We study rational step function skew products over certain rotations of the circle proving ergodicity and bounded rational ergodicity when the rotation number is a quadratic irrational. The latter arises from a consideration of the asymptotic temporal statistics of an orbit as modelled by an associated affine random walk.

Keywords: Infinite ergodic theory, skew product, step function, cylinder flow, renormalization, random affine transformation, affine random walk, stochastic matrix, perturbation, temporal central limit theorem, weak rough local limit theorem.
