		<description><![CDATA[I've been doing a lot of cycle commuting lately, managing the 18 mile round trip to work and back more or less three times a week in spite of the Northern Ireland weather.

I noticed the sign below as I cycled through Templepatrick (a village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland) the other evening...]]></description>
