    I'm sure I've seen some of this guys videos before, and in fairness sometimes he's right, but in this case I think the woman is being perfectly reasonable. Does he really need to put this up on YouTube? In fact, since he initiated the conversation is he legally allowed to do it?

    What an utter tosser

    Jesus, he sounds painful, a real man with a mission. Of course drivers can be arseholes, but saying a stationery car with a puncture poses a danger to cyclists...do they lack eyes or something?

    Not this tosser again, his voice makes my blood boil.

    I know, you'd swear nobody cycled on the roads before cycle lanes. I say that as a driver and a regular bicycle user (I'm in no way a cyclist!)

    The guy is the biggest clown of an absolute bully going in Ireland.

    She has her hazards on and for 99% of cyclists, she is a minor inconvenience at worst.

    This fool however takes it as an affront to his personal freedom to move through the city unobstructed.

    I'd love to see him navigate central London.

    Regardless, he will find the trouble he is looking for some day.

    Not legible to vote (live outside Ireland) so immaterial question to me. I don't think enough people will change, though. Those that voted for minority parties on the basis of a "protest vote" have probably only seen their views vindicated in the last few weeks (be it a good thing or a bad thing).

    This tosser should consider getting the bus to work and going for a good long spin up the mountains at the weekend. It would be healthier for him in the long run.

    He's clearly in the wrong here.

    I have a funny feeling that this thread will be derailed very quickly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,647 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112


    He should be banned from youtube.

    He is a no1 fool.

    He even has his name on his page.

    Cops are sick of him along with any other road user that comes across him.

    He hands out business cards with his YouTube profile URL to motorists he's targeted and tells them to search for their reg to see the video. Muppet of the highest order.

    I enjoyed this write-up about this particular person http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/youtube-channel-of-the-week-number-five-641

    Some day he'll pick on the wrong person (I hope..)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,447 ✭✭✭Never wrestle with pigs


    He wouldn't get off his hole and change the tyre for her. Probably hasn't the hands to wipe his hole. What an annoying littel pr!ck.

    The number of YouTube hits are now North of 20,000 with 745 thumbs down. The comments section has been disabled since last night. Since he has the option to delete or privatise the video one could only guess that going viral is the motive for leaving it up. It really is a spectacular own goal to p1ss off so many cyclists here and on Reddit ireland too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,235 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    Look at his other videos. I think he must have something wrong with him mentally, probably shouldn't be taking the píss out of him


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭The_Valeyard


    Some people are just c*nts.


    She had a flat tyre, hazards on. Driving forward would have been dangerous

    "He appears to have a pathological hatred for all human life, which manifests itself through the conduit of his bicycle."

    Fair enough that she's there. She's not wrong it but would be more considerate to drive the 10 metres around the corner and be out of the way. (That's what I'd do myself)

    I really think this guy should stop making videos. He's annoyed people so much that whether he's right or wrong, he's always wrong.

    I'd prefer bating the shite out of him for terrorising & bullying that poor auld one :mad:

    I think she said she had tried to around the corner but was blocked by a car and had to come back

    Fair enough, couldn't make that out on first listening.

    I watched three of his videos on that 'vice' article. The 'wrongdoers' were a group of school kids, a granny and a young female learner driver.

    Maybe its not a representative sample. I'm sure he would be equally likely to dispense justice if the Leinster Rugby team bus were to cut him off.

    "While there are indeed YouTube accounts like this that mainly serve to highlight to daily plight of the cyclist on troublesome British roads, CycleDub's is basically evidence that could one day be used in his manslaughter trial. A man so constantly, insidiously irate it defies belief that his heart continues to beat. "

    I'm a cyclist. Drivers annoy me sometimes. I'm also a driver. Cyclists can be tools.

    CycleDub deserves to be shot in the face with pellets of his own frozen shyte.

    I bet there's a whole load of times he's broken the rules of the road, which are conveniently edited out of his videos.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,554 ✭✭✭Sundew


    For somebody who is a complete menace, he seems to be gaining a high profile for himself!

    By driving forward you weaken the tyre walls so it'll cost you a new tyre.
