    F'kin "Hey, how much does a bike like that cost?" questions all the time.

    I have this conversation with the postman every time I meet him when heading out for a spin (obviously in a friendlier tone than the OP). I'm tempted to swap him for his cargo bike.

    I may one day try to get the Bullitt up Stocking Lane, but it might be awhile.

    Is it bad form to call into a bike shop to get my bike pumped? Was going to call into ThinkBike as I'm just waiting for delivery of my own!

    No I would not think so tbh! When I was completing my 5-lakes personal cycling challenge & was cycling around Lough Ree their was a 'knocking' sound coming from my racer so I popped into a random bike shop in the nearest village I was cycling through and not a bother. They didn't mind assisting; done some tweeking and said no charge but I left them monies anyways as a Thank You gesture from the happy kerrywoman :)

    They didn't mind at all so I wouldn't imagine anyone to mind actually assisting anyone if they came in and asked.

    I popped into the bike shop in Howth a few months back when I ruptured a tyre. I asked if I could use the pump, no bother, one of the lads took a look and noticed that the rip had happened at the valve. I had no money and a sh*t pump on me at the time but had a spare tube so he fixed it up and sent me on my way free of charge.

    Being the kind soul that I am I called back that week and gave him a 5er for helping me out, would have been stranded for quite a while if he had told me to f*ck off! :)

    Bike Hub? Always deserve a mention, the way a bike shop should be run. Nice folk and plenty of Italian brands.

    You should always carry an emergency €20 and credit/laser card. Store with phone in a zip-lock bag.

    You should see this: 260 lb (nearly 120Kg) weight limit of the New York bikes has users "up in arms".

    Thinking of selling my Charge Plug frame and fork and buying a Dolan Precursa, I want to give Sundrive a crack. Undecided on whether I should just sell the entire thing including cranks and wheelset and just start from scratch.

    LOL I never heard the phrase used like that before, I was used to the irish term.

    Is it Apple using their Store agreement to steal code? i.e. their user agreement allows them to take ideas or is it quite literally coincidence.

    On a karma note, I stopped to do my good deed for the day on my way into work, ended up slightly late but my boss was OK with this. For my troubles it rained on me on the way home but was so warm I nearly collapsed from dehydration (dramatic license hear, I just found myself really thirsty), my rear wheel slipped as I took off from a light and I nutted myself but luckily did not faceplant, and an expensive test I was running for my boss decided that while it was all set up perfectly, the software would freeze in the middle and take no usable results, wasting half my working day and costing the company about alot of money.

    Karma, like the cake, is a lie,
