Joe provides this hilarious example of the city of Dublin’s implementation of cycling lanes. That doesn’t seem very safe at all, does it?
The other thing that I found weird about Dublin’s bike lanes were their length. Some would run for, literally, a block, and then disappear, only to reappear for another block a couple of kilometers down the road.
Joe deserves extra credit for his willingness to put his life at risk on Dublin’s narrow, busy streets. A few months ago he lost a battle with a car.

Actually Darren that was a pedestrian. Jay walkers are actually more dangerous than cars in the city centre. It still hurt, a lot!
If you really want a terrifying experience, I highly recommend cycling to work in Kuala Lumpur. A bike lane would be a dream come true, even one a block long with a pole in the middle.
