Some cyclists are also missing legs.

I'd be more concerned about the floating jerseys tbh

I couldn't tell you tbh, I've been riding on it for 2-3 weeks. Possibly hit a pothole with fully load panniers from the weekly shop. I'm only wee myself, so I don't think it was my fault!

Ashbourne Gardai had a bike stamping day last week, and I see this initiative in Dublin City Centre now. Although the cynic would say the initiative should be in preventing bikes being stolen.

Bit of an odd partnership with the Royal College of Surgeons, unless they're eyeing up potential customers.

What does this always seem to happen in the past? "we won't tell anyone what we're going to do but we'll tell everyone after we've been".

"Blue Bike" sounds like a condition you'd get from not getting out on enough spins.

Ha, exactly my thoughts at the time. I didn't see it until the next day, had I know I probably would have availed of it. Never heard anything about it before it actually happened.

Took the Luas into town and back today, it's no wonder Dublin people won't leave the car at home if this is the alternative. Either the standard of driving is dropping or there are maintenance concerns, I was flung around the place all the way in and all the way back

The College of surgeons includes the Faculty of sports and exercise medicine. Promoting healthy living and exercise is a vital part of its mission.

They would also have alot of students who I imagine are some of the key reporters of stolen bikes considering how poorly they seem to lock them up.

Seen a student in UCD lock up their bike with a flimsy cable lock and just leave their large kryptonite clipped onto the frame.

They have a Faculty of physiotherapy, a school of nursing as well as a medical school.
A Fellow of the college can use FFSEM(rcsi) after their name

Is that one of the fields when tagging your bicycle with the Gardaí?

Rad do some awesome races, but that one seems to be more timid tbh. If you really want a great take on the Devil, Wolfpack Hustle's All Out War is a great one:

the green line does a little jink at the bottom of Stephens green when coming from Dawson st, if you're not holding on to something you'll end up either smacking you head off something or on top of someone

One of my friends got the public art commission for the new place, I missed the opening and now you can't get in to see it boo!

This secure bike parking, would it be reachable to the general public by any chance?...

Afraid not, staff or student card needed!

If you want to see the new building you could express interest in doing a course here and get a tour

Wouldn't be very secure then if it were to be accessible to the great unwashed.

There are, I'm told, a few towns in the USA called "Blue Ball". I think some people wanted relief from all the Bethlehems and Jerusalems in New England. And relief of another kind, potentially.
