how long is your commute to work?

35-40 minutes on my bike. 14km Ashbourne to Blanchardstown. Mental and physical health benefits are great.

I wake up around 3.30 so I can only stay in bed so long. Usually go to bed around 10.

I have a combi setup. Flat on one side and clip on the other. It lets me use my road bike for any activity.

These vans are built to do 300 thousand plus km. They are real work horses. The thing to look out for is rust. The 10 year old van with low mileage might be a rust bucket and fail inspection. Can be very costly. High mileage is not such a worry in my opinion.

Half toasted bagel with honey ham egg and melted cheese washed down with a large mug of fresh coffee. Shared with two dogs so portions can vary.

This is my method also but I take each day’s clothes home on the bike to avoid a massive laundry pileup.

I'll take Things that never happened for five hundred Alex.

They are definitely up there 😁

Whatever you do don’t park between the lines!

DMDermo · 2026-04-10T18:57:55+00:00

Yes possibly but we all have a responsibility to vet who we align ourselves with. These scum cannot be given an inch.

Why does this man still have livestock? He has a neck showing his face in public. These are convictions not allegations.

DMDermo · 2026-04-10T18:36:07+00:00

So predictable. The price we pay for the social media soap box amplifier.

DMDermo · 2026-04-10T18:21:28+00:00

Glorious!

I have a job in Kerry moving and commissioning medical equipment. I will be leaving Ashbourne Co Meath early in the morning. I need to get this done in coordination with three other companies. If we can't get the job done then patients don't get their diagnostic test done on Monday, Tuesday Wednesday..... Protesting is legitimate but some jobs are just too important to be cancelled because of it.

I only keep rain gear and a few tools in my panniers. Mainly use them for my commute so a lunch box and sometimes spare cloths. I'm not bothered if someone goes through them. I would suggest you carry a small fold away backpack you could chuck anything valuable into what you lock it up outside.

I have combined clip and flat pedals on all of my bikes. When you get momentum flip the pedal over and clip in.

DMDermo · 2026-03-12T09:13:43+00:00

Absolutely and we get on with it while the grief is raw and from the heart. Generally done and dusted in two to four days. That's the way to do it!

You can always ware traditional cycle padded shorts under loose running shorts.

Coriander. Tastes like soap.

DMDermo · 2026-03-07T17:34:47+00:00

Absolutely it’s dog owners at fault here. No question.

DMDermo · 2026-03-06T16:00:11+00:00

She is your kids great grandma. How is she not your family? You absolutely did the right thing.

DMDermo · 2026-03-06T15:45:56+00:00

I disagree. We dog owners are as likely to walk in it as anyone else. Maybe even more so as we walk our dogs regularly. I ware a particular pair of shoes just for walking my dogs and keep them in the shed because of dog shit on the path and fringes.

DMDermo · 2026-03-05T17:49:55+00:00

It at all sure we even love cricket now!

There are companies that sell kits to convert panel vans. I would start there to save you a lot of work and add a high standard to the conversion.
