    Such a scumbag thing to do. Unless they were friends with the person. It would still be kind of harsh but maybe they do that sort of thing to each other.

    What is wrong with people? How the fuçk can you find that funny. You've just pushed a cyclist off a bike into a ditch when there doing about 15km and your pushing them in a car doing what looms about 50km/60km.

    What would be funnier is if the little scummer fell out the window doing it.

    How did you deduce it was travellers in the car?


    Regardless it's appalling behaviour

    Thankfully no, but I was talking to a work mate during the week who was telling me that he's regularly had things thrown at him along his commute from Naas to Dún Laoghaire (along the N7)

    Absolutely. They may have been Koreans for all we know.

    You have to think that apart from the sheer brain-deadness of this act, it may be inspired by all the anti-cyclist rhetoric you see on forums, social media and news/video articles...

    Is this not a simple thing to track down or what? Can they track where the video was uploaded from or what happens ?

    Its mad how people can go on like this. Like I understand the odd driver driving by to close or whatever as ****e happens but this kind of stuff is ridiculous.

    Would love to see an artic coming in the opposite direction and pushing the scummers into the ditch

    It's nearly happened to me on Manor Place in Stoneybatter before. the car was coming against me, and I copped the chap in the passenger seat was in a bit of a strange position with the window open, and ducked into a parking space about the same time the car passed, and the driver tried pushing out through the window.

    Too busy not being injured to get car reg, but rang Gardai, said they'd had another few reports and would send a car 'round. In fairness they stopped by, and I saw them around the same time on that street a few times over the next week or so. Whilst horrible to be chucked into the ditch and bushes at speed, it happening in someplace like Stoneybatter where you're going to land on either a car, concrete or tarmac would be real nasty.
