Fair play to Wexford Bus for joining the initiative. Ten points for the first person who gets squeezed out of it by one of them though.

Does anyone have recent experience with landing & cycling away from Dublin Airport?

I've two friends landing in on Friday, and our car will only fit their bike boxes and luggage and one passenger, so I'm looking at cycling back after helping assembling one of their bikes whilst my better half brings the heavier stuff. I've seen word of a bike assembly area, and I'll have all my own tools/pump, but just want to make it as convenient as possible for the jet lagged.

I just assembled mine in a corner of the baggage hall. Nobody asked what I was doing or arrested me or anything...

Ah, the Seal of Approval itself!

Thank you, seal.

Oh the irony. They are the worst of a bad bunch for cutting me off, squeezing me out, specialising in punishment passes on the n11.

Are they part of initiative, though? Isn't it just paid advertising?

There is an official bike assembly area in the centre mall of the short term car parks. It's on the ground floor and on the right hand side as you enter from the terminal end (Under the travelator which brings you up to the first floor).

It does say "proudly supported by Wexford Bus" underneath but perhaps they say that for all advertising.

Anyone here use the BodyGLide stuff? If so is there a difference between the Chamois and Anti-Chafe balms? I was sent the latter by mistake, having ordered the former which I've used before.

I've used Bodyglide before and it's does what it's suppose to, for both cycling and running, and for both in the same event. I've never actually used chamois cream though.

But that's it right, you never tested it in water or anything like that, prior to the other two. It's not like we are going to have to put you on the ignore list or anything like that, not like that other poster.

ThisRegard

In my full defence, I used it for the likes of Gael Force, the Achill and Wicklow adventure races, that type of stuff, where you get yourself dirty so aren't too concerned about fancy suits and stuff.

I've never gone full tri {spit}.

Jaysus, Weepsie. Are you getting dolled up for a night out or going for a spin?

Paid advertising by who? Staying alive? No, pretty sure they don't pay for that.

Owning and wearing slippers in this weather is certainly a sign of being an oul lad anyway, are they those tartan type?
