Seen a few e-scooter riders going at a fair speed down model farm road last night…dressed head to toe in black with no helmets

Saw four lads on big fuck off four wheel scooter things and huge e bikes down by Harty’s Quay the other evening. They were all wearing balaclavas for some reason.

Where's the cycle lane on that side of the road though?

If I recall it switches sides of the road there. Probably to keep bikes off the footpath at the junction.

There has never been a cycle lane on that side of the road.
