Cyclists

[Hank Scorpio]

Lol, only spotted three cars

Its a classic white elephant project that allows Green councillors to say they've rolled out X amount of miles of cycleways in Cork.


Nevermind that its scarcely used by cyclists or the alteration to the road layout is actually quite dangerous for motorists.

I had a scary experience earlier.

I came out the front door onto the footpath and in the blink of an eye I was knocked back against the front door. A fucking deliveroo rider on an electric bike was racing up the footpath and the box on his back hit me. Another few inches and he'd have gone right through me and fuck knows how I'd have ended up.

Perfectly good two way street and this guy chooses to use the footpath. These guys are a fucking liability and a danger to themselves and others. They should need a licence for those electric bikes.

Is there any point in me reporting it to the Gardai?

Not just deliveroo lunatics. Walking to work yesterday and going down Southern Road long queue of traffic and there's a cyclist in a blue jacket and bright yellow rucksack on his back going a fair lick down the footpath! Pedestrians had to get out of his way. And when he got to the bottom, the red light that had the traffic queuing ahead of him didn't cost him a thought, straight through the lights. Alas no point reporting it to the gardai as this incident happened just a few hundred yards from probably the biggest garda station outside of dublin and the cyclists couldn't give a toss.

Not sure what weird fetishes you're into but I wouldn't go into restaurants wearing just a wetsuit, swimming gear, or gym shorts. I've seen, and unfortunately had to endure the smell from, various lycra clad cyclists in restaurants on a number of occasions.

Making shit up again are we?

What 'restaurants are these Soundy? Because I've never seen someone wearing lycra have a sit-down meal in a restaurant.

I saw the clip and I think the woman was genuinely apologetic when she realised she was in the wrong. Yerman being yerman just couldn't be gracious and kept at her.

About the clip, the wagon who almost knocked him off his bike asked if he was asleep.
She was 100% in the wrong, she should have taken it on the chin and moved on. Count it as a learning experience/.

On another day, headline could read:
Patient dies as doctor held up by cyclist who wanted content for social media.

Oh, the guy is a doctor now is he?
A doctor wouldn't behave like that and use his car as a weapon.

Its hilarious the lengths people go to to defend criminal behaviour.

 

[jank]

I think if the cyclists could afford to buy a car (by getting a better job) they wouldn't make so many angry videos

Hold on, I thought cycling was for hipster-woke MAMLs from the middle classes.
Now they are all too poor to have a car?

Which one is it people!?

 

[jank]

He's far more at fault than she.

Hilarious.

So even though he is in the right and has 100% right of way there, where the car HAS TO yield to any cycling or pedestrian traffic..... the cyclist is still wrong.

Flat-earthers have nothing on ye lads.

 

[TheOutdoorThreadmill]

Lol, not a bike to be seen.

It's a farce, what they did to Fitzpatricks was a disgrace and I think there was some one posted lately a picture of cyclists still using the road.

 

[Drucker]

As well as being a sociopathic bullying misogynist the obnoxious Cunt who uses the alt “Jank” here DOES post on Twitter as “Righttobikeit??Ukraine is also a lying little prick by trying to make out that he’s nothing to do with the Carrigaline Crotchcamman who cycles into our city looking for content.

What a prick.

It's every bit as maddening, as well as dangerous, when a cyclist undertakes on the inside of traffic in lanes where the motorist is turning left for an impatient cyclist to come up his inside and get all outraged about it. Cyclists seem to think it all fine and well for them to undertake within inches in the same lane as a slower moving car, but how very dare a car overtake a slower moving cyclist and not give them 1.5 meters of clearance.
A bit of cop on in both directions would go a long way.

Thats all well and good, but the cyclist in this instance was not in a road lane, it was in a dedicated cycling lane.

I'll repeat, when the car is turning left across a footpath and or a cycling lane, the pedestrian and cyclists have 100% right of way. The car HAS to yield.
