Cycling Mikey

Again, you're looking for an argument. I never said or made any assertions about disliking cyclists. I am a cyclist.

My original point which you digressed from is that he could give the cyclists who break the rules at gandalf corner the same grief he gives motorised vehicles with the spiel about "you're getting reported to the police/watch yourself on YouTube later"

He does give out to them. But he says he won't stand in front of them in case they come off their bike and injure themselves - which I think is reasonable enough.

Also there is no point in reporting them to the police as there is no way to identify them. The drivers are all identified through their car reg.

Even if he was confrontational, he was dead right to be confrontational over it.

If your man’s that dense to be driving over paths while trying to argue with someone, he definitely shouldn’t be on his phone in his car, seeing as he has the attention deficit of a goldfish

Their previous iteration in whatever guise that may have been. There was a whole world prior to social media and the hatred towards cyclists was much more compartmentalised.

I don't blame them solely for it but more often than not for something I'd consider low on the risk scale he challenges motorist. Normal pattern ensues he plays the moral high ground motorist gets irate and drives off in an aggressive manner. Now motorist who previously may have had a dislike to cyclists is all wound up. What do you think his reaction to the next cyclist is going to be? Not good would be my guess.

Yes the argument is there for the next incident being as a result of motorist being on his phone or something else. There's no arguing that and I'm certainly not. Do you think anything he's doing is having a positive impact because I'm sure the behaviour of these motorists doesn't change.

I'd be all in favour of a specific task force in the police/Gardaí that would tackle this and not have cyclists policing this at all. This guy would be great to have and 10 others like him.

"Hating cyclists isn't new, and isn't down to social media activists. Standing up to that hat is fairly new, and we need more of it."

That's not what I said though is it and if you think it hasn't been exacerbated by social I'm sorry but you're a fool.

Do you think the actions of Cycling Mikey, Cycling Gaz is having any significant impact on cyclists safety?

That's a lot of hate. Does everyone on the road hate everyone else? All those pedestrians stepping onto the road to get around obstacles, not bothering to cross at lights. The cars parked up on pavements, in loading bays, pulled in to bus stops. The delivery vans and taxis that just lash in the hazards and stop wherever they like. The motorists who have never heard of an indicator, who insist on driving 2ft from your rear bumper, who break the speed limit on every category of road, who think the middle lane on the motorway is for cruising at 90kmph, who think amber means accelerate?

Everyone using the road must be an as***le and hate everyone around them.
