#cycleIreland

2025-05-03

Me with my new vehicle. It's a Fiido D11 folding ebike and it's perfect for my car free lifestyle. I'm just back from visiting my parents in Waterford and, for the first time ever, I didn't need a lift or a taxi from the train station.

They live on the Dunmore road, which means a long climb to Ardkeen, then a steep hill down (I hit 45Kmph on the way down). The battery made going to and from the train easy and I was faster than a car over the whole journey. #cycling #cycleIreland #ebike

A man, facing the camera, standing behind a blue bicycle. His left hand is in the saddle, his right on the handlebars. 
The bike is a Fiido D11 and might look a bit small for him. (Such is the nature of folding bikes).
Behind him is a wall, a bit of a shed and a sliver of blue sky. He is partially bathed in sunlight. 
He is wearing a t-shirt with the words "Do not look to the dice to save you, they are not your friends," Woven between a selection of polyhedral dice, all showing the worst possible result.

Today I returned my #RadRunner back to stock before I sell it. Well, almost. I've decided to leave the whitewall tyres on it because a) they look great on the green frame, and b) they are a complete pain to remove.

Why am I selling it? I thought it was time for an upgrade! #ebike #cycleIreland #Rothardon

#biketoot When filtering in traffic, should I stay on the left hand side of the road, between curb and cars, or is it legal to move to the outside (assuming there's room to do it without crossing the centre white line)? #cycleIreland #cycle

#BikeToot Puncture repair gave me the opportunity to swap the front pads on my #RadRunner #ebike. Old pads had about 4000km of wear on them, replacement pads are Nukeproof semimetallic. #cycleIreland

#BikeTooter. After cycling through the rain and the dark this week it was time to give the #RadRunner some love. Tweaked the brakes, cleaned and lubed the chain, and installed a small bar end mirror. #cycleIreland #andACyclist #Mastodaoine
