No. I was in a hit and run and all I managed to get with the reg was their insurance number, still no idea their first name and the insurance has already settled. Only Gardai etc can do that.

Cameras pay for themselves, here's my example: Camera cost €300 Insurance payouts for my damaged property because of camera - €1000 (you could use a 50 quid one but I wanted a GoPro I could use on holidays and and water sports) This just makes sense, nothing mental about it. I have never...

What a arsehole

I don't own any lycra, but I have been nearly killed several times by shitty drivers, I however have never nearly killed a pedestrian. Common sense ≠ law You weren't endangered, inconvenienced or bothered. You're just upset he didn't have to wait with you and you're throwing a tantrum.

He didn't pass you on the inside. Cyclists are allowed to filter on the left or right side of cars. But in this case he was in a separate lane so I don't know why you mentioned it. I'm guessing the green light for pedestrians was on when he went through? As long as he yields to pedestrians it...

Just another day

Considering donating to this little legends charity cycle for St. Vincent de Paul, the SCOOP Foundation and Bunscoil Synge Street. Link - Conan's Charity Cycle Funds go directly to charities.

That's an unreasonable argument. You're supposed to keep enough space to brake for cars in front of you, this car was not in front of me, it pulled out illegally Infront of me, then fled the scene. I made direct eye contact with the driver before he pulled out, there was no perceived danger and...

Still waiting for them to get back to me.

What have I done that gives cycling a bad rep?

I do follow the rules of the road, and never once did I say I didn't in that comment? There is no law requiring licence plates for cyclists, I am arguing against it. I have no idea what rules you're talking about that have been broken?

That was my reaction when you generalised an entire group of people and made assumptions about disregarding motorists and pedestrians somehow.

Is the blatant disregard in the room with you right now?

You also can't identify a pedestrian crossing the road at a red light, but we don't care because they don't kill people. While I do believe commercial delivery drivers using bikes should display a number on their food delivery bag or something similar to report bad driving, the idea of doing...

That's me, I didn't have time to turn around and see if there was a car in the other lane coming up behind me, as I'm going under the speed limit, a car doing the limit could have hit me from behind in the other lane if i swerved into it. Similar to how you aren't supposed to check your mirrors...

I think what a lot of people don't realise is cyclists get frustrated because a lot of drivers don't respect them at yield/stop signs constantly and you only see the tip of the iceberg in these clips. The same goes for pedestrians crossing at junctions where there is a stop/yield sign where...

Raising awareness is important too, take this driver for instance - they ran a stop sign at an exit where a little kid was cycling in a protected bike lane - dad has to jam on the brakes and put his hand out to stop him. Driver also brakes quickly but they wouldn't have had to if they bloody...

I forget mines there, even locked it up once and forgot it - pop it on charge when i get home and it automatically backs up any saved videos without me needing to do anything, very handy and the mount lets it just slide in and out easily. It's probably less hassle and effort then charging and...

If they cause damage to me or my bike or crash and blame me, I can show I wasn't at fault - I have been in that situation in a car crash with no video only witnesses, it was nasty but ultimately the court found the other driver liable (they ran a red light and hit us) but I had to go and testify...

Just a note on cameras on bikes, I think car dashcams are normalised and people don't care or act surprised when a car has one. With bikes some people seem surprised or ridicule those who use or want to use a bike dashcam because there's a handful of people posting footage of incidents that...
