    I reckon we buy an old fishing trawler and sneak over at night, "coming over here building and riding our roads" as the UKIP lads will be saying ;)

    As a Donegal man who actually played cricket and was taught by a relatively famous ex - international cricketer in school, I'm not sure which of the derisory cliches above to take most offence at. (Sarcasm)

    Yes. But recognise the mentality is similar. As are the origins of same contradictory mindset.

    Cyclist haters are a sign of success… http://www.citylab.com/commute/2014/07/strange-as-it-seems-cycling-haters-are-a-sign-of-cycling-success/374275/
    As major American cities embrace multimodal transportation and balanced mobility networks, cycling has shifted from an outsider enterprise to the mainstream. That shift, in turn, has produced a new psychological strain for drivers accustomed to the belief they own the road.

    I played cricket in my youth. A game where you had a decent break for food and drink appealed to me. Finally clear why I was so attracted to Audax.

    realised today when i took the mountain bike out (first time in over a year), an adjustment bolt on one of the pedals - SPD - is missing. is that the sort of thing an LBS would have in stock?

    If you mean one of the little grub screws you might try b&q or a Locksmiths

    prefect brand for LV, since pinerallo must be the most knocked off bike going.

    Did anybody on here watch Paul Kimmage on The Ray D'Arcy Show on Saturday night? Is it worth a watch?

    Nothing ever starring Ray Darcy has been worth a watch since he left the Den with delusions of grandeur.

    Saw the aftermath of a crash on the Rathgar end of Clareville Road in Harold's Cross last night. Bike lying on the road, cyclist standing and using phone. Taxi driver said "He cycled up beside me when I was moving through traffic - it's all on camera" (as if this were a wrong thing to do!) Cyclist seemed uninjured; hope he was ok.

    I saw a guy today cycle halfway along the road at Stephens Green, from Harcourt street towards Leeson street. Nothing unusual there, except he was going against the traffic on the wrong side of the road. And he wasn't even in the cycle lane, balls of steel this guy, he was hugging the kerb in the (full) overtaking lane.

    Not one car beeped him, I'd say they were all in shock. I was glued to the spot standing in the island in the middle just watching him.

    He began his epic journey by cycling on the footpath in front of the hotel on Cuffe Street, not looking right as he went across the junction at harcourt street, which of course had a green light for the traffic going perpendicular to him, thankfully there was no traffic.

    I really have given up on my belief in survival of the fittest, this lad should have been killed many years ago.

    Self-entitled prat. Plenty of them around. They have their own guardian angels.

    As the 140 swung around at the top of O'Connell Street today one of those intrepid souls was cycling the wrong way towards it, with any exit cut off by one of those high gridded yokes that protect the embryos of the Luas tracks. He kind of clung there like a terrified tarsier gazing out of a nocturnal Sulawesi forest as the double-decker swung slowly towards him and passed.

    That conflicted feeling when someone has an "I heart my bike" decal on the "Fixie" they've dlocked to a railing by the top tube.

    Ah, I was on the bus this time, gazing down in silent horror, wondering was I going to see this brainiac mashed to a pulp, as seemed inevitable.
    But no, thinking isn't the thing; the image was exact:

    Is this quality of writing going to be expected henceforth? (Is Chuchote grading the rest of us semi-literate slobs?)
