    'twas me! Sighted after only a month in the gear! I was out for a "swifty fifty" before dinner!

    The beep was spot on and it was nice to get the encourgement. Went as far as Kilmoon Cross then headed back the "lumpy" way over Alpe d'Bellewstown:)

    Ah yes some nice little "lumps" in the road around Bellewstown alright, they're usually the roads i got out on for a quick spin, great to see a fellow boardsie around these parts, don't feel so lonely anymore :)

    That would be me and yes. I was in the cycle/bus lane a bit behind a Beamer who was signalling left to go into a side street. He turned left, then swung around in a u-turn and headed straight back out into the cycle/bus lane without looking/signalling. I hit the brakes so had scrubbed a lot of speed, but still hit the car and came off*. The driver in fairness to him was reasonable about it and admitted he was at fault and would pay for any damages.

    *Is it wrong that as soon as it happened and the driver/passers by were asking me was I ok, that I was thinking 'Nevermind me, what about the bike?'

    Possibly but I do the same thing! I got a nasty old hit from a car about a year ago and while I was lying on the road all I could think of was if my bike was going to be ok! It was thank god but I can't say the same for my rickety hip!

    something that bothers me fairly constantly is how would I get the bike home if I spill and get carted off in an ambulance? I have visions of demanding the bike comes with me.......

    Me too! Before I could do anything I phoned my other half and got him to come and get my bike. Only then could I think about going to the hospital :(

    The one time I had to get taken off in an ambulance I didn't want to leave the bike but for someone reason they wouldn't let me take it along:confused:. The guys in the ambulance did go back afterwards and bring the bike to the nearest garda station which was really good of them. Not that someone was going to cycle away on it, needed new forks and front wheel.

    Saw someone in Boards shorts cycling through Rathfarnham at about 6:15 this evening.
    He was cycling on the footpath. Tut tut.
    I thought the unwritten rule was to only break the law in your Aldi/Lidl cycling gear.

    If it was along the quay's waiting to turn right at Jury's, it was probably me again.

    Just leave your boards jersey wrapped around it. If one of us come across it, we'll pick it up and look after it for you:)

    Someone at the scene of my accident very kindly took my bike to his house. I cannot remember anything about it, but when I was in hospital one of the ambulancemen mentioned the details of the guy were on a piece of paper in my bag. He even called the hospital to check how I was.
    Needless to say I was very thankful for his kind help.

    I'm just glad I was spotted, it's taken a long time. Bloody freezing last night too, and my rear light failed on the way home.

    This evening at 4.10pm on the Nangor road near Grange Castle. You were heading towards Clondalkin, I was Celbridge bound. Only noticed the jersey as we passed, so shouted "Hi Boardsie" over my right shoulder.

    Just read the previous page after I had posted and saw this. Yeah that was me in the red jacket. Odd that Quint spotted you at 3.20 and I passed you at 4.10 on the same road :confused:. Pretty sure I have the time correct.

    Nearly forgot a sighting this morning - turning off O'Connell Bridge onto Eden Quay this morning, 08.25/08.30. Pulled up just ahead of me at a red light there. I was going to say hello when they overtook me on Eden Quay... but it never happened. Someone on a go-slow day, considering I was on my crappy old commuting bike? :D

    Ah that was you? Yeah on a Monday morning go-slow. You took off like a rocket and I was far too lazy for that. I was considering giving chase, but then the lights went red. :)

    My road bike is still out of service (got around to starting repairs last night), but I was hoping for at least something resembling a race! :) Next time!

    Not strictly speaking a Boards Jersey Sighting cos I haven't got around to getting one yet (decided to get one last time round but had missed the deadline by a few days!), but there I was, stopped at the lights around High Street/Vicar Street and I hears a loud whistle. There's Unionman waving at me from across the road! I waved and pointed back at his Boards Shorts (cos I couldn't see his jersey), so hopefully he didn't think I was pointing in some kind of rude fashion!

    Does meeting a boardsie count?

    A certain newly-wed on a red specialized whizzed by on the Clontarf cycle path this evening. I gave chase and caught him courtesy of the red lights at the Bull Island causeway. Nice to meet somebody for a change...

    I have to think this was me. First time out on the road bike in AGES. And what a fantastic day for a spin: summer-like weather.

    I do take issue with the goatee though: I think you'll find it's the full beard.

    Moi. I always get confused when people say "heading south". In my head, when you're going towards the mountains you're going "up" and therefore "north". I don't have a problem with directions in general, just that one :D

    Orders are done periodically. Basically someone volunteers to do an order, puts a thread up and then sends off an order when enough people put themselves down for it to make it worthwhile.
