    The one time I had to get taken off in an ambulance I didn't want to leave the bike but for someone reason they wouldn't let me take it along:confused:. The guys in the ambulance did go back afterwards and bring the bike to the nearest garda station which was really good of them. Not that someone was going to cycle away on it, needed new forks and front wheel.

    Saw someone in Boards shorts cycling through Rathfarnham at about 6:15 this evening.
    He was cycling on the footpath. Tut tut.
    I thought the unwritten rule was to only break the law in your Aldi/Lidl cycling gear.

    If it was along the quay's waiting to turn right at Jury's, it was probably me again.

    Just leave your boards jersey wrapped around it. If one of us come across it, we'll pick it up and look after it for you:)

    Someone at the scene of my accident very kindly took my bike to his house. I cannot remember anything about it, but when I was in hospital one of the ambulancemen mentioned the details of the guy were on a piece of paper in my bag. He even called the hospital to check how I was.
    Needless to say I was very thankful for his kind help.

    Finally! Was he wearing a beige hat, 3/4 length shorts and had a dark bike with rear rack?

    I'm just glad I was spotted, it's taken a long time. Bloody freezing last night too, and my rear light failed on the way home.

    I was going to PM you about your lack of a post, I was really getting worked up about it.

    You may rebuild the shrine!

    I was in a car. You passed us a few times at the various traffic lights. Was my first boards jersey, they actually look decent. Yours was wedged with water bottles!

    This evening at 4.10pm on the Nangor road near Grange Castle. You were heading towards Clondalkin, I was Celbridge bound. Only noticed the jersey as we passed, so shouted "Hi Boardsie" over my right shoulder.

    Just read the previous page after I had posted and saw this. Yeah that was me in the red jacket. Odd that Quint spotted you at 3.20 and I passed you at 4.10 on the same road :confused:. Pretty sure I have the time correct.

    Nearly forgot a sighting this morning - turning off O'Connell Bridge onto Eden Quay this morning, 08.25/08.30. Pulled up just ahead of me at a red light there. I was going to say hello when they overtook me on Eden Quay... but it never happened. Someone on a go-slow day, considering I was on my crappy old commuting bike? :D

    Ah that was you? Yeah on a Monday morning go-slow. You took off like a rocket and I was far too lazy for that. I was considering giving chase, but then the lights went red. :)

    My road bike is still out of service (got around to starting repairs last night), but I was hoping for at least something resembling a race! :) Next time!

    Not strictly speaking a Boards Jersey Sighting cos I haven't got around to getting one yet (decided to get one last time round but had missed the deadline by a few days!), but there I was, stopped at the lights around High Street/Vicar Street and I hears a loud whistle. There's Unionman waving at me from across the road! I waved and pointed back at his Boards Shorts (cos I couldn't see his jersey), so hopefully he didn't think I was pointing in some kind of rude fashion!

    I'd say we'd have room so you could probably join us. You're only a skinny yoke after all! :D

    Does meeting a boardsie count?

    A certain newly-wed on a red specialized whizzed by on the Clontarf cycle path this evening. I gave chase and caught him courtesy of the red lights at the Bull Island causeway. Nice to meet somebody for a change...
