That was TinyExplosion, Niceonetom and Me... we did look cool I have to say. Just came back 10 minutes ago from that spin.

Out for run along seapoint coast road and presumed I saw the 3 of you on your way home.

Yous were going out quite early, which doesn't suit us young 'uns

Made it up to the Kippure mast though -boy that's a tough climb

Spotted a boards jersey heading into Central Park in Leopardstown about 9am this morning....

That would probably have been me. I hope I was obeying the rules of the road*

*I think I went through an amber light

Bad boy! Giving us boardsies a bad name... does no one know the rules: "anyone in board gear must remain a model cycling citizen at all times"

kenmc · 08-09-2008 10:45am

amber is fine, as long as the green is still warm

dub_skav · 08-09-2008 11:49am

There is a great deal of pressure to be law-abiding wearing that jersey.
Stopping at every red light actually gets you some odd looks though.

Gets you odd looks, but your overwhelming smugness at doing the right thing, and being law abiding is much greater

And if you really want to put an uber-positive spin on it, you can use the stopages as intervals and sprint back to top speed

I went down in group 3, but decided it was a bit slow, so came home with 4/5 (They decided to just go as one group on the way home)

neilled · 18-09-2008 6:25pm

spotted in rathfarnham, 15 mins ago, cyclist in boards jersey with messenger bag!

May have been me not sure if i was home that late, green and orange bag?

Gavin · 25-09-2008 7:15pm

First random spotting of boards.ie gear ! I was even thinking how disappointing it was that I hadn't seen anyone yet with the gear as I started on the way home.

I couldn't see if the sandals were being worn though.

blorg · 25-09-2008 9:09pm

I had my first random spotting today too. Since acquiring a fixie I have developed a keen eye that checks out the rear hub area of any likely hipster. Coming down into Clonskeagh I saw a possible candidate on the other side of the road on this bright yellow monstrosity and sure enough, rear hub confirmed it- singlespeed. It was only after making this assessment that I looked up and noticed it- a boards jersey!

27-09-2008 6:36pm

Finally spotted one - Rathgar Road just there, sandals and all.

SetOverSet · 11-10-2008 6:42pm

Caroline.ie & a few others in Enniskerry today, then Blorg I think (recognised from photos on here!) heading fast down hill into Enniskerry village shortly after. I was sitting waiting for someone near the top of the hill in disco kit and gave you a wee wave

Tails · 23-11-2008 7:36pm

Had my first sighting yesterday morning on the coast road beside sandymount. The owner of the jersey was hot on the heals of another gentleman sporting a yellow jersey.

'fess up!

That was me! Hot on the heels.. I wish. I had no legs anymore at that stage.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 05-12-2008 12:54pm

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.

My personal stalker knows my whereabouts better than I do myself. Yes, sounds like it was me, and yes, I do commute in my boards gear ...

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.

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!

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.)

happygoose · 20-02-2009 12:18am
