Q: "Why don't more kids in Ireland cycle to school?" A: Complete indifference by the motorist towards cycle infrastructure means its just too dangerous to; a self fulfilling prophecy. Colaiste Choilm, Ballincollig this morning pic.twitter.com/wj4YHkdaJ8

Also, Mr bus should obey the lights
he did obey the lights, he was in the yellow box, had to proceed, can’t stop
where are the mas and dads supposed to drop their kids off? they have to pull in or do ya want to fupp them out of the car midway
Would be good enough for some of the.m.
Yes. Tuck and roll, valuable skill for a child to learn.
“where are the mas and dads supposed to drop their kids off?”
– any where other than the cycle lane with an unbroken white line would be fine
Somewhere they can legal stop and pull in perhaps. If such a place doesn’t exist, perhaps they should approach the council. Stopping in a mandatory cycle lane is poor form., they should put up bollards to protect the bike lane.
Paps and rob should head down to cork with their lollypop sticks . That would put a stop to all this messing around in cycle lanes.
And anyway why are all gthese overweight teenagers being driven to school? Wouldnt hurt them at all to walk (darent suggest they run)
Being able to make their own way to and from school is a lesson in independence no classroom can teach them.

Very interesting link SIR. I believe it to be very true, I understand why we have heightened fears about abductions etc because the media fupping love these stories, even when it did not happen. Look at stats and you will see that these crimes are so rare as to be hardly worth worrying about. Way way more danger from domestic careless causing house fires, leaving kids to their own devices on ipads and what not, allowing kids pig out on sugar-dense diets and so on and so on. These are the real dangers, not the Paedos hiding in the bushes.
Judging by that video I’d say they’re way more worried about the traffic.
YEs fair enouigh but I am not talking specifically about this video. I see it all the time parents walking kids to school who are well able to walk themselves – and then standing at the gates 10 minutes before they come out to walk them home again. We are turning our kids into useless, impotent, terrified drips.
Killi boyo weren’t you the one who had the accident with the sock ? drippy, useless and impotent I’d say
Segregated lanes to schools would allow kids to cycle to school.
But the motor industry and those invested in it don’t want that, so our kids must grow up obese, wheezing and cooking up a nice little cancer or two.
