Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Had my first big spill off the bike today.Some idiot walked his bike out from the pavement and placed it side on into the cycle lane, I hit him at about 30 km/h. Went to A&E but luckily nothing is broken - still, this might put me out of the evil 200.
Damn

Got a smack of a car (again) yesterday. My doctors solutions were;
Wear something bright and find a different way to get to work and definitely don't cycle through the Walkinstown roundabout anymore (it didn't even happen on the roundabout
)
This was 20 past 8 in the morning. Am I invisible in a black top in broad daylight on a big bike? 0 -

People will always not look or miss you, I would always look at what you could have done to spot their mistake and avoid the accident. I ride my bike as if i cant be seen, always assume people will put out in front of you etc.0 -

Does anyone know what the surface in the Corkagh cycle track park is made of? It's absolutely jaw dropping, even when a bit wet I was striking pedals in the corners and it felt like there is tons more grip. Even picking absolutely stupid lines makes for no drama whatsover. :eek:
I'm a fan of crits now!

My wife noted yesterday that she has Strava QoM's on a bunch of local roads, and a QoM on one particular stretch of road will link a number of them together. Finally my childhood ambition will be fulfilled - we'll build a small red hotel somewhere along one of the roads and charge people every time they pass by.
The supreme overlords of Marlay park, eh! Not sure the people of the greater Whitechurch area are up for a hegemony.

I sorted it this morning after a brainwave! It was embarassingly easy.2 things could be wrong.
Thing 1: Headset is cacked and will need replacing.
Thing 2: The whole set up had become loose (it happens..) and when you re-assembled it wasnt tight enough.
If you reassembed it properly and you are still getting rocking then the bearings are cooked.
Looks like someone in my LBS tightened the stem prior to tightening the top compression bolt. It's fine now. Thanks. 0 -

Started following these guys on Facebook. Just saw the new jersey design (which personally I think sends out the wrong message...cyclists as mobile hazard signs? "Warning, cyclist here!") but some of the comments were odd. How can you expect to get equality and consideration between road users when you say things like "dark jerseys have no place on open public roads"? Again it is almost like placing the fault of a crash for not making the cyclist be as visible as a traffic cone, and any accident is surely the fault of the cyclist not bringing themselves to the attention of passing motorists and not through a lapse in their concentration.
Poor, very poor.
I have dark jerseys. I find being lit at night, not cycling like a loon and signalling my attentions either directly or through assertive road positioning is all I need. Not dressing up like a hazardous bend sign.
