Yeah, was idiocy to try cross the track at such a shallow angle, especially on a bike with 23mm wide tyres, at least he can laugh at himself.

You serious? Get on your bike!

Literally, get on a bike, you have to look to your side and behind occasionally to see whats around you! All the camera is doing is following the direction of his head!

I think that would be a tragedy, but I see a lot fewer (any?) people wishing physical harm to her than to the cyclist. To be honest, there's an incredible number of posters condoning violence against someone who was merely annoying, an awful lot of cowardly "not saying I would do it, but would love to see it" comments.

There is a point to be made for "attack the post, not the poster" style analysis though. I like the idea of saying "the way she handled that was bad" over "she is bad at handling things", although I clearly need to find simpler language for it...

No way, its attached the helmet but its no more distracting than the helmet itself. He's looking around to see whats around, so what are they going to ban cameras now? Plenty of car/van drivers, motorcyclists use cameras, its not like anyone is holding the thing, its fixed and running away on its own.

I simply dont get the whole, I hope he walks into a bar and someone thumps him if he opens his gob or is identified, or if I saw that guy he'd say nothing to me or he'd know about it attitude, thats a sinister thing for people to say, and is much worse than anything he is up to. The fact people are saying this or suggest thats what they are thinking or contemplating.
Its one thing to snigger if he comes off the bike, but to want someone to cleave him out of it to boot is a bit concerning.

What???

We can't be held responsible if someone reacts ina completely unreasonable way to her stupidity being publicly aired.

If anyone were to behave in such a way, whoever started or contributed to this thread would have absolutely nothing to apologize about.

If you act the idiot in public, you have to realize that was a public thing you did there. Get over it and move on.

No, he wouldn't.

If she is in such a fragile mental state that something like this sent her off the deep end then both herself and her entire support system are in serious trouble. She would have had to been either ignoring all advice to get help or the people around would have been completely clueless as to her state of mind.


And again, that's a massive straw man, nobody in this thread has wished harm on the woman, a lot of us pointed out she was being an idiot and she deserved the stick, because she was and she does.


When compared to the harm wished on the man by certain posters in this thread, if someone does attack him and injure him in the next few weeks and claims "that's for the lads on boards" are the people who wished him harm on this thread to blame? No, they aren't, the idiot who attacks him is to blame.

Yep, because friends and family are never completely clueless as to a suicide victims state of mind.........

You're my favourite poster on boards. I'm quite surprised that you're so ardently fighting this woman's corner. The cyclist is clearly a busybody type looking for a things to complain about, but that's neither here nor there in this case. The woman in question is filth though, using such tactics to try to detract from her being in the wrong. There isn't enough evidence to draw the conclusion that she's mentally ill, but in the absence of any further information the video does suggest she's a grade A cnut. If she topped herself because of this there'd be nobody to blame but herself. It'd be her own hands carrying out a drastic action to deal with the results of her own idiocy.

Ends up an amicable resolution, I think as I said earlier he indeed flipped it in the OP video but yet here his mood is better. Must of been a bad bay for both cyclist and motorist in the OP video as it looks like both had a good day in the below vid

I'm not at all surprised that the woman felt threatened and reacted the way she did, the cyclist seems very aggressive. The woman made an error while driving like we all do sometimes, the guy should be ashamed of himself and could do with anger management classes.

FYP.

Anyone

Watched a few of his vids as well as the one in the OP, just a query though, has the cyclist ever published his details? He is very quick to upload videos of others and their reg plates, just wondering has he said who he is, or shown his face?

1. She was the one bullying him!

Avocados are fine, but I liked when you were definitive. You've sold out man. That woman is a fcuking bitch no matter what way the avocado is sliced. I don't think she's unstable at all, I think her behaviour is quite calculated, which is all the more concerning.

I'm sorry but ya wha?

The cyclist may have been rude but was in no way aggressive. She on the other hand opened her car door, an agressive act in such a situation, and proceeded to make false allegations against the chap.

I watched that, and thought yeah, bit of an arse, close call, but move on. At least he didnt go off on one.

Then I thought this must be some size of a roundabout? Nothing but exists.

So watched it again. He is going around this roundabout, and not taking any exits. In this 2 minute clip, he actually passes the exit he eventually takes at the end, before his incident. So there would have been no incident if he took the exit he was intending on when he came to it.

So I would have to ask, why would anyone purposely not take their intended exit, and just keep going round and round? So he can eventually come across a car who goes through him and he can post his video on youtube? Does he really cycle around intending on finding trouble?

From this video, I would certainly have to say yes. Its as if he is wanting to get upset with someone and is actively trying to find trouble, as someone earlier who has seen him cycle also said.

That said, both the woman in the OP and the driver in that video above are wrong, but its as if he is looking for these people so he can either have a row and put them up on youtube.

Verbally abusing someone is wrong. I can't call you every name in the sun and say to myself "well i did nothing wrong there" - I would be insulting you!

But a person can't go around tearing into people without expecting someone to eventually hit them. The way the world works.

The question isn't clear.

People suffering from depression are sometimes capable of acting reasonably.

People who take their own lives whilst suffering from clinical depression are medically unwell. They are not acting reasonably. Again - a stranger might think that sad, but cannot, and should not, take responsibility for it.

Not sure where you think this line of thought is taking your point, if any...

I'm not buying it. You are absolutely welcome to call me every name under the sun, and that absolutely is insulting, but I still have no right to get violent in response. I might toss out a few names of my own, but that's only fair, right?

Saying "The way the world works." is just a weak way of condoning it. The world is not some static unchanging system, it can be changed! But on this particular point, you are clearly fine with the current state of affairs, I am not.

At least he was nice enough to all involved when he did converse with them.

To reiterate my last post, I would support his cycling style, but not his approch on dealing with confrontation or incidents.

Although it makes me wonder how unsafe it is for cyclists in Dublin. I often commuted across southwest london for almost two and half years, and dont recall as many near misses as this seems to have had.

Agree with you 100%. The first screenshot on the you tube screen shows him approaching the Barnhill road turn entrance / exit with Albert road being the exit immediately behind him. When the clip actually starts he is between Barnhill Road and Killiney Road. Passes Avondale road, Glenageary Road and then has the incident at Albert Road. It is plausible that he cycled up Albert Road with the intention of looping back around but was clearly intent on passing Albert Road again.

There is an interesting point about this roundabout. AFAIK this was the first roundabout in Ireland that gave cyclists the right of way in their cycle lane (dangerous and downright stupid to be honest and I say that as someone who cycles as well as drives) If you were a militant cyclist looking for an altercation this would be the place to go as drivers would have had no experience of the scenario. I'd lay good money on it that he was cycling around and around waiting for someone to cut him off.

The roundabout cycle lane was subsequently taken back out after a number of incidents with cyclists occured - one which was fatal (I'm not 100% certain if the fatality occurred on the roundabout itself though to be fair - it was reported as being on Barnhill Road at Killiney Towers)

Sure it's like anything in life, if you go looking for trouble it will find you.

Cycling around Dublin city centre is only as dangerous as you want it to be, well for the most part anyway. Every day you encounter situations but thankfully most sensible people just get on with their own business and carry on down the road.

This chap may be heading for an early heart attack considering the amount of stress he seems to want to bare, that's his own lookout. But he's not endangering anyone else.

People like that woman in the jeep are a danger to all around them though. Who knows what kind of trouble she might land someone in?
