Built with love.
Pinched with HATE.

I know you don’t usually do this but my bike (above) was robbed from out side my apartment on Harcourt Terrace [south city centre, Dublin 2]. I had built it myself and use it all the time. It was taken yesterday morning. I was waiting to see if it might have popped up on Adverts or Done Deal to no avail. Some details: It had a Kyrptonite lock attached and Raleigh badge at the front. Its a silver single speed bike. Red saddle and yellow handlebars. Paint job is brand new. It had broken but functional pedals and an improvised drop bolt on the brakes (which is not a good idea I know). I built it myself and I would really like it back. Thanks for listening…
Anyone?
Meanwhile…

Truck spotted in cycle lane on Thomas st [Dublin] last night. The driver actually checked to see what room he had left!!!
That picture looks like it was taken pretty late at night. Come on, they need to park somewhere while delivering and I’d much rather he parked in a cycle lane at night than in the middle of the road during the day.
More like, Bicycle painted in truck lane…..
Is that how the bike was locked? using a U-lock to a drainpipe?
Yes obriendj,
In hindsight not so smart.
Ah shoot man.
Check out this video to see how quickly they can get your bike with just a U lock on the crossbar.

It has happened to me so i know that feeling of loss when you get back and your bike is gone. Sick.
That’s crazy. How did they do that?
just like most bus-lanes, bicycle lanes are turned off after 19.00. Is there a sign saying this is a 24hr cycle lane?
that’s nonsense, where does it ever say that?
That be James St, that’s The Fountain Takeaway in red, beside Renegade Rentals
That truck is half on the footpath, which is an offense, and half in a dedicated cycle path with double yellow lines on the road part, another offense.
While some may think it’s ok, it not allowed as its a hazard to pedestrians and cyclists that is not necessary.
there is a parking bay about 5 meters further down from where there truck is actually parked.
