Cyclists at the Conor Pass

Cyclist enjoying the view from the top of the Conor Pass on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland.

Greetings from Ireland

Visiting my in-laws in Ireland for two weeks. Bike spotting already! More mobile blogging to come.

Who ya gonna call?

This is probably the most intelligent ad I've seen so far on the Craigslist Bicycles page:

please look for my dog while riding your bike (n/ne philly)

please keep an eye out for my dog his name is old bill (answers to bill) he is probably scared, and very sweet my wife and i are extremely worried if you see him please call xxx-xxx-xxxx thanks

Who better to ask for help in finding a lost dog than people who ride bikes in the area? This owner obviously realizes that cyclists are better able to see, hear and stop to investigate just about anything during their travels through the neighborhood.

The ad was deleted by its author the next day, so I'm hoping there was a happy reunion at the end of this story. And naturally, I'm also hoping there was a bike involved.

What's for dinner?

Package includes both upright and racing style bikes; sorry, not available in recumbent style.
