Mods if this appears elsewhere pls move..

Another cycling piece from the Indo: cyclists-have-their-say-the-worst-junctions-in-dublin-limerick-cork-and-galway-

This is only a small sample of the things bicyclists have to put up with, along with the on the spot fines if you try and navigate safely around these places..

Responding to the above, a Dublin City Council spokesperson said: "A lot of these issues will be addressed with the various different schemes which are in design i.e. the Liffey Cycle Route and the City Centre Study."

Well, that's that sorted then.

On Wednesday morning a guy was on the ground at Walkinstown roundabout when i was on my way to work. Not sure if he was hit or lost the front end as the was a heavy drizzle falling but he looked ok so i didn't stop and two cars were beside him.
Going home the same day a girl was outside the Kestrel pub at at the same spot after been hit by a car,again she looked ok but two cyclists hit/fallen on the same roundabout in one day makes that a dodgy spot.
I always take more care going around there than most other junctions.

Walkinstown roundabout is ropey by car....let alone cycling
