Pokemon muppets

Out for a spin the weekend and had two separate incidents in the same spin of youngfells walking on to the road right in my path wigh their faces planted in there phone. First got a shout. Second got a few f bombs. Anyone else coming across this? Got to think it's this pokemon crap which I don't really understand but I gather you wander around chasing virtual creatures. In my day we just chased after girls, didn't get any mind you ;-)

Being on the bike is a great way to hit up a load of Pokestops in a short space of time.

sooner or later one of these space cadets will be hit and killed by a car

if garmin played their cards right they could work their varia vision technology into some sort of road-bike pokemon hunting set up.

One of my kids has been getting a hell of a lot of exercise and is starting to show a lot more interest in cycling on the back of this. Reckon I'll have her racing next season at this rate

I'm pretty sure people were walking around staring at their phones long before Pokemon Go.

A former boss of mine used to watch Eastenders on her IPad while she DROVE to work.

Sooner or later, one of these space cadets will hit and kill someone while driving a car. Though I did hear that the game cuts out once you go over a certain speed - can anyone confirm this?


Mmmm, doesn't seem to be impossible to play while driving;

Nope the game doesnt cut out, it just doesnt register towards your distance counted when you go over approx 10mph.

Have seen 3 cyclists in the last week stopped at the kerb in the cycle lane along Wolfe Tone quay by the Croppies, all trying to catch something. One that stopped suddenly to whip the phone out almost taking out a few people behind him.

Must be a hotspot for something decent.

An even more fun way of getting some exercise

Don't know which is worse watching EastEnders or being distracted while driving.ðŸ˜
