    Yep I always like a bit of pothole dodgems on my cycle home. Perhaps if I remove the rubber from my wheels I can use the tramlines as intended.

    I think have a mental map of all the potholes and tramlines burned into my brain at this stage.

    The reality is that that cycle lane is the best in Dublin, its a great spin, to a great destination (Howth) with great views on a sunny day across the sweep of Dublin Bay.

    And yet I cannot cycle it without being reminded of how ****e our local governance is. Bins throughout the tracks, large poles and signs marking the end of the cycle lane and then the start of it again five feet later because a narrow lane traverses it (presumably some Fianna Failer held the contract for signs with the local authority). The abrupt end of the track at the wooden bridge without any thinking as to how the cyclists get on to the road based track on the other side of the road, or back across the road when the segregated lane starts again. The steps that intersect part of the lane without warning around Bayside (could genuinely kill someone cycling along while talking to a companion).

    Or the fact that there's no thinking about the lane as regards other users. I have been out and back that lane probably almost a hundred times, I'm a committed cyclist, but I met my missus and toddler out there for fish and chips the other day and when he got out of the car I told him to walk over to me, forgetting the fecking thing was a cycle lane and having a cyclist come around the bend of the particular car park which adjoins the lane at high speed. I'm a cyclist and I forgot it was a cycle lane. What hope do the average car full of kids have when they park there? What hope does a cyclist traveling at speed have when a kid runs out from behind a car parked behind a van? There's no marking or segregation there to give the impression its anything other than a footpath.

    I dream of a full segregated cycle lane, from the city centre to North County Dublin, and to South County Dublin. And similar lanes going throughout the city to allow commuters to travel around otherwise than in a heavy chunk of polluting metal, alone.

    And I'm fcuking tired of waiting for something which really should be simple.

    I'm always disappointed to hear of new cycle lanes. Ones like Clontarf are so close to perfect, I think an investment making them seamless would be the best the council could make. The turns are too sharp, the junctions aren't pleasant and the segregation isn't adequately signposted, but I think that's the last 20%.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,753 ✭✭✭✭Leroy42


    The turns are too sharp, the junctions aren't pleasant and the segregation isn't adequately signposted, but I think that's the last 20%.

    So apart from being badly designed, poorly thought out and inadequate consideration given to other users of the space they are perfect?


  • Registered Users Posts: 933 ✭✭✭alentejo


    as bad as things are now between the 2 cycle paths, I am dreading the 18 months to 2 years to complete this work and all the messing that goes with same. Once this works begin, I am going to use the Howth Rd for rides to Howth :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,861 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    I gotta say, the Howth Road is lovely now. I use it most days heading into the city (to avoid the southerly winds when cycling on the coast). Perhaps the best section of bike path in Dublin City?

    Not as great coming from the city heading toward Howth (still a few rough patches), but there's a section approaching Raheny that has the widest cycle lanes I've ever seen (about 3 bikes wide).

    The bike lane from Fairview to Wooden Bridge is a joy compared to the bumpy patchwork of concrete slabs (it's not even tarred in sections?) that is considered a "road" so it'll be a pleasure once they let us skip the lot. I agree that some of the points are ridiculously tight and stupid sign-posts positioned directly in the middle of flow of traffic.

    Also who do we ask to trim back the palm trees that block visibility of *that* corner section (we all know the one I mean)

    After Kilbarrick, the bike lane eventually gets pretty crap. Safer to be out in the pedestrian lane when no leashless dogs are about rather than deal with a 1ft wide bike path.

    Back to the thread discussion, there's no way they are going to start work on this "after May 14th" as the Battle for the Bay is on around the 24th May, then there's the whole host of activities going on during the summer.

    Once the summer is over they'll say they have to delay due to bad weather in Autumn... then Winter will be the same... so eh... maybe time to close the thread before we get more depressed? ;)

    That car park use be separated from the cycle track by a hedge and a fence, but the council redesigned it and removed the boundaries. Many cars park with their wheels up against the kerb such that the rear overhangs onto the cycle track.

    I think optics rather than usability are to the fore when our councils 'design' cycle facilities.

    Even when there is signage, there are joggers who deliberately ignore them.

    During twilight last Feb, one of you fellow fcukers parked there with an empty bike rack sticking two feet into the bike path at face height - apologies again for taking it down before it caused serious injury. (video/gif if you don't believe me: http://gfycat.com/PartialWellgroomedEeve )

    I think the fencing makes more sense as with the bumps people will still walk straight on to the cycle track without realizing its a cycle track

    Death trap. I hate that spot. It's always full of people hopping out of their cars. A few years ago I used to encounter a running club stretching on the cycle track there.

    Would be a harder case to argue though as a fence could be a trip hazard if low (or block access to the green area if high which is probably why it was removed in the first place).

    The concrete blocks would cost a max of €500 to install on that stretch.

    Anyway I've mentioned it to my local councillor who says he'll bring it up at the next meeting.

    You know what they will do don't you?

    They will put the concrete blocks across the cycle path to stop the cyclists!

    I hope you all realise that this is pretty much the best things are going to ever be. We have decent roads, some decent cycle paths and still have open racing.

    My bet is that within a couple of years, a cycle licence will be required (with the cost and training involved), mandatory helmets, fitted electric turn signals, hi-vis vest only and lights on at all times.

    have to disagree. Was on part of it last night finishing off a spin and we dont have decent cycle paths. the surface on parts of that cycle way are good and fast but our cycle lanes are dangerous to cyclists and pedestrians.

    But that's where my confusion lies.

    They didn't set a date before their election, they set a date mid-term, then moved it, moved it, and again, ad infinitum. Why not just set the date once you are 100% sure you have all resources and policies set down?

    If anything the lack of organisation or leadership on the matter would make you *less* likely to vote for them again.

    If they said "realistically we'll have everything ready to start work in Feb 2016", most of us would be happy with that.

    I've never really been interested in local politics (never really had anything that affected me personally until this project came along) so I've heard people talk about "broken promises" that councils made but never experienced it firsthand.
    Part of the reason I set this thread up was to track the timeline of one such project that I have an interest in, just to see for myself if "promises are broken".

    It's 2 years now since I first posted, which was around the time that work on the 2km section between wooden bridge and the causeway was supposed to have started and I've been able to experience and illustrate one such example of dates being moved constantly. Gotta say it's mind-boggling and I now appreciate what people mean by ineffectual councils and broken promises.

    Irish Times - Ramps to divide walkers and cyclists on Dublin Bay route
    'raised defined crossing points' for pedestrians, planting low hedges at other points, installing warning signs for pedestrians and cyclists, moving the cycle path in some locations and constructing new footpaths at others.
    cyclists need to get it into their heads that they need to yield to pedestrians.

    There also needs to be signs on the M50 and all motorways to tell motorists to yield to pedestrians ;)

    It says that people will have to yield at the car park entrances where the cycle path currently has priority. Why do people have to give up priority to every entrance and driveway when using Irish cycle paths?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,753 ✭✭✭✭Leroy42


    It really is bizarre that we spent so much money on building dedicated cycle paths and then spend even money on signs to tell cyclists using the path that they needs to give way to others!

    Either it is a cycle path or it isn't. Whilst of course we need to avoid accidents and if people walk across then everyone should do everything to avoid (just like on the road) but having signs saying that cyclists must give way clearly indicate that the lane is only usable if no pedestrians are are it.

    Why not have signs telling pedestrians to yield to cyclists and watch out?

    They have these in the Phoenix park now (I partly helped by sending mail after mail after mail until they relented). At first they were ineffective, but there are noticeably less people now on those paths (except weekends of course)

    I have to wonder in the park would it make more sense to close of some of the other side roads and just use them for cyclists? The problem with pedestrians on the existing centre lanes is people parking their cars in the car parking space and walking on to what they perceive is a footpath. Or walking in the main gates and walking on what they perceive is a footpath.

    There is huge scope for a dedicated segregated cycle lane for commuters going through the park, without upsetting people too much and without having to cross over loads of other roads / junctions either as the existing one does.

    There are also a few cul de sac'd roads in the Southern end of the Park already that could be used for this purpose.

    And you've done a great service by posting this thread and keeping it running. It was only when I read the full thing the other night that I realised what a joke this all was.

    The more I think about this stuff the more I realise we need a dedicated agency put in place to promote the development of safe cycling infrastructure. It will never happen on its own and the people who decide these things as it is always have their own agendas with the only appearance of cyclists on it being the need for some tokenesque gesture to them so they can pay lip service to the idea that they are doing something for cycling (c.f. every ****e cycle lane in the country).

    The equivalent of the EPA or the Equality Authority or the HSA or something, all of which have had an influence on their relative regulatory spheres, the State, the private sector and beyond.

    i think if you made roads "bikes only" youd still get pedestrians walking on/in it. just look at the cycle lane were talking about and the amount of people who walk in it

    Yeah but its not that obvious - In ireland paths beside roads, and particularly beside roads where there are literally hundreds of car parking spaces, are footpaths.

    I cycle and yet I ran on that cycle lane for years without realising it was a cycle lane.

    Clontarf.ie just posted an update at
    http://www.clontarf.ie/news/s2s-cycleway-project-important-statement-from-cba-cra
    The Project is scheduled to begin on the 27th of April 2015 for a duration of 16 months. Works in the Bull Lagoon area restricted from April to September so the primary focus is to complete the construction of the retaining walls and remedial works within this timeframe. Works on the cycle & footway route will begin at the end of May commencing at the northern end of the site with replacement footpath works on western side of the carriageway working concurrently.

    I realise this is probably a hypothetical discussion, but is it known what the "planned" route between Alfie Byrne and the Quays is?

    It's not going via the Alfie Byrne Road, it'll be going via Fairview...

    http://irishcycle.com/2014/11/25/delay-with-dublin-bay-cycle-route-at-dollymount-due-to-irish-water-and-coastal-defences/
    Plan B is a more inland route made up of two projects. The first will link the S2S at Clontarf to City Centre via Fairview and North Strand Road (partly shown in black in the map, below) — options for this are being studied and are due to go to planning in the first quarter of 2015. The second project is part of the Royal Canal cycle route between North Strand Road and the Docklands (shown in purple on the map, below) — it’s due to go to planning by the end of the year but construction is only estimated to start in 2016.

    Good to see they are getting everything setup, so it's finally happening people!

    Recorded the following on my new Lidl Camera Sunglasses:

    347090.jpg

    Also had a chat with one of the supervisors, but I forgot my glasses were recording the conversation (my connection is too slow to upload the video anyway), but he said there will be a period where cyclists will need to cross the road at 2 points *OR* will need to cycle on the pedestrian path and he admitted there would be conflict points with pedestrians.

    He said the new path would stretch out to where the current on-road bike path sits (on the coast side), or possibly a little more.

    I guess there has to be pain before the pleasure of new road surfacing.

    yep, well 720p, and to be honest the smaller image does enhance the sharpness somewhat, but I'm very surprised at the quality for €70 and such a low-profile lens.

    It surpasses the quality of some "HD" cameras I've bought for my bike previously.

    There's a thread about them and other cycle-gear Lidl are selling this week:
