Cyclists

[Crankycorner]

Everyones "favourite" cyclist at it again yesterday.Not one, not two but THREE confrontations. You genuinely need anger management. That's not normal behaviour. You were completely in the wrong and somehow blamed a truck for beeping at you and a driver for beeping. Both were correct.
You then followed a taxi driver and sneered "you're in a rush to get to the taxi rank, to polish your car to wait 3 hours for a customer." Also said to the taxi man "I've 2 cameras" and called him a "fcuking idiot" for paying road tax. I genuinely and sincerely hope you antagonise the wrong person and they shove both cameras right up your big hole.
You're a nasty piece of work all the same.
1 week and 4 road rage incidents including speeding after a female driver and an older taxi driver to unleash volleys of abuse. Then, when even cyclists point out you're acting the c**t, you argue with them on twitter
But motorists are the issue. ????

Oh what a clatter ??

More bike lanes will not increase demographics of people using bikes.

This is patently and factually false at all levels.
Any study done on this shows that when one builds better cycling infrastructure the number of people cycling increases.
I've put many a study up on this thread, all of which are ignored until the next time the same falsehood is made.

I understand the need for cycle lanes for health and safety in subruban areas but certainly not on the main inner city chugging up traffic,

This is exactly the place for cycling lanes.
If your philosophy is that the car is on the top of the pyramid and all other road users have to make way, be they are a passenger on a bus, a pedestrian or a cyclist that's fine, but you are a dinosaur and a dullard if you think that way. Don't get offended on being called out for your narrow ways.

 

[jank]

Yes I agree.

For example those multiple comments you made on this forum about road traffic accidents.
You know the ones where you decided the outcome in advance, and occasionally posted photos of the deceased to emphasize your speculative nonsense, certainly fit that description.

Just a bit of bantz indeed.

Clown.

Two things.

First of all, you seem a bit rattled.
Those unfortunate people were killed by a motorist, a driver behind the wheel. That is a fact and not speculation at all.

Secondly, it's nice that you now admit that people on this thread do indeed go too far in their 4chan wannabe bullying antics with this inane 'vendetta' against a vulnerable road user.
A slow learner, but still a learner.

LOLZZZZZ
Rattled to the extreme.

I'll repeat again, I am not that person on Twitter.
I don't own a Garmin Camera.
I don't live in Carrigaline
Etc...

For someone who is telling others about anger management... LOLZ, you sure could use a dose of it yourself.
Some random guy on Twitter is making your blood boil?
Why do you care so much?

Cyclists can use bus lanes but busses can't use cycle lanes.

For the idiot that you are, this one is truly golden.

 

[SoundMan]

Most of the new cycle lanes will be bus lanes ya clown.

How on earth is a cycle lane a bus lane?
There are many shared lanes where cyclists are permitted to cycle in Bus Lanes but they're not cycle lanes because whether you've noticed it or not, busses are too wide to fit in cycle lanes.
Lanes where cyclists cycle aren't necessarily cycle lanes - as we've seen regular traffic lanes have cyclists in them, that doesn't make them cycle lanes.

The fact that you need this explained to you speaks volumes.

Two things.

First of all, you seem to accuse posters of being rattled quite often. This is your default reply when you get called out for being a fucking hypocrite.

Secondly, if you think anything on here is as bad as 4chan then you are in for a surprise if you ever get around to checking what's on 4chan. Maybe you should go there and tell them what they can and can't say as well. Let us know how you get on.

A slow learner, and still a wanker.

Not at all.
Sure what do you make of the (false) accusations that I am some guy with a Twitter Account?
Sounds like the many fools who believe it are rattled to me.
If not, what would you call it, apart from grown men willfully engaging in a made-up fantasy?

Secondly, if you think anything on here is as bad as 4chan then you are in for a surprise if you ever get around to checking what's on 4chan. Maybe you should go there and tell them what they can and can't say as well. Let us know how you get on.

I'll repeat.
The usual tropes on this thread about cyclists are gleefully commented on with the usual seal-like backslapping.

Comments about their hygiene practices, their background, their class, their status, their wealth, their job, their partners and marital status and where they live are seen as fair game by a dedicated crew of useful idiots with little else going on in their lives.
Now one can pass that all of as 'just bantz', or can call it out.

It's patently obvious that much of this goes too far, yet you want to defend it. This shows us what type of person you really are.

Cyclists can use bus lanes you utter ghoul. Loads of new bus lanes are proposed and if they come into fruition, cyclists can use them.

10 Jul 2008 - Minister for Transport (Deputy Noel Dempsey) The current rules governing use of bus lanes were established...through the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997-1998....Large public service vehicles are permitted to use all bus lanes....Taxis, while being used in the course of work, and pedal cycles are permitted to use with-flow bus lanes...permit the use of bus lanes by hackneys and limousines.

Dear sweet baby JEBUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes we know, and it has been stated numerous times, that cyclists can cycle in bus lanes.

BUT, any you probably need to read this carefully and slowly, CYCLE LANES are for the exclusive use of cyclists (and scooters) and are NOT for busses to drive in - they're invariably way too narrow anyway.

So a cycle lane adds practically nothing to the PUBLIC TRANSPORT infrastructure.

BUS Connects should do away with (exclusive) Cycle Lanes imho and let the cyclists use the extra Bus Lanes provided.
