When there's a large bunch if them together holding up traffic people get fed up being behind them and take stupid chances to get past. Just two of many "beautiful" incidents that I caught on the helmet cam today. (apologies for the language) Cyclist just moves out into centre of road for no reason without looking:https://youtu.be/szZF-Yvrx4E Moron runs another car off the road trying to get past a murder of cyclistshttps://youtu.be/snuj6dsRtxw

Also a cyclist, keep in a much as I safely can, ride single file on most cases. Yes I over take, you know like bikers need to on occasion. Also, having done a hill walk had walk part of Wicklow Gap road with my kids only to meet a f'ing k##t on a motor bike clocking over a ton, scrambled into the ditch. But hey he's a biker and that's okay he can do no wrong. Right?
