One way road. The nut is entitled to be where she was.

Oh and amazing cycling skills to be able to to cycle like that with such a large chip on your shoulder (as in he was obviously out looking to have a pop at motorists).

more to the point - why is he on his phone while on his bike :mad:

Surely that's just as dangerous and illegal as using a phone while driving?

It's not a one way road. It's a very narrow 2 way street with on street parking. Issue for DCC but as he says she should give way

No it's not. It's clearly a two-way road.

Absolutely no need for the cyclist to stop. He was completely looking for drama.

When presented by someone in the wrong who later turns out to be, shall we say, emotional, he persists in making his (perfectly correct) point.

He was 100% correct on the rules of the road. She was 100% wrong. But it's a friday morning. Let her off with a warning ffs! Be a peacemaker instead of sinking to a shouting match with her. That he didn't makes him an ass - imo

Wow, he's a total dick who seemed to be looking to have a go at someone

Must be two-way, otherwise the irony of him cycling the wrong way down it would be too much for anyone to handle.

There are no signs to indicate that it is a one way road, in fact there is a car parked on the road facing the same direction that the cyclist was going and there was a Jeep driving behind the cyclist also being blocked by her and the cyclist having the argument.

He was overly pushy about the whole thing, but she was clearly in the wrong.

dark crystal

Seems like there was a particularly stupid parking space on that narrow road which forces traffic to drive on the wrong side of the road.

Duggy747

She was in the wrong.

He was being a drama-dick about it.

Nobody comes out good in this video.

gurramok

That's Hanover St East. I never understood why its still a 2way street. I've driven the same direction as the cyclist before and its an obstacle course style challenge with potholes and parked cars.

Still, she is using a poor drama queen defence. I think its obvious the cyclist has come across many assholes on the road before and just flipped it out of frustration.

Hanover Street East is clearly not a one way street. Look at the road markings as he enters the street

He was in the right, but at the same time, there was no need to make such an issue out of it. Saying he was going to report her to the guards...

You said to the Dublin forum first . By the time I quoted it you have changed your post

Crooked Jack

It's her revert to "I'm a woman on my own," that pisses me off. She might as well have started crying.
What was she expecting?
"Oh you're a woman on your own? Well go right ahead doing whatever the hell you like then."
Sad thing is she probably pulled that crap out of the bag because it worked before.

Pj!

What an idiot of a woman.

Driver's an idiot, cyclists a dick.... Still a better love story than Twilight.

Well he's using it to video record. Same thing IMO. still causes lack of concentration

Yeah, in another video he gets pissed because someone in a brand new audi accelerates faster than he'd like in the lane next to him, and someone has the cheek to spot him & not to turn in on him whilst driving a mini.

The guy is a total fucking prat of the highest order.

I've watched some of his videos now, to describe this guy as confrontational would be a massive understatement.

Hey. I have a camera. I'm recording all this you know!! . :pac:

He had a good quality picture on his video.

That's the only positive thing I can say about either of them.

Seriously? He's wearing a camera on his helmet, hardly a space age invention! :rolleyes:

I haven't watched his other videos, I was just relating to the experiences of inner city cycling from a cyclist viewpoint which is frustrating with some motorists. I'm both a cyclist and motorist, I see both sides and some on both sides are indeed prats.

Perhaps he's the militant cyclist type, i dunno.

jay1988

He's 100% right to pull her on it. I drive up that street most days and 9 times outta 10 there's some dick driving either across both lanes or else completely on the wrong side and it always seems to be some asshole driving a jeep.

Yep, he has some anger issues alright.
Maybe he should post a full video of his journey so we can rate his road use.

I think he needs a more comfortable bike saddle to lighten the fook up.

Wow chill out people. I didn't think cyclists these days went to the extreme of getting camera helmets to justify right from wrong on the roads :rolleyes:

You're the guy in the video aren't you :pac:

SB2013

If you intend to report someone to the Gardaí then do it, don't go having a row with them first. Hurling abuse at a driver, even if she's in the wrong, is a breach of the Public Order Act and if that guy isn't careful he'll find himself ont he wrong side of it.
