    That was me, I was wondering who that was beeping. I was out doing a slow Shannapheasteen loop.
    Cool, what was the traffic like doing it at that time? Also how long does it take?

    Traffic wasn't great going out past Moycullen, lots of shoppers whizzing past quite close along the horrible narrow bumpy part; practically no traffic over Shannapheasteen; a bit of traffic from Spiddal on the way back (with a great tailwind). It took me about 3:30 which is at a fairly leisurely pace.

    Sorry for the delay in logging this one!

    Last Thursday (1st April) at 1720hrs (approx) - walking (yes walking!!!) with a bike from outside the JPII library over the pedestrian footbridge to the North Campus.

    I was having a coffee in the library and thought they'd ban me if I ran over and hammered on the window shouting "boards!!!"

    That was me Jawgap, was cycling from Rathcoffey direction to meet up with the OH on the north campus and decided to miss the town traffic and lights by cutting through the old college gates, decided to dismount at the footbridge because of the rusty no cycling signs and the mad-professor-looking types:)

    The bag makes a real difference when you get up over 30kph.

    No, I was waiting at the lights to cross over templeogue road, so would have been at your 3'oclock. Saw an Orwell(?) lad just about to burn you though as you set off :)

    Saw my first one of 2010 around an hour ago, going towards Terenure Village from Rathgar. Had some sort of pannier set-up going on.

    I'd say it was me again. Passed Yellow House and on to Nutgrove, Taney, Stillorgan etc.
    Was home at 3:15

    Thanks buffalo that was me :). It was the first time I had the chance to display it.

    For the rest of you, it's just a laminated A4 word doc. stating "Hi Boardsie Have a Nice Spin" which I keep handy in the car to hold up to the window if I'm in a situation like today. Gave the three beeps as well.

    I was just thinking later to personalise it. Something like.... "Hi Boardsie Jimm Hopes You Have a Nice Spin". That way the spotted can know the spotter.

    Sort of a Boards Jersey Sighting in reverse if you know what I mean.

    No rack, which side are you calling the back? Restaurant side? It's a singlespeed alright, funny colour, probably looks black though.

    If it was jeans and a boards jacket it was me inside the building.

    Not the restaurant side, the side near the track. Suppose I'll know if it's your bike on monday. The one I'm thinking of has spesh bits on it i think.
