A cyclist had run into the side of a car which was crossing the cycle way to get into the public car park there. The gentleman seemed okay. Understandably very pissed off, probably will be sore in the morning.

The side effect is that cards are entering and exiting faster and not looking for cyclists. Its an accident waiting to happen (or another one to happen), just a matter of time before there is a serious injury.

Loads of issues from other cyclists with lights on full power/strobe mode cycling on the 2 way cycle track towards me! Pls turn your lights from "road warrior" mode to low power when on a two way cycle track! Not to mention the two A**holes who cycled two abreast at speed against me on a narrow curve in the cycle track where the pedestrian crossing is from the cycle track to the old Howth road...Pee-ricks the pair of them!
