A 63-year-old cyclist has donated €5 to the anti Strand Rd cycle route campaign just to get access to the message section so he could give the fundraisers a piece of his mind.
Some residents' groups in Sandymount, south Dublin, and surrounding areas are opposed to the two-way segregated cycle route due to open on Strand Rd from March 1st.
They have taken to GoFundMe looking to raise a war chest for legal fees so they can explore their legal and planning options in objecting to the coastal cycle route's six-month trial period.
The campaign has almost reached its target of €20,000 and
now a Dublin-based cyclist has donated €5 just to access the messages section
of the online fundraising campaign. Only those who donate can leave messages.

“I donated €5 because as a 63-year-old who is looking
forward to having a segregated cycle lane on Sandymount Road and being able to
cycle safely into Dublin, I wanted to tell you all how I find your campaign and
everything it stands for so reprehensible and so selfish,” the cyclist writes in
his message on the fundraiser’s comments section.
