Dublin Cyclist's Wild Frontier

Dublin cyclists acting recklessly by going the wrong way on one way streets and cycling on the wrong side of the road. They even do this into oncoming traffic.

Is this a campaign to ban cars from the city center?

[FEXRO]

@sparky191 No. It's not a campaign. Overall it's no more than the observation that there is no one running the city of Dublin.

Today's Sunday Times did an article on this but they've gotten a few names wrong and missed a few points.

Dude, your points are so heated. I'm a bike courier and, trust me, there is a difference between "bad cycling" and "unlawful cycling". Man, all of us cyclists break rules of the road on a regular basis but that doesn't mean we're going to cycle in front of speeding traffic or aim to mow down pedestrians at traffic lights. This is a particular way of cycling which many of us can do quite successfully. It might be against the rules of the road but if you're happy to lick ass, then be my guest :)

@lecomerford Yes, that bike could've been a fixed-gear bike or have coaster brakes installed

What the photos in this video show what an appalling city Dublin is to cycle around, always trying to wend your way through the motorised one-way system against the odds. The cyclist spends all day 'in the trench' with the lethal metal boxes on wheels. But, incredibly, the guy who made the video seems to be pointing the finger at cyclists !! You need to get on a bike yourself mate and see what it's like ..........

rory gallagher will not be happy,i tell ye

[mrphatyack]

you seriously lack knowledge about bikes and cycling and have successfully embarrassed yourself.

i look forward to your other videos

I suggest a trip to Amsterdam would do you good. You might see a very similar city to Dublin swarming in non congestive bicycles where traffic accidents statistics are some of the lowest in the world.... That and you could have a couple of spliffs and chill the fuck out!

[djkerrs]

haha, you realy have to much time on your hands!!! if you realy wanna be a camera vigilante how about taking photos of HGV trucks driving up and down the quays illegally or hang out in pub carparks and photograph people who are drink driving.. those people are endangering other peolpes lifes..

I'm a driver, cyclist and pedestrian in Dublin city centre. Afraid it's no wild west...FEXRO,have you ever been to India, Thailand, London even? As iamscience rightly points out, our mate in the photo is on a brakeless fixie....which for those of you who don't understand cycling means the rider brakes by exerting backward pressure on the pedals. Cycle couriers have fighter pilot like reflexes and observational skills: their lives depend on it. I've never seen a courier cause an accident.
