At least i'm not the only cyclist around these parts:D

Add me in, I'd cycle a 33 mile round trip 2-3 days a week. Saves me 20-25 euro a week.

Is that for work?

I couldn't cope with the aftermath of how I'd look, think Wurzel Gummidge covered in sweat, no shower could restore me to acceptable human appearance levels

Thanks for all the chat/advice guys, much appreciated

I'm the same about post 04 VAGs was lucky enough to have a 99 golf and 00 bora when they came out, then I drove my mothers 1.4 Octavia, put me off them for life.

They just lost the plot. Audis completely went off for me with the change to A4/A6 instead of Audi 80/100/200. I do own a Audi 200 Quattro Avant though Proper job. On the VW side they lost the plot after the Mk4 Golf or the T4 Caravelle/Transporter.

The B18 engine that's gone in isn't a TypeR engine, I'd say with breathing mods and a healthy engine it's sitting around 175BHP

Those Civics are just go-karts for the road, I enjoy mine which would have a similar power output to the one above

Thanks was waiting for your reply

College. And there is showers at both ends. Makes it tolerable. Its a decent commute except for the hectic fonthill/liffey valley roundabout in the morning.

I've just too much rubbish (laptop and up to 2 stone in books, clothes/shoes ) to cart around, not to mention the mountain of cosmetics I'd need.

I used be very fit, but as I've gotten older I've gotten lazier!

@ Marlow, I'd considerable laughs at a cyclist who jumped the lights recently being pulled by a cop! He then argued, and spent a long time being delayed.

Nice. Looks in great condition.

An irony? If I leave my house five minutes earlier, then I get into work 15-20 minutes earlier than if I left five minutes later and took the express bus (i.e. the one that doesn't stop after it leaves where I live)

Leave work at any time and I get home in the same if less time.

And I work in the city centre.

Failure of public transport?

My wheels when the car is at home

It's a grand bike, it's older then i am too. It's a touring frameset so it's the ideal commuter, plenty of room for panniers and study wheels to take my lard ass :-P

Mizen to malin is a pipe dream at the moment, need to get fitter:-D


Lights are always good even with the huge stretch in the evenings now
