...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...
Witnesses and a media report confirm that the bicycle was crushed by a recycling truck.
The junction forms one of the main cycle routes between the core city centre and Stoneybatter and Grangegorman, but is known as a dangerous spot by local cyclists. The main traffic flow on the one-way North King Street turns left onto Queen Street, while the main cycling flow goes right onto George’s Lane.
...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
Any word on how the guy is getting on??
