Just finished a 70km spin around southern Lanzarote. Sweet jebus the wind made it tough :eek: It was hot as well; I have never ridden in temperatures as hot, but I could handle it. The wind though nearly broke me!

I'm not saying to cut in the stream of cars. She shouldn't have been on the inside the first place.

Part of the problem with this junction is that there is curb between the bike lane and the road which means you are almost at the corner by the time you can get back on the road.
The only way around it is to just use the road on the bridge.

Maybe this video should be emailed to Shane Ross as a perfect example of why cycle lanes shouldn't be mandatory

Jesus, don't do that! he'll just think "bad cyclist on road...booo! why can't they stick to the cycle track... I know I'll just make them mandatory.... This job is easy, now why cant dealing with the OCI be as easy?"

edit to say: except that his thoughts would have better grammar.

Well, yeah, that might save them for a bit, maybe.

I thought that would be their death knell. It certainly will be a test of whether or not the ministers are in it for themselves or for the country. I know which I suspect.

Hopefully, this is the end of his cycling career.

I'm not sure where to put this as we don't have a reader's bikes thread (Images of beauty notwithstanding). I saw tomasrojo's Bakfiets today in the environs of Dundrum, it's owner wasn't present otherwise he would have received a "Hi Boardsie!" shout.

Isn't there a thread called readers fleets or something?

For some reason, chat was banned in that thread, so it doesn't get much traffic.

Chat on a discussion forum, don't be ridiculous.

Go to the back of the class and await a yellow card.....

Darkglasses · 14-09-2016 10:35PM

The OP specifically wanted no chat, because there was too much chat in the Images of Beauty thread..

Am in Lisbon on hols at the moment. Has to be the least cyclist friendly city I've been in. Heat, polished cobbles, extremely hilly, tram lines everywhere, narrow streets.

Just pretend you're in training for the Belgian spring classics. If you can stay upright there you can stay upright anywhere

A team named after a disease. What could go wrong?

And look what happened. No one posts there.

I'll really have to be well behaved now. I'm much more conspicuous!

Given the great power cyclists wield behind the scenes, doing shady deals with councils to destroy the fabric of cities that were doing just fine filled with cars: The Protocols of the Elders of (Lennard) Zinn.

Nice plan in Malmö - Swedish apartment block being built with no car parking but with parking for bikes and cargo bikes and some cargo bike pooling for residents.

Have to say its been very uplifting to see a few kids cycling to school this week. Some on roads that more concerned parents (incorrectly) would not let their kids cycle on. Generally quite good roadcraft and alot less stupidity than their older counter parts heading into university.

The right turn at the bank into UCD off the Goatstown road has some rather bizarre antics.

I need to get a spare wheel home tonight if possible. However the problem is I'm on the bike, and not sure how to go about doing so. I've a touring bike with panniers, and could maybe tie it somehow, but is it a silly idea given the likely heavy traffic later on?

Also saw this. http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/components/sprint-wheel-carriers.html

Wrap it in a towel and put in on top of the rear carrier, and cable-tie or bungee-cord it there?

I usually use a large folding-bike bag cable-tied to a trailer to carry spare wheels. Probably not much use to you.
