Thank you "Kittens". This is very helpful. I'll consider entry to Ireland via Dublin as alternative to Rosslare and Belfast. With your help, I celebrated my 70th last month...
Thank you for your kind words. It always amazes me how some seniors are so active and energetic, and even keeping better health than 20s or 30s people 😅 The Greenways and country side roads in Ireland are perfect for the scenic road cycling, but you know, when the weather permits. Cheers and happy 70th birthday!
Hi, for road cycling I only cycle places that are rural enough to leave my bike out. e.g. countryside pubs & cafes. For town & city cycling I always bring my brompton and carry it with me into the building.
@@jefflawrie1073 I’d lock it up if it was in city centres. But still… I almost never stop my roadbike at city. The places I stop on my roadbikes are always rural villages & natural landscape where it’s almost 0% of your bike being stolen. Additionally, the golden rule here is even though you park your bike outside, you should always keep it in your line of sight. e.g. glass windows. If you want to do a fully fledged city tours then road bike would be a wrong choice. A folding bike or public transportation will be a much better option.

I haven't been down there yet but after watching your video I'm going tomorrow cheers
Make sure to bring warm gears with you. Tomorrow’s going to be cold 🥶
Love your cycling videos. Do you carry a lock with you when you go on your cycling tours? What do you do with your bike when you stop for a meal?

@@kittens103 do you always lock the bike when you leave it outside? I’d be worried someone would try steal it
