    Just a normal person, re-using the bags so he won't harm the planet and using a bike to help the environment.

    People drop out or are pushed out for a million reasons and ironically some of them don't beg money, are quite happy and resourceful .

    Just three weeks ago during that snowy spell I picked up a middle aged hobo in Swords who was hitching north and just needed a ride to the Lusk service station on the M1 , small talk and 10 minutes later having dropped him off I had learned he was on skid row and was taking advantage of the free shower in the newly opened service station.

    Strange ! he had a Lidl bag .......Could it be that I crossed into the Twilight Zone .

    Ha! I've seen that dude a good few times on the new link road from Rosehall to Hill of Rath roundabout...
    Always has tonnes of Lidl bags hanging off his handlebars!

    Yeah I've seen that guy a good few times hanging in and around the old dump when it was there.
    It kinda struck me as odd how young he is but he carries on like a tramp from an era gone by.
    Maybe he's loaded and has us all fooled!
