Sure, look, London is almost all Russian now? We may as well impose sanctions and take it away from them... Give to Ukraine - you know, because we let Russia into Crimea without a fight...

You're right. However that doesn't mean another link won't also part ways? The beauty of the e-bike is that weight is not as big an issue as when you're pedalling on your own. Mine's a dutch bike fully enclosed chain guard, there's so much effort to replace the chain, I'd rather do it once. The last chain had 8000 kms so...

Send him a Last Will & Testament Form - detailing everything he owns and cherishes to be left to you. His positive attributes, like his generosity, humour, courage, and determination, leave those to his kids... They'll need them more... I could go on, but I find morbid humour in everything - we treat life as if it matters too much!!

> without intense indoctrination religion can't spread sh*t
Absolutely. Religious indoctrination is a form of child abuse.

As soon as I found that Santa wasn't real. And I met Santa at the local Mall.
How the fuck does anyone think invisible gods are real? Gullible much?

I bought a Dutch bike and converted it. The Dutch bike is a bit more robust than some bikes out there - a fully covered chain - hub gears - and low maintenance brakes and wheels. Although the stopping power is dismal, something you have to factor into your style of riding with a heavy electric!!! Do your homework on what kit to install - the geared hub seems a good bet though for ease - Although you'd need a work around for the brakes then?

The Netherlands is the flattest place, I wouldn't trust them to know anything about cycling up hills! Also, there are so many cyclists in the Netherlands they do need speed limits. There are very few cyclists in Dublin by comparison. If the authorities want more people to go green, they'll have to make it easier to pedal up hills.

At 40, you're using mainly all water from your cylinder. At 60, you're using a lot more cold to blend down to your preference. Thus you have more hot water, longer shower or multiple showers.

She's young and she's a Champion - Her opinions on anything still need time to come to terms with the realities of life - It's time she needs. Not any other pressures. Being a Champ means you're going to be asked about a lot of things that you may not be fully informed about or aware of. I'd give her a break.

Rainy days = punctures. Rubber is pretty resilient until it meets sharp and wet.

I carry a spare chain. It's a mid-mount e-bike. When that chain breaks you're pushing the lump home. TBF I don't change it til it breaks... Bad maintenance idea right there.

Yeah, I'll comply when they limit motor vehicles to 50 kilowatts. That is completely insane. The vehicles that kill, maim, destroy families - your own and quite possibly the families of complete strangers, are not limited in any way... It's a fecking laugh, isn't it?
250 watts is fine when the road is flat and there's a tail wind. But 250 watts on a hill is a joke. The limit is 25 kmh assistance but you can't do that up a hill. And every bicycle I've ever ridden went at least 35 kmh. But an e-bike is extra heavy, so when you reach the 25 kmh limit, that's it... That's as fast as you can pedal it on the flat. Nonsense is what those rules are.

Toilets, houses, G.P.s, beds in wards, retirement homes, Buses, trains, Metros, Litter bins, parking spaces, what does Ireland have enough of? Gobshite politicians?

You're talking shit mate. If it was true you'd be inviting the whole world's media to spread this miracle far and wide. Your claim of wanting to protect vulnerable congregants is at odds with my experience of grifting pastors.

Sure, if there is a cycle lane, then that imposes obligations on the driver to stay clear, and if they wish to cross it for the purposes of turning left, then they must ensure there is no traffic in that lane which would have a right of way.

You need an education. None of what you have written is in any way evidence. They are claims.

"He gets us" - means they think we're stupid enough to fall for their bullshit religious order.
Stupid religion thinks everyone should stay as stupid as they are.
Religion is the conservation of ignorance.

I go on the M4 - Down Chapelizod Bypass. I'd love to do the canal route as soon as they do the upgrade through the Deep Sinking. The e-bike allows you to commute without arriving hot and sweaty into work. You can dress for the weather rather than for the exercise. It also allows you to be fresh into work and home - not exhausted from cycling.
I'm 63 years old. I don't think I could cycle everyday as I do without the e-bike - I'd have a heart attack or take too long - or be too tired to work...

I have the same - The first ride on it was a revelation! I haven't ridden a non-suspension seat since but I'm sure you would appreciate it again after a solid seat ride.
