    What is that?

    The Giro D'Italia (Tour of Italy) is starting in Ireland next year. It's going to be great but expect lots of road closures those days. All the Irish Pro's will be there too. Including Dan Martin, Stephen Roche's nephew and the 6th best cyclist in the world.

    If this is happening quite regularly, then tell us where please. What part of the country; what town etc etc.

    Thanks,

    Have all cyclists transgressed against you? One driver knocked me down. I don't hold the same view about all drivers that I do about that one person.

    No they haven't, I only started this thread because of the disgusting behaviour I witnessed.

    Sorry you got knocked over, drivers can be dicks too, I'm not defending that.

    Thanks, the scars on my face are fading nicely some six years later. Hopefully you have no lasting trauma as a result of our unknown cycling trio. ;)

    If you have it reported; and an accident happens (God forbid) at some stage as a result of this cycling; & the local Guard done nothing, then a lot can and would happen through the Garda Ombudsman Complaints.

    Always Report. If they decide not to bother doing anything, lookit, at least you have informed them and it's over to them then. If they are not aware & an accident happens (God forbid); then would you regret not bringing this to their attention when you could have?

    Just curious here,
    Thanks,

    Thanks , can a mod close the thread? Fúcking extremists everywhere.

    This has darkened my view of cyclists even more. Thank you for the very unhelpful posts,


    Goodbye.

    So what about the motorist who tried to run the lead of our group of 6 single file cyclists off the road during the summer? Extremist car driving was it? We reported the driver to the gardai. Had caught the make, model, colour and most of the reg of the car.

    Cheery bye. Sorry your view of yourself has been damaged.
    You did mention in your opening post that you cycle yourself, right?
