At the Malahide Road Fairview Last Week Car on the wrong side of the Traffic Island,It came down the Malahide Road on the Wrong side and Cars Blasted him out of it.

The Car Free Day last Thursday Week was just very Token as usual with just three Streets being Blocked off to Traffic instead of the Entire City. I was in the City at around 1.40 pm and went up to see what was happening in Drury Street and forgot about Sth William Street where there was more going on. I went back into Town that Night for the Open Air Film of the Tripplettes of Belville,That Quirky Funny French Cartoon Film about a Cycling Champion that was captured by the French Mafia set in the 1930ties. It was supposed to have Cyclists from the Audience supplying the Power for the Film by Pedaling on Bikes. Unfortunately after a very Hot Day it decided to Spill Rain in the Evening so it was shown in the Market Bar. The Sound was drowned out by the Crowd but it is mostly Silent anyway except for the Music so you could understand what was going on as well as Sub Titles. I enjoyed the Film,it was still very Hot especially in the Market Bar but it got very Cold again the next Day.

I was in the  Monthly Dublin Flea Market in Newmarket Square which also Incorporates the Food Co Op on Sunday last Week and bought a Bell and a nice Saddle Cover for my new Dawes Bike From Bespoke Cyclery which has a Stall in the Market. The only problem was the Handlebars is too Thick for the Bell Fitting and I had to find long Screws to finally get it on the Bike. I had the same Problem with a Light and I had to use Plastic Ties to attach it to the Bike. I got an Orange Bell as the Bike is Silver so a Chrome Bell would be just to much Silver.

I was in the Phoenix Park on Friday for a Spin Enjoying the Autumn Sun and Stopped at this Picnic Table  for some Bananas and Water to keep up my Strength for Cycling. The Weather Changed for the Worse on Saturday and nothing but Torrential Rain since then .
I got my Groceries on Wednesday on My Dutch Bike Gerty and this is the Load I brought Home in the Two Panniers.
