Cyclists need to give their fellow pedlars a wide berth

Bicycles are everywhere. There has been an exponential growth in bicycle transport since last March when Covid struck.

The Road Safety Authority has been running an ad for some time stressing the importance of vehicles giving a wide berth to cyclists.

Is there any chance that cyclists would do likewise and give their fellow, albeit slower two-wheelers, more room when passing.

One slight wobble when one of these dangerous cyclists pass, then its curtains.

The pure pleasure of cycling through the city early in the morning.

I cycled yesterday across the city just after 6am. Not a cyclist in sight and certainly no-one  passing within millimetres of me.

If you cycle or are about to take to the bicycle, please give a wide birth to fellow cyclists.
