    I regularly hear one elderly lady in Portobello telling cyclists "No cycling on this path" as they ignore en-mass the perplexing cycle free section canal at Portobello.

    I don't cycle on it, because it's for pedestrians; the only real disincentive to using the road like a grown up is the section of one way street at the end, and the fact that Portobello road is often blocked by cars.

    It's pretty clear that the reason this section isn't cycle track is that they couldn't make space for pedestrians off the canal without pedestrianizing Portobello road.

    But I'm still firmly of the opinion that cycling on a footpath, especially one with big no cycling signs on it, is dickish and wrong. So I sympathize with the lady not wanting to have hardcore extreme athlete commuter warriors who are too lazy/afraid to go around on the road zipping around her.

    Several posts deleted. If you want to make negative remarks about someone who's just won a defamation action (of all things), please don't do so on this website.

    Think before you post folks.

    Thanks

    Is it just me, or has there been a problem with Boards.ie today?

    Blame "DDoS"ers;)

    There's a thread in Feedback, and another here, although I suspect the latter is unlikely to go into the cause too deeply

    A bit more about them here

    Over 2 grand debited from my bank account from Canyon presumably for a bike which I ordered back in October and subsequently cancelled!

    Would never deal with this shower again. Unbelievably bad

    Anyone know off hand if there is a general standard length of a compression bung for carbon steerers? I know we've had the spacers above and below the stem conversation before but rather than take it out and measure has anyone got an idea if they tend to be a standard X length?

    I've been quietly lobbying my dad to N+1 with a Croix De Fer type bike for winter/bumpy Wicklow roads...even though he has stated that his current fleet (Boardman team carbon on Zondas, and a Carrera Zelos that lives on the Turbo) is more than accurate.

    Given the probability that I'm just trying to Vicariously N+1 does this make me a bad person?

    PS: The Verenti Substance 105 looks pretty nice.

    No, of course not, you're a good person.
    I have 4 1/2 bikes. If it weren't for my sons, I probably would have been quite happy with 1, or 2 at most. I am now a much happier and poorer person.
    Keep up the good work.

    "Cyclist photographed carrying child on back without helmet through peak hour Sydney traffic"

    What an idiot! Everyone knows you should portage the child on your shoulders. Much less strain on the back.

    Whatever about the child, his sock length is an outrage.

    Bike thieves are getting younger and younger. Persistent little bugger, I wonder how long he had him in that chokehold before he gave up the bike.
