Dublin cyclists
Posted in Personal, events on 03/06/2008 02:02 pm by Laura CzajkowskiRight since I’ve moved up here I’ve noticed something. Every morning on the way to work I avoid getting killed, knocked down by cars, taxis, buses, and the Luas, this is all good. I do however find that nearly every morning I find myself dodging death from the flipping cyclists up here. They seem oblivious to the rules of the road.
So as you can imagine I’m not really awake first thing in the morning, so I can see large objects coming at me and I avoid them. Crossing the road, looking to see if it’s clear, (even if the little green man tells me so, I like to double check) getting the all clear, I go to cross and out of no flipping where comes a cyclist who then gives out to me for crossing!!!!! It’s not just crossing the road when this happens, they have loads of cycle lanes up here and even then that’s not good enough, if there is a somebody cycling too slow for them, they don’t think twice but swerve onto the footpath and then come up really fast behind you!
Mind boggling!
