    I was around Enniskerry today (took the MTB) - main roads were generally fine but backroads very dodgy! Saw one chap on a road bike up around the Leadmines .... he fell once while I was watching and I’d guess a few more times too! Crazy!

    I live by the coast and yesterday ice on grass never melted in the garden, no ice visible this morning, so good to go I reckon

    Nice to get out this morning after a week of walking instead of cycling - the weighing scales tells that the walking doesn't really do it for me.

    Are we through the icy spell now?

    Normality has been restored. Roads not icy just wet and filthy, runners in bike lanes and cars not giving 2mm of space never mind 2 meters.

    Itching to get back up to the Park again but then saw this in this morning's Irish Times:
    "Prof Deasy said the public needed to reduce regular activity that may put them at risk so hospitals can cope with the surge in critical care treatment required to manage emergency coronavirus cases and urgent cancer care.
    'We are still seeing people falling off ladders and bicycles, and slipping on ice so we need people to be very mindfull' he said, warning that healthcare services were compromised "
    i can expect this message to get louder and louder over the coming days, despite the lack of ice. i'd say hospital is the last place you'll want to be soon, and one of the easiest ways of catching the pox.

    Could well be a bit of a clampdown on various activities like cycling will become a bit antisocial to be brought to hospital after falling off a bike during a leisure spin .Am sure a few were in a&e over the last few days from a range of weekend pursuits sporting or D I Y .

    There is an elevated risk of falls when it's icy, but I suppose it depends on how much cycling you do and what type.

    I seem to fall off the bike about once every 80,000km, so it's not really an activity that carries a high risk of me going to the hospital.

    (All just utility stuff; no sporting stuff, no off-road)

    I doubt its on anyone's radar unless loads of people take up extreme mountain biking all of a sudden :pac:

    Haven't been on the bile this year yet, between the state of the roads for the past week (all the backroads were sheets of black ice where the sun didn't hit - and that's on the coast), and resting up a sprained ankle after going down in some mud walking the dog during the break.

    Despite not having a fall resulting in much more than injuries to pride for the past decade, I'm minded with the current situation in hospitals (on the back of the Claire Byrne show last night if nothing else) to get the turbo back out for the duration. I'm sick to the teeth of my 5km semi-circle at this stage anyway, and my previous strategy of taking an hour when the kids left for school is now up the swanee

    Went upstairs to get changed into cycling gear, came back down in my slippers and currently deciding if it's too early to open a beer.

    Wimp....

    3 of my friends were also also born today. Only the best people arrived today!

    And it's the day most people give up on their new year's resolutions. Here's to failure! :D
