Anyway, Taxi Drivers really hate cyclists,

We used to have a poster around here who was a keen cyclist and a taxi-driver. As with all classes of drivers (and indeed cyclists) there is some hateful behaviour out there from a small minority. Please be careful with such generalisations

Recently I noticed that the (red) cycle lanes in Templeogue Village had been removed. They were shared with the footpath. Only the section from Austin Clarke Bridge to Templeogue Tennis Club has been removed. The setup in the centre of Templeogue Village is unchanged.

Today I see that they have added a few broken lines on the road which are the new cycle lanes. I know that the broken lines indicate an advisory but the distance between the broken cycle lane lines and the centre of the road is quite narrow. It looks messy and seems a recipe for close passing. Time will tell, I suppose.

I can't complain as I never used the previous ones that were on the footpath.

I'f be interested to hear what others think of the new setup.

Anyway, Taxi Drivers really hate cyclists, came very close to being flattened this morning while on a Dublin Bike, I had to give the side of his car a slap to warn him I was there, he then turned into me altogether and started abusing the life out of me. Told me he'd 'do' me if I touched his car again. I probably don't need to tell ye what happened next

Not particularly (I've seen you in Lycra for example, that's enough to disturb any young mind ). And yes, 99% of the stuff on that feed is what most people would consider innocuous. But this is the cycling forum. Not the 'Kortni Kennedy' glam shot forum. I think a warning is a reasonable thing to suggest.

The family have said that justice hasn't been served so I would guess it might be appealed alright. A hit and run resulting in death, banned for driving having never even having a license, 15 prior convictions, and the judge sees this as at the lower end of medium severity?

traprunner

Surely the DPP will appeal that sentence.

Yeah and he also completed a skills course!

They say he's at a low risk of offending. So he finally learned his lesson after reoffending 15 times already? FFS.

Not only was he disqualified from driving at the time, he had NEVER held a driving licence and had been disqualified from driving THREE times.

In fairness they do appear to be mostly actual cyclists rather than random models in high heels draped over bikes.

That's not a very strong defence I'm making.

However, with ParcelWizard, I get my deliveries straight to an address of my choosing and on a day I select.

On top of this they do not seem to have weight/size restrictions.

Cannot fault Parcel Motel. I've used them about four times in the last three years, and twice I've missed collection deadlines - once due to an A&E visit, and this weekend when something arrived earlier than expected while I was away. Both times they've waived fees in goodwill gestures after I asked nicely. Just brilliant!

I have always found them very good to deal with.

I used to use them a lot and they really shook up the market. However, with ParcelWizard, I get my deliveries straight to an address of my choosing and on a day I select. It's so much more convenient.

Old footage/photos of TDF/Giro etc. often show riders reaching back to change gear with such shifters.

New bicycle collection/delivery website.
Looks like it's mostly UK to UK but international rates are available.
