Where do I want him to cycle in the middle of the lane
Personally I go out of my way to avoid roads like these – it’s absolutely no fun being on the side of a motorway with cars zooming by at really intimidating speeds.
National route, so yes, it’s legal.
Whether it’s wise is another question
Should you be driving if you don’t know the answer?
They are allowed to use them on N-roads, not on M-ways.
I saw 9 or 10 vehicles drive up the hard shoulder of the M50 on Thursday evening simply because there was a bit of a queue at the Blanchardstown exit but a cyclist legally cycling on a national route is what gets brought up here.
Motorist complains wherever cyclists cycle lol
Cyclists are allowed in the lane, but the question is whether they should be allowed on a high speed highway. I don’t think bikes should be allowed on big highways, but I don’t see signs prohibiting them either.
You’d rather be held up by him cycling in the main lane? He’s doing you a favour by cycling there
Yes, it’s permitted on N roads, and is generally much safer than cycling in a travel lane. Cyclists aren’t permitted at all on motorways, though.
As far as I know it the speed limit is 100 or below they can cycle on the road but not on one marked 120. It is not good really to be on one though at any speed around 100 or 120 anyway.

Go here and scroll down to motorway signs it gives you list of vehicles not allowed on motorways. https://ladybirddrivingschool.ie/road-signs-ireland/
Yeah hes allowed. not a nice place to cycle. But hes on a TT bike, so i imagine he wants to do intervals undisturbed.
Another tarmac terrorist at it again 😠
Would you rather get stuck behind them?
It’s called a hard shoulder. And he’s actually allowed me in the main lane should he choose
