And even better....

And EVEN better:

A lot of other activity happened in three brothels ran by three middle-aged men who were convicted in the August 1884 trial. Who were they and what happened to them?

– Daniel Considine (41) [..] who was charged with keeping a room “for the purpose … of buggery” at his lodgings at 10 Great Ship Street in the shadow of Dublin Castle. He was found guilty and sentenced to the maximum punishment of two years hard labour.

– Robert Fowler (60), a Protestant toymaker, who lived in nearby 43 Golden Lane who was charged and found guilty of the same offence.

Fitting mudguards, probably. That is always a total buggery.

I'd say it was fitting, tubeless.

Would ultegra spd-sl pedals normally be on offer for Black Friday? I'm looking to pick up a set of R8000s.

Yeah I saw that. Usual thing of making the normal price look like a deal.

I used to work in a primary school in Dublin and the kids got cycling training. So I guess the crowd giving the lessons go school to school and make a living out of it. Often things like that get paid by the parents' committee fundraising, so it's probably not done in every school. It might be a good investment by the Department of Transport or Department of Health or Department of the Environment.

Would it be okay to wipe down my bike with 100% IPA wipes every so often, would it wear the paint?

magicbastarder

disposable wipes are the spawn of the devil.

CramCycle

Use a rag, baby wipes don't break down and are an environmental issues. Will also be the reason your drains block if you flush them. Google London Fatberg for examples.

though i am intrigued by the idea of wiping your bike down with indian pale ale.

We did cycling road craft type lessons in primary school around 1975. I don't recall doing a test though. As far as I remember we had to bring our bikes to school one day a month and there were lines drawn out in the school yard to replicate a road/junction etc.

(It was though considered extremely uncool and nerdy to do the 'slowing down' hand motion outside of school).

Stop robbing wipes from work!









Use the 6%. They’ll do the job nicely.

Gas . Isopropyl Alcohol wipes, not suitable for children, great for cleaning steel counter tops and the like, just wondering would they damage paint.

Thanks, I shall purchase some 6% from my local supplier ðŸ˜

They won't damage the bike, but seriously, use a rag, not wipes.

I keep odd socks and such for cleaning bikes

BikeRegister supply a few with their kits, so they must feel they're ok. I can't recall if they're 100% and don't know how significant the % would be.

stuff that goes to land fill is why taxes and levy's are needed, because people make decisions based on monetary values.

I'd like to extend this to try encourage people to use environmentally friendly degreasers etc plenty good value ones out their

Training at a young age works well as well. My son was round at an aunts, he asked her to double check his butt after a toilet trip, and she went to wipe his ass with a wipe. Well holy hell did he lose the rag. For a normally placid child, they had to ring me and talk him down over the phone. He went mental, called her a bad aunt, told her she would break the toilet and destroy the environment.

An over reaction but I have to say, teach them when they are young is the way to go.

Anyone out there own a Scott Addict RC 20 2019? Have it on my shortlist for a lightweight climber. Be interested to know what people thought?

What's the more northern part of the Malahide Road/Oscar Traynor Road like for cycling these days? I have to head up that way around 3pm on a weekday soon, probably coming back down it around 17:45.

Wonder was there any interest from other teams in him? He's what 34/35?

Last few years there haven't been great for him, even when he did race there were many dnf's . Wonder what issues he had if any? Interesting too he used the word 'job' I've seen it suggested that thats all cycling was to him at this stage.

Best of luck to him, he'll have his hands full with the baby now I'm sure.
