    as above

    it was friday evening around 4pm

    i suppose as a cyclist you learn great patience but this fcuk-dog nearly flattened myself and the lady who was cycling behind me,

    the dopey fcuker had to stop at traffic lights 500m on but as it was friday evening i didn;t have the energy to fly up and catch him but thinking back i wish i did and pulled the snootty noseed fckuer out thru the wind-scrteen and hopped his fat-head of the road

    I was the same on Thursday morning. He pulled straight out in front of me and then proceeded to stop at a bus stop 100 metres down the road. I complained to Dublin bus as I had all of the details but they just sent a generic email response.

    i think we cyclists are way to forgiving and understanding

    for example also on friday another piec of sh1t and his ugly wife nearly knocked me down, i should have pulled him out thru the windscreen and buried my steel-toe-cap boot in his teeth,

    next week i won't be so nice

    Report it to dublin bus with date time and bus number. Wont do much but they might point this out to the driver/s. Same thing happened to me years ago but I managed to catch up with the driver on nezt lights for a brief talk.

    i'm going to send a registered letter about the bus driver from my op, i have the time, the route and the reg of the bus, at least let the kunt knowi'm looking for him, he might think twice before he nearly flattens a coupe of cyclists again

    would i be right in saying that bus-drivers and taxi drivers are the worst offenders?

    do they think the rest of us aren't on a schedule aswell?

    I find the worst are the cyclists who constantly break the lights

    i beg your pardon

    i actually have a good relationship as a profesional biker with bus-drivers, taxi drivers and lorry drivers,

    however , the driver in question was dangerous and i'm gonna make sure he doesn't kill a cyclist

    i'm against violins but the next time a drver nearly flattens me or another cyclistin my view, he better have good health insurance
