A few questions?

colm_gti

Lads I have a few questions I was hoping ye could answer....

What's the best road bike for under €1000?

Should I get a flat bar racer?

Can I buy a lawnmower on my BTW scheme?

If I put a dura ace chain on my bike will it make me faster?

What's the average speed of an A4 race? I can cycle on my own at 25km/h, will I win one?

What's faster, the blue one or the red one?

Lyons or Barrys?

Totally

Can I buy a lawnmower on my BTW scheme?

Only if its a sit on

If I put a dura ace chain on my bike will it make me faster?

Yes but you have to use WD40 to lube it up nicely

You would smash it totally. Youd be like Lance in his pomp

What's faster, the blue one or the red one?

Eh Blue haven't you seen the Milky bar ad

Lyons or Barrys?

Be posh us a combined blend.

What should I eat the night before my 10k commute?

DirkVoodoo

Why don't any of you obey the law?

Do I need to put air in my tyres?

I hear a noise coming from somewhere in my house that sounds like a starving dog, does my bottom bracket need replacing?

EDIT: Lyons, take your f**kin' Barrys back to Cork, boi!

Was going to mention wheels, but I've posted enough wheel weight threads that it'd be a dig at myself, almost

Why oh why oh why are all the questions in this thread about matters that only concern racing snobs on their stripped down tour de france racing machines?

Why can't we have a thread that relates to REAL cyclists who use their bikes for REAL things - shopping, delivering organic mangos and hand made sandals to the Temple Bar Market and the occasional long distance jaunt to the outer suburbs?

Also, where can I get one of those Boards Jerseys?

My bike is uncomfortable and heavy. Please recommend one that isn't. I have other requirements which I may or may not disclose under duress. I have already decided which answers will be acceptable, but I will not disclose this until twenty hundred of you have contributed hours of your time. I only really came here to think out aloud. I may never return to this thread.

Will anyone forgive me for asking this question even though I swear that I did, in fact, use the search function and just couldn't find any of the answers I wanted?

Ryath

Why do you cycle two abreast?
I'm in a hurry and can't squeeze by on a narrow corner when you do.

Use the bloody footpad!

Yes, you are wearing MTB shorts. Replace them with Castelli Inferno bibs and your gears should be fine.

Only fit female friends in tight one-piece lycra outfits. You'll miss your cycling club dearly!
