We went to the park. While there, it thundered down. Washing was sodden on my return so I just threw it all in the bin as I don’t have a mangle.

I’m more interested in how quickly an ELECTRIC Car burst into flames. I take it the batteries are the same type that grounded the 787

Kenny U-Vox Plank
Preposterous article by Conor Pope on biking – the number 1 reason to do it is to promote gender equality.
What an agenda-ridden POS the Irish Times has become.

Well, I agree it’s a little strange to frame it as a reason here in 2017, but it inarguably had a huge impact on the independence of women in the early (and middle) Twentieth Century in rural Ireland.
Kenny U-Vox Plank
Unless they were riding the Mauser Urban Special with Carbon Wheels and Basket, no, it didn’t.
But I agree with you in today’s context. Surely driving a car is a better expression of equality than a crappy bike. They don’t make special cars for women’s “geometry”.
As for the losing weigh argument. Well, that’s a joke from the likes of Pope.
Grouse
I’m not pushing any kind of controversial agenda here, Kenny. These are just the experiences of our grandmothers and great grandmothers. If there was a motor vehicle or cart owned by the family, it certainly wasn’t available first and foremost to the woman of the house. The bicycle gave women a freedom, both inside and outside marriage, to travel miles in an hour, visit neighbours, visit their own family after marrying into another, travel to surrounding villages. It opened up the social landscape for people in rural areas immeasurably, which of course improved the lives of anybody who would previously have been confined to a domestic role in a remote area.

That would have been a fine Irish Times article 100 years ago. Dublin Bikes isn’t.

Regardless, Pope should get a tandem with Mullally. She’s never off the identification politics bike.

Richard Hammond looks increasingly like Al Pacino, circa ‘Scent of a Woman’.
