    Jesus, my heart chilled when the bus went "bump" over something - what was it, his bike?

    London 6 day is back on. The pace they go around behind those derneys is incredible. I reckon they are averaging just shy of 70 km/h and hitting 75 or more on occasions

    Was watching it the other day, and with no clue really about track racing, got sucked in. A few german guys had absolutely magnificently looking Look bikes (to my eye anyway)

    At £7k for frame alone I would hope they do add a bit of colour at least.....

    I do know one of the derny riders - not sure he'll take that as a compliment!! (Details of all riders including those with an engine underneath them are here)

    I had an interview the other day, it was very near my current abode so I thought I'd cycle it. Felt strange doing so in my sartorial splendor, but not as fantasically uncomfortable as I would expect. Wicklow 200 in a suit next year perhaps?

    Was there no ladies riding one ? Ha, it was late and I was tired, so maybe their helmets reminded me of my gran sitting under one of those big driers. I did go to bed soon after.

    Looking at the photos of the Derny riders I figure I must have been talking about Walter Huybrechts. Sorry Walter !

    Once again solid advice from the thinkbike mechanics pays off - good quality screwdrivers = essential workshop investment.

    No more Mr mushed limit screws.

    Some advice, please. I've bought a SpyBike http://integratedtrackers.com and need to buy a pay-as-you-go sim to use in it.

    The sim needs to be with a network that uses G2, preferably both in Ireland and in Britain (which probably cuts out 3, which doesn't use G2 in Britain), and it needs to be the cheapest monthly deal I can get, while still having good coverage for data and texts.

    What sim should I buy?

    Meanwhile…

    Mrs RS was complaining of kidney pain this morning when I went out to do some work stuff.

    When I got home she had the breakfast ready including small drinking glasses pre-mixed with soluble "multivitamins" which 1. we ran out of midweek and 2. were a very familiar colour from looking down at the bike on spins.

    So two days of massively underdiluted electrolyte tabs then.

    On the club spin this morning, a Dad and son out for their own spin hit the deck about 200m in front of us. First the son, then the Dad. I thought it was oil on the road or something at first, but it seemed like the son got speedwobbles and came off, and the Dad in his panic skidded and fell. Poor kid was about 10 or 12, screaming, but seemed OK. I felt worse for the Dad, he was clearly morto when 12 guys all around his age rolled up in the full gear to see if they were alright.

    YES, THAT'S FINE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR STOPPING, WE'RE OK.

    While his son was still screaming and their bikes akimbo in the middle of the road. Shock is a hell of drug, we've all been there.

    I was disappointed to see a couple of guys just ride around them first before we all stopped :-/

    ?????

    People do mad things in groupthink.

    I was walking along the metals today at Seapoint with my aged dog, who loves a chance to hobble along off-lead when there are no cars around, when a cyclist coming far too fast came straight for her.

    I jumped to hold her so that he'd have to mow down a human too, and he yelled "Put it on a leash!"

    Won't reveal what I yelled after his disappearing bottom.

    Was your dog on the road or cycle lane?

    The Metals is neither

    It's also not a place to be flying.

    The Metals is a pedestrian path between the chainlink fence bordering the railway line and the tall wall behind the seashore at Seapoint. I don't think you're really supposed to cycle there at all, but most people don't mind if you don't go too fast.
