    Has anyone ever counted the number of cyclist seen passing government buildings during the 6 o clock news as RTE do an outside broadcast! I find myself having difficulty paying sttention to the report as I count, and more recently look at the type, of bikes passing. The record so far is 11. Let's see if this will be beaten during the election and formation of a new government. While unscientific to say the least I still reckon it is a reasonable indicator of the ever increasing numbers cycling to work.

    Wonder who will be the first person spotted in a boards jersey on RTÉ news.

    Jean Byrne? She's worn stranger things.

    (Ok, she presents the weather, not the news. Close enough?)

    Just watched a bit of that report on the rte player and just noticed one guy nearly getting taken out of it by a taxi coming out of the side street there (think its grattan lane)
