Colm O'Regan: Cycling courtesy to combat rage-bait

There is no point in sneering at motorists for their choice. But equally there is no benefit in motorists treating cyclists badly.

Colm O'Regan: "When we, who live and work close enough to commute by bike, do so, we make more room on the road for people who have no choice. With that one simple sentence he draws a common cause. Some people have to drive. For reasons that are no one else’s business."

Warning: may contain traces of cycling. (Rage-bait is the Oxford Word of the Year so I’m just letting you know now.)

Robin Kilroy is a pilot at Dublin Airport. He cycles there on an e-bike along some of the terrible back roads of North Dublin. He posts his experiences on his Facebook page.
