The scale of injuries to cyclists as a result of bicycles getting stuck in tram tracks on the Luas lines in Dublin is “a significant public health issue”, according to a new medical study.
A review of cyclists attending the emergency department in St James’s Hospital in Dublin over a two-year period found 48 patients had suffered injuries which were sustained when their bicycle wheel got caught in the on-road Luas tracks.
It identified the Luas tracks around College Green as a particular “black spot”, accounting for 46% of all incidents.
