    I bet he's still feeling tramatised.

    That was just too close. He won't be making that route any time soon. One lucky man there.

    There are several ways to safely traverse obstacles on a bicycle. This is our favourite.

    What a clown. Even if he wasn't an experienced cyclist surely common sense would tell you that a bad idea.

    My OH saw something similar in Smithfield Friday morning. Some fool cycling down the Luas tracks at the crossroads of Benburb St and Queen St. he broke the lights and moved to avoid an oncoming car and fell off the bike because he hit the Luas tracks or else tried to brake and slipped on the wet Luas lines, not sure which. Lucky the car didn't hit him. Gave the driver some shock.
