Like I was still on time for my destination.
It was two, you know, 30 seconds delay.
That's all okay.
But I think what we need to remember is that hierarchy of risks.
So cyclists are vulnerable, but our pedestrians are even more vulnerable.
So we as cyclists need to respect those people, pedestrians, particularly elderly people pushing buggies, all of that kind of thing.
We need to be aware of everybody else around us, but also looking at that hierarchy again,
people in cars, trucks, buses, everything else, need to be very mindful of cyclists, giving us enough space when they pass and allowing us that space to pull in our traffic lights and not going too far up to the crossing line.
I know, I'd be pushing that one.
Yeah, that's one way of looking at the data.
But the other thing that we saw, Cycling Ireland had a survey recently that a large percentage of their members had closed passes.
So it might seem like there was no other vehicle involved, but if somebody passes really close by to you and you have a wobble and you fall out, break your wrist...
Correct.
Correct.
And that's where we need to think about where is our enforcement priority?
We have rules already.
Let's enforce the ones we have and focus, as I said, on where we're going to minimize the risks.
Correct.
They're my bicycle shaped objects.
