The traffic in Dublin was an absolute nightmare today…

With all those extra cars on the road, your usual commute to work may have taken a lot longer than it usually does.

Which got us thinking, surely there must be an easier way to get to work every morning?

To celebrate Honda’s new scooter giveaway, we’ve compiled this handy list of some very innovative – and very alternative – ways to help you avoid the traffic over the next few weeks.

We can’t wait to see everyone trying these out…

Unicycle

First up we have the old 19th-century favourite method of transport. Yes, you guessed it, the unicycle.

Bonus points if you can play the accordion while riding it too. Very impressive.

Stilts

Not only will you be the most fashionable person on your commute, you’ll also be able to see over everyone’s heads, making it that much easier to avoid overly-friendly Colm from accounting in your office.

Seriously Colm, give it a rest.

Hoverboard

No buses? No problem.

With a nifty Back To The Future-style hoverboard, you’ll be able to whizz along the footpath with no fuss and minimal inconvenience to your fellow commuters.

You probably still won’t look as cool as Marty McFly though, sorry…

Flying Carpet

Make like Aladdin and buy yourself your very own magic carpet. You can probably get them at www.magiccarpets.ie or something.

They’re great for the environment as they’ve no toxic fumes and they can even double up as living room carpet when guests are calling around.

Happy days.

Heelys
Relive your youth and dust off a pair of Heelys.

Don’t worry about the people laughing at you, it’s totally age appropriate and you’ll look great.
