Was in Bordeaux last week and noticed they now allow cars with more than two occupants to use the bus/bike lane. Thankfully I had four in the car, but noticed I was one of the few people who did.

I see a market opportunity.

This "zombie baby" was spotted by a Washington State trooper who caught a carpool lane violator near Tacoma in October 2015.

The motorist had the doll in the passenger seat of his vehicle wearing its seatbelt (he gets a point for safety, I suppose) complete with a beanie, pajamas, and a face that only a diabolical killer could love. He was cited $136 for driving in the HOV lane.

Police gave the driver a break for not having the doll in a car seat. "At least he's in the [Halloween] spirit," Trooper Guy Gill tweeted.

It always bring to mind the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry picks up a prostitute so he can use the Diamond lane.

Is there an app/site that I can access it download cycling audio books? Not keen on a monthly renewal option.

Garzard · 07-10-2017 04:53PM

Bought my first racer today - Synapse Claris. I've to wait until Thursday to collect it from Cycle Superstore though. Was delighted with the assistance we received in the choice of racer and the assistant even offered to lower the price from €840 to €798. Along with the bike we picked up a Speedster 2 medium saddle bag, bottle cage, and 4x spare tubes - all this came to just under the original cost of the bike itself!

As in audiobooks to listen to when cycling, or audiobooks about cycling? The cost of audiobooks on their own is often more costly than 1 month of a sub.

If you're a strava premium member, you can get a 2 month trial to audible.

I am a Strava premium member, it's basically a few select books to listen too for endurance spins.
My Mrs has an Audible account actually, must see can see download the titles I'm after.

Was watching a video on annoying cyclist behaviour and I heard a term I hadn't come across before. Salmon Cyclist, used for cyclists who are cycling the wrong way against traffic on one way streets.

It was coined by the great Bike Snob NYC. It, like many great coinings, filled a linguistic gap we didn't know we had.

Had raised the saddle on my roadbike a couple of mm a few weeks ago.

1st short spin told me it was trouble but forgot to adjust it back and was on different bikes until yesterday when I did a 100k with the saddle still too high.

Knee is cooked ðŸ˜¶

I was in Italy a few weeks ago and cyclists were cycling up one way streets all over the place. Drivers didn't seem bothered, seemed it was acceptable. Explained to my non cyclist dad that, in fairness, cyclists don't necessarily need to follow the exact same rules of the road as motorists - i.e it would be beneficial to have amendments that apply to cyclists only for the benefit of all road users. Not sure he understood (or didn't want to understand).

There was also no hi-viz or helmets (only helmets spotted were the athletes when we all started getting out / on race day)....

I always think of salmon as people cycling the wrong way in your lane - like you're cycling along the left-hand side of the road, and someone comes towards you on the same side of the road.

If it's acceptable and drivers know about it then it probably works. Francis St. in Dublin is one example of a street that cyclists consistently cycle the wrong way. I always look out for them when pulling out from side streets. A contra flow lane would be a good idea.

I did see a woman do it once with a child in a carrier on the back and a baby strapped to her front. Madness.

Anyone have any idea what's going on with 2Wheels on South William St? They've been closed for a few weeks and the place looks like it's being gutted.

They were very handy for me, Cliff was always a great man for sorting things out.

That's not great news, I had started using them for the things I was too lazy to do myself, great bunch of lads. I'd imagine rent on that place was outrageous though

Yeah, not great. Maybe they're just refurbing but I doubt it.

Fighting Tao · 10-10-2017 12:14PM

I believe that they are gone. They still have the place in Sandymount though.

Huge outlet there, it must have been a money pit. So Sth William St will be getting another shít bar or a Starbucks then

magicbastarder · 10-10-2017 01:09PM

there was a planning application sign for installation of an ATM on the window for months, which made me suspicious; they probably don't need planning to change it to a different type of shop, but an ATM install obviously requires PP.

Effects · 10-10-2017 06:18PM

Was in the place earlier. Rent went really high so they left. There was a bunch of components left there that people were going through. Crappy frames and some nice wheels in need of some attention or a bin.

Chips Lovell · 11-10-2017 10:42AM

Yeah, when it rains you really notice it. There was a day a few weeks ago and it was like someone had powerwashed the road through Castleknock with diesel.
