    Just watching cycling on Eurosport. Seeing Sam Bennett in the front group along with the likes of Cavendish. Thinking maybe we need to roll out the seasonal sticky again, then realised Cav was in last year's team gear:o

    Anyway, switched over to Radio 5 Live now to listen to something a little more current....

    Anyone know if there's an online equivalent of the Cycling Ireland calendar for running races?

    Further to my belated discovery that these panels on pedestrian crossings are for the visually impaired, here is an elaborate crossing:

    378709.jpg

    To your right: bike lane, then two lanes of motorised traffic
    To your left: three lanes of motorised traffic, and then a bike lane
    Your destination: a pedestrian island

    Obviously, a lovely road.

    Anyone care to hazard a guess what road?

    South Dublin.

    - Glasgow Argus, June 9, 1842- arguably the first court decision applying safety law to the bicycle.


    Came across this while looking for articles on amateur sport for work from an article called "The impact of the sport of bicycle riding on safety law"

    Thought it worth sharing
    When I was a youngster, I had a book about the history of cycling and it said that the child had died in that accident and hence the reason why Macmillan never really pursued his invention or got adequate credit for it. (The book even had an artist's impression of the accident).

    I got another bike, I have it hidden in work, I am not sure how to tell my OH, so it is to become a semi-permanent fixture in my office, also means I will have to ride to work after track to drop off the bike and ride home on my other bike.

    If only cyclists OHs appreciated how unlikely affairs are for us.

    I mean, giving up more bicycle time and probably money for a second relationship with a puny human? Get real

    This popped up in work over coffee a few weeks ago, and we were talking about people we know who have had affairs. The first point was how stupid they all must be to let it become such public knowledge but my resounding point, as a parent with a small child, wasn't the moral quandry of it all but that I found the idea preposterous.

    The idea that a parent would have the energy or time to sleep with someone else is insane, if I did have an affair, I would be asleep as soon as I got into the bed, it would be pretty tame, I certainly wouldn't talk to the other person or even interact with them, I would just sleep.

    If your having an affair and a parent of a small child, you are either on PEDs or a terrible parent, because that is the only way it could possible work.

    I might have an affair with myself one day where I book a hotel room and stay there for a few hours to sleep.

    I presume motorbikes are not allowed use on-road cycle lanes? I've been getting caught up by numpties riding motorbikes using bike lanes for the last while along the grand canal. Very frustrating!

    No, it rarely bothers me as they are usually nippy enough but then sometimes you get a numpty either going really slowly with no room to pass or even worse, the ones who skim past you between the car and yourself and nearly cream you out of it.

    Dashed white line, you can drive in them. Solid white line you can't.

    But can a motorbike use them as a lane in traffic for filtering? I'm talking as a cyclist now...

    My spin today brought me up to Garristown from the Swords Road, I turned right before just before the village to avoid the road through the village as its a shocker of a road. I took a little backroad which has a starva segment name 'Save your wheels and back, avoid Garristown'

    It's long been suspected that this is happening, but last night a truck was stopped leaving the country with up to €70,000 worth of stolen goods, including bicycles, and 3 Romanians were arrested.

    If shes too nice, then that's her problem, not yours. Buy the bike.

    Must be a new relationship. In a few months time she 'll be.. "would you feck off with those bikes already". Unless you bring her in the dark world of cycling. Actually do that, it's probably your only hope.
