The ginger cake turned out delicious, thanks @triploidtree ! The bike maintenance is a bit more effort than sitting about drinking tea and eating cake...
Pop by for our open social in a bit. Hoping the rain stays away or at least light enough to pull the outdoor oven out 🤞

@sinabhfuil Definitely, I think so - although a mere Jackeen, I think https://www.bikeshare.ie/ should be in each city in the country, as well as all major towns, and all rail line interchanges.
In this case yesterday, I was in Athlone, which is home to a TUS campus (fka Athlone IT).
There, I had to use a private bike share scheme, and a company I'm not fond of but which appears to have the monopoly on this location.
