Cork Cycling infrastructure

[the puerto rican feen]

Nobody seems to be factoring in National psyche into these considerations of "what works on the continent must surely work in Ireland"

why shouldn't it work if and a big if implemented properly ?

ok good, one

a few more per chance

One??????????????????????????

Do you even cycle in Cork??

There's similar to be seen on South Main Street; Lancaster Quay; Proby's Quay; Pope's Quay and Sullivan's Quay and that's just off the top of my head

It is unlikely to work because unlike with their counterparts on the continent, the gardai are very unlikely to police it properly.

Do you think you'd be more likely to get away with no bell on your bike/insufficient lighting/breaking traffic lights/going wrong way up one way streets/cycling on footpaths etc in Ireland or on the continent?

Nope, not living in cork anymore.

Good to see.

Can we keep this thread to cycling Infrastructure, as there is another mega thread on PROC where people can give out with all their hearts content about behaviour?

Don't see too many cyclists being pulled over for that here either.

Although, they did fine 40+ people for passing on the inside of a tram at a stop (gap between footpath and door of tram) a few months ago.

Excellent!!! Hopefully they'd bring something similar in here. All in favour of suitable passing distances between vehicles but the same cycle-fascists who insist cars should provide a minimum space when overtaking refuse to countenance a minimum space for bicycles over or under-taking. As ever, they only want good rules of the road to apply to other road users, not to themselves. Funny that.

As already stated, I don't live in cork anymore.

My original post was a question, I am now being informed.

The cyclist thread on the langers forum is best suited to your hating.
