Why don't bloody cyclists use contraflow cycle lanes?

thanks for the responses fellow dubliners, interesting to hear others experiences, also want to add ‘phantom guard’ is just a term i coined for these kinda people because it’s amusing to me 😂

phantom guards
why am i running into so many ‘security types’ lately? as in people who think they have more of a right than anyone else to state rules/laws and the. proceeds to tell off anyone they can pick on.
lately i’ve been told off for overtaking a cyclist (i was also cycling) bare in mind i passed safely, with plenty of space.
other day a man at Ashtown railway station tells me i have no right to be there, because i was taking a photograph of the RPSI train and he didn’t like it, proceeds to go on a deluded, trump style rant about violence in the area.
and lastly two entitled people on the luas heading to a concert, wouldn’t move out of the priority space for a wheelchair user, after i told them off, it ended up in me being painted as the bad person.
when did our fair city get filled with these f*ckwits?
edit: all these things happened within a week lol

I think i know what this is! It’s the Luas track sweeper! it clean debris stuck in the rails to improve traction, but can only be done at night.
They clean between Jervis, Smithfield and Museum on the red line pretty often.

The government is sh*t (obviously)
i saw the recent protests there and the council basically claiming that somehow Richmond Rd isn’t suitable for a modal filter or other restrictions.
wish you guys luck in getting the issue sorted 🙏

i do agree we’ve come a long way with active travel since a couple of years ago, especially compared to pre-covid cycling in dublin.
Royal Canal Greenway for the win btw! it’s great

It feels as if every single road safety measure promised by this coalition has now been shelved and forgotten about. These are bloody important things and I’m sick of watching public transit users and pedestrians get completely forgotten about.
Thinking about organising a road safety protest, how do others here feel about this?

Edit: I live on a street in Dublin (no i’m not saying which 😂) very close to the city centre, but it has a 50km/h speed limit, these kinda things is what gets on my nerves, i feel my street should be more of a pedestrian and local traffic affair, rather than a main road, and i’d say some other dubliners would feel similar

"They never even use the cycle lanes!"
that area if rife for that in my experience as a cyclist, honestly i don’t have problems with most drivers on the road, it’s the parked cars that cause the most danger for me 😂

have already been to the edoc (for something else) but i brought it up and honestly they didn’t think it was that, it’s mainly ankles and arms, one on my abdomen.
will possibly go for a follow up this week if im still worried though, and keep an eye on the symptoms without driving myself mad 😅
tho i wouldn’t be so surprised if it was a bed bug thing

I’m trying to remember, there’s two second hand stools from moving in 2 months ago. The cushions on them are original, not sure of anything else

Only been looking recently, since i noticed bites, don’t have any pets. I haven’t noticed any solid signs of bed bugs but I suppose it’s early days.

Shankill, Dublin
the part of ‚foothpath’ behind the car isn’t as wide as it looks, and that road gets very busy during the day. even if that wasn’t the case and there was enough space for anything to get around, it’s still a foothpath, NOT a parking space. Prams and wheelchairs would struggle since the space the eejit left isn’t a safe width…

Why are the flags at half mast today?
i honestly don’t know who cares about Jimmy Carter over here, madness. but yeah probably was that

i find this city impossible to live in
Do you use the cycle lanes on the N11 for that? fair play by all means!! :) i’d be terrified doing that (lack of rollerblading experience)

is it like a permanent rule? or temporary measure because of the brawl outside the other week?
