Jees - Carrigaline must be further out of town than I thought.

And you the guy picking other posters up on their spelling (again today) - it might help if you knew the difference between Subjective and Objective. Just saying like.

Ya, that's the only daily cycling he does, d'oh. As I said this morning, g'wan ya langer or least read his twitter feed.

Lads on an entirely unrelated topic, does anyone know where I can buy some chlorinated chicken giblets fried in a secret mix of msg, stale garlic and rat droppings?

There’s a place on cook street I believe

These two posts, taken together, are surely defamatory?

Unlike you I've much better things to do with my time than read the twitter feed of some lycra loon like Chicken John

How so? Posted by 2 separate people and there’s surely more than one place on Cook St that sell chicken.

That you do, like defending murderers. The links are posted here regularly so no excuse for your usual uninformed posts.

That was easy for me to say though as I cycle for leisure and never rushing or cycling at the speeds he does, I'd say he cycles upwards of over 100km a day so he is bound to get in to scrapes with motorists whether looking for it or not with that amount of travel. Just take the majority of videos posted here, he has done nothing to warrant the ire of the motorists. People here aren't being subjective when looking at the videos because of who is involved, imagine if it was you or your were the cyclist in the video and what your attitude would be if you were getting punishment passes for no reason every day of the week. I genuinely can understand his anger and his provocative nature( I don't agree with it), like this isn't a new concept to him, he was on with Neil on RedFM back in 2016 about the videos.

Yeah, he seems a needlessly provocative person, and takes it upon himself to be the law, but these things are happening to him regularly and someone is going to end up hurting him badly. When they do they are fucked because a judge will not assess it as the SpeedYs etc. on here do. I see it so often myself, the difference being that I couldn't be arsed doing anything further about it.

I was out for a run last week on a rural narrow road. I was running towards the traffic on the right hand side, and 2 elderly cyclists were just ahead of me on the left hand side. This gobshite towing a decent sized boat comes from behind me, sees an approaching car ahead, and instead of pulling in and waiting he floors it, missed me by about a foot, and then pulls back in across the cyclist just after his jeep had cleared them rather than the trailer. I'd say he misses the front cyclist by one or two inches after they jammed on their brakes.. and all to end up maybe 20 seconds ahead of where he would be if he had waited, but fucking cyclists and fucking runners and all that

Thats the kind of shit that gets those people home and never taking the bikes out again

100% this, his attitude aside he is nearly always correct in his videos when it comes to the law. The more I see his videos I'm starting to understand why he is so angry and confrontational, imagine cycling a route from home to work a couple of times a day for years now and all sort of vehicles doing punishment passes because the road is suitable for the all traffic that is travelling it.

Two separate posters doesn't necessarily mean two separate people.

How many premises selling chicken are there on Cook Street?

Yeah, it must piss him off in a serious way, but the outcome of all of this is not going to be good eventually.
It is not the right answer but he needs to look at a different route as the morons passing him wont be changing their behaviour any time soon

Anyone who thinks driving a car, van, bus, whether really close to a cyclist to 'teach them a lesson' needs to immediately relinquish their driving licence and stay away from the wheel of a car before they put people under theirs

Agreed.
