The cogs, the chain, the pedals and all that clockwork mechanism that sets the bicycle in motion demonstrate the brilliance of the 19th century designers. Bicycles are here to remind us that, as the edge inscription of the £2 coin puts it, we are "standing on the shoulders of giants".
Yet, sometimes, when the mechanism doesn't work one needs to push his or her bicycle or tricycle down the road.
I took the picture above on 5 July 2012 near Stephen's Green Shopping Centre.
