all - while there can be some genuinely interesting/useful debate around potential causes, can we keep it to other threads?

RIP. Every time I go for a cycle I always worry about being passed too close, knocked off, injured etc. It really happened for this poor young lad, RIP.

Terrible news. God rest him. Thoughts are with his family, and any rescuers at the scene. RIP.

RIP that man. A son/ brother/ uncle/ friend who left home this morning to go to school/ work/ college, and is now never coming home. This is horrendous. Stay safe out there folks!

This is so sad. The death of another young cyclist, so soon after the young guy from Bettystown. I think we need an annual garda report on cyclist deaths which analyses the causes, hopefully in a way that doesn't identify people, and avoids questions of blame in individual cases. There has to be important lessons to be learned.

Shocking stuff. A nineteen year old healthy man at the start of adulthood. Very sad. My sincere condolences to family and friends.

Saw the scene on the way home from work and feared the worst. Hearing a 19 year old young man has died makes me sick to my stomach. Thoughts with all his family and friends. RIP.

Shocking and tragic news. 19 yrs old and a whole life to live. Rest In Peace young man.
I would not know where to start from if this happened to someone I knew. Condolences to his family and friends.

Heard this on the news this morning and couldn't believe it, not again

. RIP and condolences to his family, so so sad. On my way into work then saw a woman on the ground on the quays (didn't look critical but nonetheless).

Terrible news, saw the scene on the way home last night. Condolences to the family

Shocking. Only moved to Southside recently and that junction and the next nearest town are dangerous for a cyclist.

Gardai were at the junction this morning and saw them stopping a cyclist.
