Yes it's a road. It's also a laneway though, it's a single lane with the width of a single lane. As such there's not enough width for a car to give safe passing distance to a cyclist. There's no way that the car would be able to give this guy 1.5m space even if he moved in to the left.

There's a reason there's at least two bike symbols painted on that stretch of road.




What does this even mean? I'm simply stating a fact? Cool? Impressive? What are you on about? I'm right, 50 is the max speed permitted there. There's no obligation on anyone to do 50 there, be they a car, tractor, bus, bike or whatever.



I can't think of one. But then again I can't see why a motorist would beep a cyclist going 40 in a 50, and yet here we are.



Again - if he did go over to the side there's no way there's enough room for safe passing space on that lane.


No it wasn't in general. What you specifically said was "He cycles along in the middle of that road at 40 kmh, the legal limit is 50. He is therefore holding up traffic."

You're clearly referring to "that road".

You still playing Modern Warfare brah?

Nah kid, wasn't satisfying my thirst for aggression and violence enough so I took up cycling in Cork instead

You do realise there are as many bad cyclists as there are bad drivers on the roads, yes?

In terms of the per centage of both yeah, but given there are way more motorists then in terms of just numbers the latter are way more in the majority, and they're the ones who pose the most threat

Cyclists can cause a considerable threat to motorists also. It really works both ways. There are so many on the road that intentionally antagonise motorists simply because they’ve had a run in with some other eejit at some stage.

The guy driving in towards Douglas is a gobshite for beeping the cyclist. But that gobshite doesn’t represent me and most other motorists on the road that the same cyclist will take out his grievances on at a later time.

He really needs to take a step back for the good of his health. It’s a disgrace he has been named on here also may I add.

You’ve nailed it here. Important to get one thing clear though. Both the Irish Examiner and the Echo named him months ago.

Well to be fair I'm only commenting on that incident, it's laughable that someone could defend the motorist in that one on the basis that someone doing 40 on a stretch of road that's no longer than 500 metres with a 50 limit is holding up traffic.

Good god. That maniac in the car beeped at him one whole time while driving meters behind him under the speed limit. That's attempted murder right there.

Hopefully John Rightobikeit Grace* (*information already in the public domain) will recover from the inevitable years of PTSD this terrible ordeal will cause.
