Cyclists

RTB living rent free for some people.

The bottom line here is, he is looking for footage, likes and attention from the idiots out there who are incapable of seeing the mentality and game the individual is and is playing.

And he caught a mighty fine fat trout in yourself

So abusing someone is a wheelchair is a sign of someone rational ?
Abusing an elderly lady is a sign of someone rational?
Only choosing to abuse woman drivers is a sign of someone rational?
Cycling on the Kinsale Road Roundabout is a sign of someone rational ?

This guy is far from rational

Those incidents about the old woman and the wheelchair user was not 'abuse'.
He actually didn't say a word to either of them afaik.

But don't let that get in the way of the narrative.

He got smart with a lad in Carrigaline years ago and nearly got the head kicked off him. Glad he didn’t of course.

If you are referring to the same incident that I saw, the car driver was a lunatic.
Probably still going through the courts, and the car driver will be lucky to get away with it.

This just highlights that there are absolute lunatics out there driving on our roads. But for some reason, the narrative is entirely about RTB.

If RTB wasn't there, these lunatics would still be out there driving.
So you are a smart lad, from Fermoy, whats the bigger issue on our roads?

RTB and cyclists, or lunatics/bad drivers?

But but but what would happen this thread then
????

They would complain about some other Twitter user, or Soundy would chime in with his Walter Mitty-esque tales about almost crashing into cyclists for the 48,392 time.

The irony about those who complain about RTB doing this for attention, but giving out about him on this thread for YEARS!

Not the brightest are they.

On a side note, I had occasion to take a trip to Harper's island recently and was quite amused to see not one cyclist along the entire stretch of the new cycle lane that I passed on the way there, it was deserted except for one very angry looking middle aged man walking a dog.

I walk that route almost daily.
It is packed with people, especially weekends.
Joggers, dog walkers, young and old, cyclists etc...

One of the best things to happen to the area.

I have to say Wank, I am really impressed at the grasp you have of each and every incident that the hero was involved in.

Yet you claim you are not RTB ?

 

[jank]

Cian is a real piece of work.

Care to elaborate?

Do you think I am?

When it comes to commentary around RTB, people take a lot of artistic license.

Him riding about 2-3 foot from the verge is apparently riding in the middle of a road.
Him stopping to let an old woman Jay walk across a busy street, becomes 'hE aBuSeD hEr!"
Him asking a wheelchair user, what is he doing crossing a road while the lights are green morphs into "wHaT a BuLlY!"

It's all funny to be honest, how he rises a grown adult man.

Yes an absolute psycho who hopefully faced the consequences of his actions. As I’ve said I’ve no interest in engaging in this ‘but what about’ culture war that exists around cyclists. I’ve always said engaging with other road users is highly risky and this incident proves it. There are many aspects of road safety which need attention and no one aspect should receive all of that attention.
