D

    Untill yesterday I thought I had seen most things people could mess up on a bike but this was a new one to me, a British threaded BB fitted backwards, how is that even possible!!! Not to mention the shell looked like it had been faced with a hammer, sweet baby Jesus.

    Not in the LOUTI league, unless I've not been paying attention.

    Call me confused, I'm from Cork like, you confusing me with someone else? The St Finbarrs Summer League is what I'll be attending tonight. Think I'll just leave the numbers at home and bring the CI card instead.

    Sorry Lumen I read "I've not been paying attention" as "you've not been paying attention"

    AFAIK not in club races because the guys at the end know who is crossing the line, hide it under your jersey and then follow the lead of others who are there.

    Don't think it's a track version as there seems to be a derailleur hanger. The cutout might be for battery storage?

    @AstraMonti here's the answer:

    Anyone know off the top of their head where abouts the cycle path on the N11 ends at the southern end and where it starts to get up to motorway speed?

    Ends up just after you pass cherrywood. Cycle lane continues up to Shankill and Bray and then you have the option to go out to N11 again up until Greystones if I remember correctly.

    I'm thinking of cycling to Bray and back so trying to find the best route, when to come off the N11 etc.

    Want to stick to cycle lanes as much as possible and avoid really narrow roads (there are plenty of pretty narrow roads on the way to bray IIRC).

    If you stick on the cycle lanes you ll end up to bray, it's very easy and there is little chance you ll get confused. Keep going straight :)

    Try not to get confused by the contra flow system. Ohh and you have to give way to cars pulling out of housing estates along there :rolleyes:
