Ride to work for your minimum wage job on your scooter or eBike? Hey, wear this, wear this, wear this. Disqualified for driving with no licence or insurance on methadone killing a 14 y.o.? Hey, let's get you back behind the wheel asap! Wouldn't want to leave you stuck on a scooter or eBike!

Now we're talking! Hi-vis for everyone!

It feels really good to dunk on those Bitcoin fools. They were so unbearably obnoxious and smug for so long. If you lost your shirt and you weren't a jerk, I'm sorry. But for the rest of ya's:

This was the Tir Conaill Tribune's front page headline when work started on a road being slightly narrowed for 1 km of cycle lane in Letterkenny

We are dealing with a serious incident at the junction of Talbot Street and North Earl Street. We are asking the public to please avoid the area. As ever, we are asking people to avoid sharing images of the scene.

Segregated cycle lane. Even then it doesn't matter if drivers aren't looking. bsky.app/profile/citi...

I was wearing hi vis when a motorist drove into me. Passengers in the car got out to tell me the driver was really upset because she didn't see me. I didn't have much sympathy as I was picking gravel out of my hands. I was visible. She didn't look.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes, everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes. And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade) ... Song: Everybody Hurts Album: Automatic For The People

Fair play to Morgan McSweeney- a blue shirt Corkonian hasn’t been such a threat to the British government since 1920

And there we have it folks, having failed to do anything to halt the injury and death toll on our roads the government now plans to criminalise cycling. This will kill bike share schemes around the country. @bleeperactive.bsky.social www.thejournal.ie/e-bikes-scoo...

Found a couple of old 'cash for cars' adverts when I was outside of my usual route. They got the usual treatment.

Oh well! To host the last game, the Irish gov spent €4.2m on a licence fee to the NFL, and another €5m on infrastructure and “operational costs”. DCC spent €350,000. Imagine if that money was spent on local sporting initiatives? A lot of kids in Dublin City don’t even have a pitch to play on.

All vehicles should have speed governors. This chud shouldn’t have had access to a vehicle capable of such speed. There is no need. His parents failed as well. Boys who have nothing else going for them but “I can drive a car! I can drive a car fast!”

Thank God we're not polarised today folks. I know floods are bad, but polarisation would be very uncomfortable. #spéirgorm

Kinda love the neon halo

The problem is Facebook. Its not the kids that needs a social media ban, its the grandparents.

Everybody knew, nobody said. A week ago last Tuesday. She was just fifteen years. When she reached her full term. She went to a grotto. Just a field, In The Middle of The Island. To deliver herself. Her Baby died, She died It was a sad, slow, stupid death for them both. Nigel Rolfe/Christy Moore

My letter to the editor of the Irish Times (28.01.26) this week calling out Fine Gael hypocrisy over car parking charges

Thank god someone is talking sense and hasn't drunk the tech billionaires koolaid

Two years of pavement parking ban in Edinburgh and the sky has not fallen. Drivers have changed their behaviour. This makes a big difference to parents with biggies and people who use wheelchairs. Would be great to see this in Dublin. @dccbeta.bsky.social @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

All aboard the Springfield monorail

excellent punchline at the end of the government's list of who's going where on Paddy's Day this year. Niall Collins, Minister of State at the Department of Justice with Special Reponsibility for International Law, is going to... ...Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates!

We fixed your headline for you RTE The driver killed the woman with his vehicle… please speak to your editors www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

Some more water from a walk around Belarmine / Aikens village in Stepaside. #stormchandra #Ireland

Lambs Cross on EnnisKerry road, south Dublin / Sandyford - #stormchandra #Ireland

Flooding today was a little deeper then I judged, feet got a little wet today 😂 I've reached the limit of how deep the bike can handle. Still fun though!

But people on bikes should dress up like Christmas trees or Mardi Gras dancers apparantly.

Is this a first? Pencil bollards to alert drivers of children from school across the road installed outside Terenure Garda Station, became drive have no fear of enforcement, even here! @dublincommuters.bsky.social @carolynmoore-ie.bsky.social @nollieb.bsky.social @irishcycle.com @dublininquirer.com

Ireland will shortly also announce compulsory stab vests to counteract the danger from knife crime..

In these trying times, please think of the truly persecuted—Bay Area hippie boomers who, after decades of seeing their 401ks and property values sky rocket—now must search for a parking spot. 🎵 How many roads must a man drive down, before he can find where to park? 🎵

Ireland's dangerous roads: When cars come first, everyone loses. High volumes, high speeds and lack of progress in safe road design cost lives. Other countries fixed this by prioritising safety. jrnl.ie/6933338

“Every time I have come close to death under some driver’s wheels and had a conversation about it – the driver says they “didn’t see me”. I was there when you did not see me because you did not look.” - Sarah Moss #spéirghim #cycling

Had a pretty convincing scam call from a lady pretending to be from my mobile operator. Said there was a Jan promotion of 20% off — did I want in? And if so, I’d get a six digit code texted to me. Which immediately came (from my real operator’s SMS)… (—> cont’d)

Checkmate, drivers

Overtakes me, then five seconds later, pulls into to the left in front of me, having completely forgotten that I exist as another human on their planet. #lefthook

It's been a while since the spray cans came out.

Letter from Dr John Legge responding to the recent discourse on proposals to mandate high-visibility clothing for vulnerable road users.

“The notion that ever more garish clothing will compensate for distracted driving is a convenient fiction. No amount of fluorescent fabric can counteract the motorist scrolling on their phone or the driver travelling too fast.” Sophie McDermott #cycling #driving #danger #roadsafety
