Cycling In Kilkenny
@cyclinginkilkenny
A person that walks, drives, cycles a bike & runs very long distances. Views expressed are my own.
if only there was some way to prevent human caused fire on Irish mountains. See below, Slievenamon this morning
Had somebody in Waterford almost hit me one night...despite my bike looking like this
15 years ago we started camping on a tiny budget and we started with the red tent on the left, now this is our current setup on the right 😀
Hauling rocks for work in our garden, hoping this is the last load
Oh I much prefer a front loader any day, I love my bakfiets But would have liked a rad power as a second family bike 😁... They were pretty cheap
Slievenamon, Co Tipperary on fire and a non road worthy trailer all in one shot. Both are avoidable.
Don't see many Rad Power Bikes in Ireland, shame they stopped selling in EU as I was tempted to buy one for my other half just before they stopped sales. Spotted this in Kilkenny City today.
Amazing that the Irish gov refuse to roll out 30km/he in all urban areas. But they are going to introduce yet more escooter rules which will be largely not enforced. Again, refusing to focus on the biggest killers and biggest source of life changing injuries on our roads (cars).
Clearly Supervalu didn't care about fire risks as they continue to sell disposable BBQs in Ireland. Personally I think they should in general.
Super proud of our little lad, he did 5miles cycling on the Greenway. No bother to him. 😁
Thanks, camping since 2008 so it's been built on for years with upgrades etc. Bought a trailer this year to make pack and transport easier. Finally could bring bikes and the kayak 😁
Currently camping and what's very notable this year compared to any previous year is the marked increase in EVs on the site. Previously you *might* see one, this year there's easily about 20 or more.
We share the roads with these people! When the video was first shared people were extremely quick to claim online that it was likely a medical incident resulting in their dangerous driving. Nope, the HGV driver was drink driving and very easily could have killed countless people!
The price of a 20TB hard drive on Amazon UK over the past 12 months, all thanks to AI.
Finally! I've been able to place an order for a steam controller.
Whats left of an old cobbled country lane which would have connected to Garryricken House, Co Kilkenny (Likely built sometime between 1750 and 1840's) I suspect this would outlast any tarmac lane we build now.
Our family spent time in Dublin yesterday, twice other passengers on the Luas were kind enough to give up a seat for our small child to sit. In both instances the people that gave up a seat were what the far right in Ireland would class as "immigrants". Perhaps its the kindness they hate?
Always enjoy seeing Cargobikes in the wild. This one was at St Stephens Green, Dublin.
Cycling along the River Barrow you see lots of native tree species lining the river bank, its lovely. But lurking behind them are plantations...not woodlands.
We're told time and time again that farmers play their part by protecting our rivers from livestock...yet I saw a number of occasions of this while cycling beside a canal and a river. This didn't happen yesterday
Always remember a tin roof on this house, it turns out they appear to have just covered a thatched roof with tin!
Trangia stoves really feel like they are indestructible, have this 18 years
It really is a cracking day for a long spin, not too hot and not too cold/breezy
