    People on mobile phones worry me most. It's the unpredictability of a person distracted thats the worry.

    I think if there's a broken line seperating the road and the track then it's part of the road and can be used as such by traffic. I as a cyclist and motorcyclist respect cyclists in these lanes if on on my momo. But if its free I'll use it. Likewise if I'm commuting and stuck behind a slow moving motorbike in the track I'll chill out and try to catch their eye in their wing mirror which normally prompts them to move out.

    Yeah, I saw a fair number of people cycling with the mobile in hand during the summer months.

    /me adds people cycling with umbrellas to the list.

    @ unionman. Thats the stretch I'm talking about. My better half has nearly been creamed twice in the last month on her way into work and everyday this week I've had someone pull in infront of me. The Air Zound has paid for itself already!
    I've been onto the gardai and they were happy to take the complaint and log it in. The missus has been on too so your photo would be a great addition to the file.

    Not to mention motorbikes filtering between two lanes of stationary traffic on the N4 and not being able to fit through the gap, blocking me. Although to be fair, m/bikes often pull over and let me through - which shows them to be a lot more observant and aware than other motorised road users.

    From working in security I've come up with the solution to such things, similar to an access control list.

    First of all I hate everyone. I assume that everyone I don't know is an asshole. This is at the bottom of the list. Then, only people that treat me nice, let me enter a lane, don't beep at me etc. get added onto the top of the list. This ensures that no asshole escapes my hate and nice people are treated nicely.

    It works well so far and I never need to qualify who exactly I hate!

    Although the guy in Unionman's photo may get an extra rule added as being a super asshole.

    I called the dog warden about a dog that nipped me when I was out on the bike and when I was out running. I know the dogs name, but not his exact address. The dog warden said there is nothing they can do without an address.

    That is mad picture unionman. Looks like the cyclist is fleeing for his life.

    Yeah, it certainly looked that way. The driver just really leaned on him until he had no choice. I was tempted to jump out of the car and make a scene, but I have a knack of coming off real stupid in road rage situations. Instead, when I drew level with the driver, I rolled down my window and told her she looked great on camera.

    I thought the same, but you'd have to be careful. Some of these guys really hammered it down that lane.

    No problem. Maybe we could do a random ourselves, take snaps of a few of the cars and buses doing it and add them to the file? I was hoping the reg would be visible on this one but it isn't. I've even entered a few possible variations into Motorcheck, but none of them worked.

    Quality not quantity my good man/lady.

    Unionman's post above is the only constructive one so far.

    Do most people carry camera's with them these days. I tend to on the bike and generally in the car for other reasons but have found it useful to have in case of incident. Should everyone carry a disposable (sometimes you get them free with car hire places and many truck drivers carry them).

    He sure has the agro nature for it alright. His streams of rage are slightly more comprehensible than Kona though. He's definitely a contender, but he needs to shove more advice down peoples throats to achieve the throne.

    You are very welcome to the forum. Don't pay any attention to abuse! As it happens, I think a 42 is too much for an inner ring, but that's just my personal preference.:pac:

    Obviously different sense of humour there man. I don't count moaning as humour and you don't count criticism as humour. It'll never work.

    You should seriously ask your chainring question, I'd be interested in the answers.

    Like I said, HTFU and carry a camera

    Speaking of Kona, there was a program on DCTV (Dublin Community TV or something like that) where 4th year school students made their own videos...and one of them was called "Bring on the DJ's" (dirt jumps)...and it featured a blond spikey haired fella, who had a Kona firemountain...which he built himself for cheap cos he worked in a bikeshop. Small world eh.
    anyway Tackleberry...the spot is vacant

    Haha this is hilarious stuff, Deise getting his bibknickers in a twist, Raam swinging in with a few blows, really takes the misery outta work, I don't know this Kona fella but I can tell he's my kinda guy, I'd say the reason he's no longer posting is coz winding up all the "gits, clowns and smart arses" in here was just too easy.

    Deise your road rage has now extended into the cyber world, what next? My point still stands, harden the fcuk up, and don't use the "hiding behind a keyboard" tagline, its sad and a little pathetic taking it to that level

    as a car drive, i make a comment.

    i am very respectful of cyclists and motorcyclist but i wonder why you cant be more respectful of my nerves.

    May be some of the other drivers are telepathic but i havent honed these skills just yet, i dont know if you want to change lanes or just go for a little ramble into to the middle of the road unless you signal - you know, just like indicating.

    i only drive to work on the days i have college, my nerves are shot by the time i get to college, i have the unfortunate situation of having to drive up pearse street and gardiner street, there is enough room for both of us on the roads, you could just use the cycle lanes and not the middle of the road.
