Hi all,

This is not a troll post or anything like it before anyone jumps down my throath.

I live in Dublin and this is becoming quite an issue and just wanted to see if i could find out why some cyclists dont use the lanes provided for them.

Last night i was driving on a main road in the bus lane as cars are allowed after 7pm. While driving, a guy on a bike was in the bus lane and right beside him is a huge cycle lane but he opted to cycle on the road. Without warning he decided to swerve right out in front of me which cause me to jam on and nearly cause an accident. After the traffic went passed me i asked him to stop and i asked him why doesnt he use the cycle lane provided and he went into a rant about all drivers are scum and i should have been more careful, fair enough if he thinks that but why not use the lane that was basically made to keep him safe.

This is getting quite common in Dublin and i wanted to know why do a huge amount of cyclists use the road when there is a great cycle lane right beside them?

As i said this isnt me having a go, i just feel that its safer if cyclists use the lane made for them and keep yourselves safe
