Are you a cyclist who has experienced less-than-favourable interactions with other road users on Irish roads? <\/p>\n
On Monday, Irish Times contributor Sarah Moss<\/a> wrote about a near miss she had with an SUV, and how \u201ccyclists are somehow to make ourselves seen by drivers who have no obligation to look\u201d<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cThis woman swerved into the bike lane to undertake a car turning right, without indicating, and either without checking her mirrors or, more alarmingly, deciding that my life was a price worth chancing to get where she was going a few seconds earlier. <\/p>\n \u201cI fell off, but fairly slowly and on to the pavement, me and my bike bruised and scraped but not seriously hurt,\u201d said Moss. <\/p>\n Research published by Transport Infrastructure Ireland<\/a> in May cited aggressive driver behaviour, speeding, poor cycling infrastructure and the increased size of vehicles as reasons deterring women from getting on their bikes<\/a>. <\/p>\n Are you a cyclist who has experienced problems on the road? We\u2019d like to hear your experience with other road users and the challenges you face. <\/p>\n Have you been involved in a collision or witnessed one?
