Well, it's a nice theory... </p> crowriver on ""Even experienced cyclists in Dublin think it's riskier than driving"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9082#post-94099 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 17:20:19 +0000 crowriver 94099@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Focus, so it's a bit like Leith then? It's all relative though. Clearly you've never travelled in south east Europe.

My most recent visit was at the beginning of November and my girlfriend and I both agreed we'd never seen so many pedestrians, cyclist and motorists flouting the law and ignoring "common" sense (an oxymoron if ever there was one).</p> <p>With or without engines, people were going through red lights, running across busy road, parking where it was prohibited... it was a miracle that we didn't see anyone hospitalised over that weekend. </p> chdot on ""Even experienced cyclists in Dublin think it's riskier than driving"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9082#post-93822 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 08:38:44 +0000 chdot 93822@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Cycling Science (@CyclingScience1)<br /> 06/12/2012 12:50</p> <p>Even experienced cyclists in Dublin think it's riskier than driving @DCCBeta </p> <p><a href="http://www.ow.ly/fIzsA" rel="nofollow">http://www.ow.ly/fIzsA</a></p> <p>" </p>
