Cyclists complain about wheel-grabbing Luas tracks, rough road surfaces, daydreaming pedestrians, careless drivers, car-friendly media and unhelpful gardaí.

Pedestrians and drivers complain about cyclists: especially the red-light breakers, the pedestrian-crossing blankers and the pavement dashers.

Is the problem just bad behaviour by individual road users? Is poor urban design pitting people against each other in a fight for scarce street space? And what can be done to bring peace and safety to our streets?

On the evening of Wednesday, 21 March, from 6:30pm to about 8:30pm, Dublin Inquirer and [Banter](http://thisisbanter.com/?ref=dublininquirer.com) will present a panel discussion of these issues.

Moderated by Banter’s Jim Carroll, the panel will include:

––Claudine Chen, cycling advocate and a member of the Dublin Cycling Campaign

––Jason Taylor, principal author of the *Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets*, the government handbook on how to encourage sustainable travel in urban areas.

––Jim Waldron, of the National Private Hire & Taxi Association
