Dublin Bus Strike? What strike... ?

Anyone else glad they're on a bike today?

Commuting from North County Dublin to the city centre only took me an extra 5 minutes today and most of that was stuck behind a garda refusing to filter when there was clearly space :P

Filtering is legal in Ireland. In America it's illegal alright.

I am on my way home from work and I am soaked to the skin. I pay my taxes to subsidize those lazy miserable unionized job for life wastes of space. I have no sympathy for them.

Garda traffic corp pulled me on the S1000RR today in the bus lane at the old Tayto Factory in Coolock.

Garda behind the radar gun pulls me in and says........................

"I heard you comming a mile away"

"What am I doing in the bus lane"


He said hes a fellow biker himself and just told me to be sensible about my riding style in future,then we had a laugh together and I was on my way again.


Phew...
