If our story about 2,600 cyclists being brought to court between 2003 and 2011 was not enough, below is visual proof that cyclists do get stop by the gardai and on-the-spot fines due by the end of the year will make it easier…

...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...
...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.
Not sure what this picture proves. I see two cyclist talking to two Gardai. It can be about anything, really.
It proves that cyclists do and can get stopped by the gardai. Amazingly some people — including the odd cyclists — that we’re in contact on twitter and boards.ie etc are in denial about this…
I do not see this in this picture.. And I know Gardai stop cyclists as I have been stopped myself. It was for letting some kind of VIPs get out of a hotel, but I was stopped. Do you not see the question mark at the end of the sentence? This picture just shows two cyclist talking to two Gardai. Suggesting anything more is conjecture.
