I agree with Steve. I find the portion of Antigua Street between Tuam Street and St Asaph Street (going South) always difficult to ride because of the hazardous placement of cones or temporary signs.
Also I am quite pissed at the work being done on the new cinema complex opposite the bus interchange on Colombo Street: they have been using the cycle lane for how long now? 2 years? I think I never got a chance to actually ride on it.

My single biggest gripe would be the placement of road cones during road works – often set up in a way that forces me into the main traffic stream – where I have to decide to either “take the lane” or, sometimes, dodge to the wrong side of the cones. A little more thought is usually all that would be required. My overall impression is that those who place the cones are car centric.
