He could have done worse to tarnish the boards jersey rep. A couple of weeks ago on my first and thus far only outting with my boards jersey I was heading up a hill (towards victoria cross in Cork for those who know it). It was about 18.30 so traffic was quite heavy and slow moving. I overtook a middle/late aged female leisure cyclist on her heavy BSO. As there was plenty of room between the cars and the curb I was making my way up in between them and on towards the lights. However, as I was doing so I got distracted by a rather hot lady who was jogging in the opposite direction on the other side of the road. In a not so very steathly fashion I checked her out with languid turn of my head. The moment passed and I switched my attention back to the road only to see that I was about to hit the curb. I wasn't successful in avoiding it and with my feet clipped in there was only going to be one outcome. The female cyclist I'd passed earlier actually stopped as I picked myself up to see if I was ok. Fair play to her. My ego was bruised but nothing else.

hope you didnt scratch that sexy bike

Spotted one about 10 mins ago on Oliver Plunkett Road in Monkstown on what looked suspiciously like a BSO.

This evening just before 7pm, eastbound on the Tallaght Bypass approaching the roundabout for the NBA. Head down, cadence up, working hard and moving at a fair clip ... intervals? Wasn't sure if you heard me until I got the nod back.

That was me sans helmet. It was just a casual very careful mostly cycle track spin.

Dont think it is Law to wear a helmet. i cycle to and from work without one.

it only takes me around 10 mins to cycle to work and back. only trouble with cycling to work is a fecking hill


just found this on some site Pedal Cyclists Ireland

"As a cyclist, you are a vulnerable road user and your bicycle will not protect you if there is a crash. The law does not require you to wear a helmet. However, in the interest of road safety, and in your personal interest, you should wear a helmet at all times. "

True when at home a book could fall from the Shelf and hit us on the head.

i think we cant all force people to wear a helmet.

After all to really be in a chance to walk away from a crash, you want a very good helmet at around 140 or more, i cant see the argos ones for 25euro doing the same job

Could someone please post up a pic of the boards jersey, as the wiki seems to be down:/

Thanks

Captain Havoc

No more helmet talk. A helmet can't protect you from the ban-hammer.

Cork24

depends on how hard the hammer hits

But back to the point Wiki is down and cants find any place to get a look at the new boards jersey
