[Leica] IMGs: Dublin x 8

[Douglas Barry]

And even more ironically, Jayanand, I have five bicycles of my own at the 
moment, but forgot - in my hurry - to throw the little fold-up into the car, 
so had to use a City Bike. The problem with them is they're a universal 
design for both men and women of all sizes, but it's always a squeeze for 
me, as riding them, I feel my arse is sitting on the handlebars. But in a 
congested city and with only a 3k trip to do, they beat everything, and 
they're free for the first half an hour. 20 quid for the card is a bargain.
