Isn’t she lovely?

I hate Cyclists*

Dear Irish based Cyclist. That yoke I am sitting in is a mobility scooter for people with disabilities/walking difficulties. You are supposed to be on the road or on the cycle path – I am on the footpath. When I cross the road and the man is green and beeps go or indeed am on [...]

I did my first wheelie in the mothership the other day. It was not intentional – but the ramp into Easons in O’Connell Street is absolutely shite. It’s the first time I’ve been on two wheels rather than four getting round a corner and it was rather cool! But I don’t think it’s my introduction [...]
