I am aware of the hoverboards but they are not the particular vehicles I am talking about. There are three in the Sandyford area that I see on a regular basis. The vehicle I have in mind has what is like the wheel of a wheelbarrow with a platform on either side. The person stands legs astride on this thing. I have no idea how people manage it. The hoverboard is another thing I would have a serious difficulty with. I really want the place to be safe for cyclists. I understand the frustration of cyclists. I live on the side of the Dublin Mountains and we get cyclists every Saturday and Sunday going up to Enniskerry and on to the mountains. The number of people who get on their bicycles is amazing. Sadly, a few are not responsive to Covid-19 rules and regulations. I appreciate the answer from the Road Safety Authority officials and their presence today to listen to what we have to say.
