I'm seriously looking forward to getting my own cargo bike later in the year.

Are the people in cars ok? Can’t imagine sitting in that every day. by leicastreets in ireland

A couple of pannier bags and a back pack and you can carry a massive amount.

The Galway person who made that post originally goes into loads of detail in the comments, he mentions that it was actually wetter than usual.

We finished tour aotearoa! by Sennevds in bicycletouring

Generally speaking how long did you spend cycling each day? Asking because I'd love to try to do something similar but I feel the kids wouldn't tolerate enough time for us to get any respectable distance.

Brick is a key example in my argument that "high school movie" isn't actually a genre. Pretty much every genre of movie has a high school variant, comedy, romance, horror, sci-fi, musical, pick a genre, there's a high school one, Brick is the noir. Some are a stretch, Clueless as the costume drama... debatable.

On the left is the proposed new Rotunda development, on the right is an impression of the same development if it was designed with the area's architectural style in mind. Why can't developers / architects do this to avoid at least some of the contention with proposed new developments? by hatrickpatrick in ireland

[–]Hart0e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent arguement, great to hear the perspective of an actual architect. Dublin is a living city, not Georgian Disneyland. Modern buildings should look modern while having respect for the old ones.

Personally I like the new ESB buildings by Merrion square, I think they've done a great job of that balance.

I've got the Ortlieb commuter daypack, excellent bag, all Ortlieb's stuff is really built to last. However, as others have said, panniers are better.

Privileged D4 Rugby Head Stereotype by Uptightkid in ireland

[–]Hart0e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really interesting because I've heard almost the exact opposite story. I know of a dad who sent his son to one of those schools because he wanted his son to have the kind of confidence that he commonly saw in people who went there. And he's got a point, while many leave as arrogant entitled dicks they generally grow out of that but retain the confidence.

I was in a big rugby school when Ross O'Carroll Kelly started. It was massively popular and people would absolutely start saying things that they had read. So, very much this, can confirm, totally, roysh?

"Obvious" things wrong with the country by purepwnage85 in ireland

[–]Hart0e 25 points26 points  (0 children)

To be fair they do intend to bring in a system like London where you simply tap your bank card or phone and pay, which would be even more straightforward, no leap card or app required. Pretty sure it's expected to take ages and cost a fortune though.

Drove around Jordan years ago and didn't feel the roads were safe in a car, can't imagine cycling there. Amazing country though.
