@dublincyclist But you can run reds, then forcing all the cars that struggle to pass safely to re pass? You give cyclists a bad name.

If your on a pushbike and the cars are slower moving or static do you not think it might be an idea to then pass them on the right rather than undertaking?

@dublincyclist Pay some fuckin road tax first

How do these people get driving licenses? I have a very polite friend who failed his test 3 or 4 times, yet these fuckers are on our roads treating cyclists like extra crash padding!

Always give cyclists as much space as you would a car when overtaking.Logical,right?

[shanehogandublin]

Many drivers underestimate the speed of speedy cyclists (like you and me), and assume that a car can always take a bike. There is a specific point of law that makes 'overtaking causing inconvenience' illegal. You really should report these guys.

Criminally rude car drivers.

I tend to look behind me first and give them a glare so they see me.. doesn't always work though!
