Give a man a fish, he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish, he will eat every day. Teach a man to ride a bicycle and he will realise how boring fishing is.

I was knocked off my bike this morning at the Stocking Lane/Stocking Avenue roundabout in a hit and run. Garda don’t think there’s any cctv there so I’m hoping if anyone hears anything (or the driver sees this) they do the right thing and get it touch. @IrishCycle
