It’s been a while.

But the ‘Cycling With…’ guys are back.

And they’ve found a controversial anti-helmet wheeler.

Paddy Cahill, Of ‘Cycling With…’ writes;

Cian is a self-confessed cycling nerd. He works as a journalist with a focus on urban cycling stories.We went for a cycle with Cian to hear his view on some of the contentious arguments around cycling such as the ongoing helmet debate, and to hear his opinions on the many benefits of cycling.
We will be filming more videos in Dublin in March and we’d love to hear any suggestions people have for good cycling interviewees.

 A chance to see nine of the ten acts nominated for Irish album of the year 2012 play a few songs each topped by the announcement of the winner of a €10k novelty cheque. One of the few gigs you can put a bet down on proceedings. Always hard to predict a winner, Delorentos’ album Little Sparks are current favourites but Windings would be a good bet. Would love to see Mumblin Deaf Ro win it. There’s a very strong possibility that Julie Feeney will be wearing a novelty hat and bewildering audience members with her performance.
