This could be the most Irish cycle lane in existence

Whoever marked out this lane on Griffith Avenue in Dublin has a great regard for public litter bins.

THE LEAST THAT Dublin cyclists should be able to expect is a consistent white line on their cycle lanes, you would think.

But no. Spotted by Steve Conlon on Griffith Avenue on Thursday morning was this curious sight:

Yes. The new fangled curved cycle lane – coming to a road near you.

This artistic interpretation of the bike lane puts heavy importance on the city’s bins – which is all well and good until you see how slim that path is on the left.

The cycling public give it two thumbs down

@stevenconlon got to be one of the crappest cycle lane efforts I've seen.

It’s hard to disagree.
