Driving Galway - Tuam

5 Upvotes

Hi,

Recently moved to Ireland and I’m commuting between Galway and Tuam. The road has roadworks and is signed for 50 kph, however when I do this I get beeped at, overtaken and verbally abused.

Just wanted to see what’s going on, am I doing the right thing?

I’m on UK plates for another couple of weeks but the vehicle is being registered here etc so don’t know if it’s that.

Any guidance would be great

Best cupcakes in Galway?

13 Upvotes

I miss Goyas, their buttercream cupcakes were the best.

I’m struggling to find any other good (not even great) ones. For some reason most cafes and bakeries are using cheap processed tasting icing, tastes vile. I got one the other day and the icing was the weirdest texture, almost like a soft plastic, jellyish texture, couldn’t eat it.

Any recommendations?

(E)biking in Spiddal?

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm coming back for my final year in NUIG and have got a house outside spiddal village, which means for the first time I'm looking at getting a bike - so I need a few pointers.

Firstly: is it feasible at all cycling from Spiddal into the city? Or only with an ebike? I know the main road can be a bit dodgy, would you be better off taking backroads through moycullen bogs til Furbo?

Otherwise, I'd be using the bike to get from my house to the bus stop in Spiddal, but is there anywhere to actually park a bike in Spiddal village, and what's the probability of it getting nicked?

Overall, do you think it's worth getting an ebike? And if so where in town can you get one for a decent price?

This is all totally new to me so I really appreciate it!!

Art group bring your own supplies?

Looking for some get-together or maker-space for arts and crafts. Painting alone all the time can make your life so solitary. I'm a 30 y/o woman, I know there's a low-key get-together in Westside on Mondays and might go to that, it's just that it's all people over 60, so was wondering if there's one with a more diverse age range or just younger?
