    A guy on a unicycle on City Quay this evening in the dark, at 17.45. That was a strange sighting.

    :pac::pac::pac:
    Macro photographer Eco Suparman was gobsmacked when the praying mantis he was photographing jumped up onto a curled plant - and looked just like he was pedalling away.
    Yeah sure...that bug is a well-known international model - I mean, it's stick-thin! - and the shoot was obviously posed :rolleyes:

    There was a guy in N Acton London that I passed everyday commuting on his unicycle...

    I also passed a dude once with a bike welded onto the top of another bike. He had to brake by puuting his foot on the back wheel. Such a retarded contraption. I imagine he's now dead.

    I saw a guy cycling up the Rock Road in a t-shirt this morning. Woolly hat but no sleeves or gloves! Bit chilly for that sort of carry on.

    There's loads of it about for the last couple of days. All the thirty somethings in their GAA shorts trying to show the world how hard they are. It would be sad if it wasn't funny.

    They're saying the exact opposite about cyclists. Look at those pussys in Lycra.

    Actually saw a body builder type guy in shorts yesterday on a bike around 10am and 'twas Baltic. Are they worse than GAA lads?

    Went to one of those bike show things in the RDS in the summer. The mechanic from that bike shop on Pearse St was displaying his contraption which was about two or possibly three bikes all welded together in an impossible shape. Apparently he commutes on it occasionally. Looked pretty scary.
    I haven't seen that other bike with the front forks made from medical crutches recently. Have to assume that scheme failed in the most predictable manner. (Used to be knocking around Baggot St area).

    Hat, scarf, and gloves will get you through most cold weather in Ireland no matter how flimsy the rest of your apparel. You'll not find yourself bemoaning your cold elbows too frequently!

    I thought it funny that he had a hat but no sleeves/gloves. I've only had a cold head once - descending Sally Gap in the winter gave me brain freeze from the outside. I often feel the chill on my hands/arms even if they're covered. Different strokes I suppose!
