Video: A seriously intense stand-off between a cyclist and a motorist in Dublin

A charming gentleman

“You give me road rage.”

Anyone who’s cycled around Dublin knows that it can be a scary experience from time to time.

The city has become more and more bike-friendly though, but people still need to play by the rules for everyone to get along OK.

We admit that we can’t see the entirety of what’s going on in this video captured near Christchurch, but it looks like the cyclist is in the wrong here.

Does he think he’s in the wrong? Absolutely not. *Cue intense stand-off*

We’re not qualified lip-readers or anything, but we think he said, “Sorry sir, I feel that I have right of way on this occasion, can you allow me pass please.”
