Thank god we’ve finally realised how important cycling is and trying to construct infrastructure to make sure it’s safe(Tralee)

1. I’ve already reported it before somebody says.

2. This probably isn’t even on the list of the top 100 things wrong with Tralee

3. The Guardian had a picture story of crappy bike lanes in the UK, here:

   [https://www.theguardian.com/environment/gallery/2009/nov/05/readers-worst-cycle-lanes](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/gallery/2009/nov/05/readers-worst-cycle-lanes)

   IIRC, there’s a website and / or book about the topic, too.

4. Cycle straight into it at full speed and fuck your shit up then sue the city council.

5. It looks as if it is to stop/ slow a cyclist down I that brick paving area is a footpath.

6. I have seen a road where half more than half of each lane it a bike path

7. [deleted]

8. If only you could go around it???? My god cyclists will complain about anything

9. Know where I’m off to, to get my claim tomorrow.

10. Target fixation, head for the pole, claim later!!

11. Did somebody say claaaaaaim

12. Well if red lights can’t stop the fuckers, maybe this will…

13. We have bus/bicycle lanes! The most elephantine and the most vulnerable road users lumped into one Innocent solution. Whegh!?

14. Who ever got the contract for those shitty bollards must have made a fortune, they are everywhere

15. Oh ffs 🤦🏼‍♀️

16. So the ducker will trip over the pole with its bike when it tries to rush through the red light. Good.

17. You had 1 job like

18. There, I’ve done it.

19. In a recent poll of cyclists, 98% said:

    “aaaaarggghh, who put that there”

20. Paint is not intrastructure. Honestly I’m amazed at how many bike users ireland has with such poor bike infrastructure. Would love to see more protected bike lanes…

21. Well, that’s definitely a shit-post…

22. So simple. Yet, so elegant

23. Dya not hear It’s the new Rose of Tralee semi final bonanza…

    “Think you’re the next Rose of tralee? All participants must cycle through town with no helmets, in debs dresses… only 5 will get through to the final.”

24. If this is where I think it is wasn’t that knocked over about a week or so ago, like completely flattened as you turn the corner by the bank?

25. On the one hand, what do they expect to happen.

    On the other, if I were out for a walk and watched some cyclist hit that I might have a chuckle or two after making sure they were safe.

26. I was in America recently and I found it interesting that the cycle lanes were between the footpath and where the cars can park, a lot safer.

27. Court case waiting to happen lol

28. Why these things looks like somebody badly added them with paint?

29. Just going by the dust around that one and not the others it looks like this was put in just for the photo……

30. cycle into it and claim

31. they should have put the other two inside the bike lane as well. make it like a fun obstacle course that you have to get through

32. It’s at the end of a hill where the bike lane appears to hit some kind of pedestrian crossing or pedestrianized area. It’s there to slow cyclists down so they don’t hit people I would imagine.
