Seems like some of these cyclists have an a-la-carte approach to the rules of the road. Also, this looked like a "proper" cyclist with proper gear and a proper bike
For reference, the cyclist was heading down the South Mall. He cross the lights at the end (at the junction of Parnell Bridge) and proceeded down Lapps Quay (Connelly Hall)
Walking through town ...
and a proper bike
But yeah, they are mental alright.
Ultimately, though, a cyclist is much more vulnerable to harm than a motorist whose potential upset, really, doesn't extend beyond fairly mild inconvenience..
No, SOME of them are mental,
As a motorist I would not consider knocking a cyclist off his bike and injuring him because he was racing through a red light a 'fairly mild inconvenience'. I would be in bits.
I'm not sure what the point about him being a "proper" cyclist is intended to make.
Ho Ho - so Corkonians are guilty of this Dublinism too?
You do stick to the speed limit at all times - right? And you never use your phone when driving - right? No a-la-carting for you, I presume?Seems like some of these cyclists have an a-la-carte approach to the rules of the road.
After about 20 seconds the cyclist proceeded to resume cycling upto the traffic lights still giving out as he passed me. The cyclist then proceeded through the red lights and at a cross junction and also cut across traffic coming from his right.

I have to say, I am really on tenterhooks at the moment over cyclists. I live in Co Cork and the amount of cyclists cycling at all times without relfective gear and no lights at night is scaring the life out of me each time I drive. Is there a standard of lights/ gear that cyclists need to meet
Essentially no, nothing explicit though, other than lights, as far as I'm aware though there are recommendations...
Congrads...you beat Purple in the usual, lame, predictable, Cork bashing post
brakes, tyres, chain, lights, reflector and bell!!!
