Cyclists

If you wear lycra you're a c*nt, it's science.

hard to argue with that in the normal course of events, but if a fella is out at the weekend doing 70 or 100km, surely you would expect them to be wearing appropriate clothing?

NB: I DO NOT own or wear lycra!

Having see the deliveroo bikers operate i would say the more cyclists break a red light in cork city than motorists do.

and how many of them have you seen cause accidents, get knocked down, or killed?

Be honest now

I find their lack of concentration while they're working the app and cycling the more dangerous thing TBH

The saying is 'there is no such thing as bad weather only the wrong clothes'.

Either way we in the Munster region live in one of the areas with the highest average rainfall levels in Europe.

Comparisons with Sweden are way off.

I know plenty people who cycle to work ALL YEAR ROUND here in Cork. Doctors, nurses, engineers, shop workers. Guess what? They didn't melt.

I cycle all year round, its rare the the weather is ever an issue but my cycles tend to be limited to 20 mins max. I have really good wet gear which is a must, its in my work bag 12 months a year as you can never trust things here.

Funny enough I often enjoy the cycle across town in the rain because the bit that precedes it is either really heavy traffic due to the weather, or the Dart which is a dose on those mornings. On with the gear, onto the bike and cycle past it all

You meet halfwits in every walk of life.

Yeah? Doctors, nurses, engineers, shop workers are half wits? Sounds like you have an ego similar to JG.

Christ above, nearly 600 pages of something that sounds like a bunch of aul wans chewing the fat. Has anyone got any stats to back up the idea that cyclists are the baddies in all of this? No? Didn't think so.

Continue driving around, whinging about the experience and completely over inflating the danger cyclists pose to any other road users bar themselves while the government and planners implement policy that is focused on everything but cars. Or you could chill out and realise that all that really matters is that everyone gets where they are going safely, not the endless stream of 'near misses' the likes of SoundY dream up. Some asshole pushing a woman in Australia doesn't change any of that

Or a fcuking arsehole like Grace in Cork. He hasn't pushed anyone but deserves a good slap!

Anyone can be a half-wit. Book smarts ≠ common sense or civic sense

Real men wear tracksuit pants or shorts cycling

These fannies going round with their guts hanging out of their skintight tops would want to take a long, cold, hard look at themselves.

If you tried that shit 20 years ago youd be laughed out of town.
