Cycle infrastructure planned for south Dublin

Absolute nonsense posting,its like talking to five year olds.

The car drivers are beeping out of frustration.

They see an empty cycle lane which is utilising a third of the road.

Then they are stuck behind cyclists who dont want to cross busy roads to get into a cycle lane that goes nowhere.

And, no, you cant stay on the road because there is no space for you, the road is barely wide enough to allow two cars to pass, you eventually end up having to cycle on the footpath, its all a stressful horrible experience and enough to put me off cycling.

its all such a stupid waste of time and energy and meanwhile other cycling lanes which are heavily used are in an atrocious state.

I am perfectly capable of making a right turn and thats all i want to do, I want to cycle on a road I cycled on for twenty five years and not have to go into a ridiculous two way cycle lane that goes nowhere and has no possibility of ever being extended so cyclists arent thrown out onto a narrow road.

And it is like talking to five year olds, two wheels good, four wheels bad, round and round we go.

If you turned left onto an unfamiliar road and a car appeared within inches of you blaring its horn you would be highly stressed, this person is over sixty and was frightened.

And yes this happens regularly on this road, its sometimes accompanied by drivers shouting use the **** cycling lane.

As I said a third of the road is given over to this white elephant and then they see cyclists in the bit left to drive on. I didnt cause this problem and I will continue to cycle with the traffic unpleasant though it is now.

Hopefully this cycle lane will be removed once people return to work snd normal commutting resumes, it was supposed to be temporary and reviewed.

They get frustrated because there is barely room for cars to pass each other because of a cycle lane thats too wide, how can I make this clearer, I am a resident of over thirty years duration and you are attempting to belittle day to day difficulties I am relating.

You clearly do not live in this area.

I have no idea what representations ambulance services made but quite clearly if cars have nowhere to pull in then they are blocking rescue services, this is a matter of life snd death by maybe ambulance services could buy cargo bikes and cycle with life saving equipment, sure what could go wrong with that.

Its such fun talking to you.

So you have never cycled from the village to the top of Carysfort Avenue but you are maintaining those who have havent had cars blaring their horns at them.

okaaaaaay
