And in particular, is there something I'm missing as to why cyclists don't stop at traffic lights?
I was nearly run down yesterday evening on my way home from work by a cyclist going straight through red lights at a pedestrian crossing on Dawson street. I don't think I've ever seen a cyclist stop at these lights at all.
This morning then, getting myself hyped up for this rant, I was watching cyclists on the way in to work on the bus. At 4 sets of lights around Phibsboro, there were 6 different cyclists who sailed through red lights. And not just at pedestrian crossing lights, but at proper traffic lights as well.
Should we have any sympathy at all for these menaces having to fight through Dublin traffic if they're so insistent on breaking the laws that are there to protect themselves and others.
(And don't even get me started on cyclists cycling on footpaths!!!)
