    Being reported as a death by The Journal now too.

    The comments about cyclists being dangerous over there are disgusting.

    RIP to the poor man :(

    Again RIP.

    Is it just me that has a burning desire to know the details of these recent deaths?

    As a daily commuter and weekend cyclist, if there's something to be learned here that may help me and other cyclists stay safe, i want to know about it. Also drivers need to hear these details too... (obviously too soon for these details)

    Furthermore, we need tv adverts that are as thought provoking as the drink driving adverts showing the carnage of what can happen.

    Probably not the place to discuss it but I have the same concern...

    RIP to the cyclist. Thoughts are with his family and friends.

    RIP another tragedy. All too close to home for me - the stretch on the quays from the Guinness brewery to park gate street is the worst on my commute.

    Not here and not now. The authorities need to establish cause/fault and any discussion of specifics here could prejudice any investigation. It can also be potentially distressing to anyone who may know the victim and reading the thread.

    Wider threads are generally fine, except in the aftermath of such a tragic incident as that almost inevitably leads to comparisons and possible speculation.

    RIP

    RIP.

    Been there today with my kids in a trailer, the road before the entrance to the park was blocked off completely by Gardai... My first thought was that someone must have died if they're blocking such a busy route... didn't take this seriously until now :(
