Anna, Kieran and family recently trialed both our Dolly & Longtail ecargo bikes. They found them so beneficial for school runs that they are going getting there own one. Trialing ecargo bike allows families to see if/which type suits. [email protected] for queries.

Our @psimonk.bsky.social got rather excited about news London now seeing average 1.5 million journeys cycled daily this morning: bsky.app/profile/lond.... Now here's his slightly calmer & more detailed analysis: lcc.org.uk/news/1-5-mil... covering funding case, outer v inner London & a lot more.

Ecargobikes are a great way to move around the city 4 shopping, leisure, work or schooldrops. Our campaign has 2 types of ecargo bikes available for families/individuals to trial out. Contact [email protected] for queries #limerick #ecargobike

Ronan recently trailed the use of one of our ecargo bikes and then went on to get his own one the result, magical memories like below on the school run. #ecargobikes #betterbyecargobike trial queries at [email protected]

When asked how people like to travel, workshop participants cut car use by half: from 37% to 19% while bus use tripled. A great insight from the recent co-creation workshop on how conversations can shape smarter, greener mobility 🇮🇪 @cyclingincork.bsky.social @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social

London-based study finds "most near misses happen on roads without cycling infrastructure - junctions are particularly hazardous" This is why our activists tirelessly call for safe cycle infra in every London borough 👇 road.cc/content/news...

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

“The transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietly—& quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency “coronapistes” or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent bike network spanning hundreds of kilometres.”

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

The 27 year old woman who was killed in Cork yesterday was cycling on a 50kph street in an urban area. The default 30kph limit promised by the govt may not have saved her life but it will save lives in the future. We can't allow them to renege on that promise. www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

If you're an IDF soldier who has murdered Palestinian children you're allowed to enter Canada on vacation. If you're a musician who opposes genocide you're banned

It’s not just about what you remove (cars, noise, dirty air). It’s about what you add (people walking, a lot of bike parking, trees, outdoor dining, and room for kids to play safely). Amsterdam: 1986 and today. Streets for people. HT @hackneycyclist.bsky.social for the before-and-after

What a brilliant and inspiring story. This is why we advocate for #CyclingForAll Beir bua Conor🚲 @news.rte.ie www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

"At the end of the day, the number of roads that will get special speed limits will be much reduced on what was intended by the legislation" @love30love.bsky.social Why is the govt abandoning Vision Zero recommendations to reduce road deaths & serious injuries? www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

The Department of Transport is failing to implement the legislation that was passed only last year to introduce a default 30km/h speed limit. Their excuse, that it is hard to define an urban road, is laughable. RTE news : Call for 30km/h speed limit in urban areas www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

When Zelenskyy was a television actor in Ukrainian sitcoms, did he ever dream he'd have a starring role in Godfather IV?

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

We have almost no cycle lanes in the city centre, which is where almost every bike station is.

Today in unsurprising but important news: Building bike lanes increases bikeshare usage doi.org/10.1016/j.jt...

“A new study of early separated lane projects in the U.S. across six cities finds a rise of ridership between 21% and 171% after the lanes were installed.” The pretty strong and convincing case for protected bike-lane networks in cities. In @fastcompany.com

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford bike-lanes in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.’” — @mortenkabell.bsky.social

This is brilliant!! 😂✊🏼

Food for thought.

In Leuven for a few days and saw this..

Great piece. Agencies and individuals in positions of influence continue to prioritize drivers' feelings and perceptions of convenience over actions that will actually improve road safety.

After an election of missed opportunity and the news that charities can no longer feed people on Dublin's streets, I wrote about #GE24, soup, Kneecap and how we must bring together a divided republic if we are to have any chance of a united Ireland. ourmaninstockholm.substack.com/p/to-unite-i...

Crossings are a health hazard for people at this stage... There isn't a week goes by when I'm crossing with bike that a car hasn't near ploughed into me

Been absolute carnage on the roads, and it breaks my heart. Something has gone terribly and uniquely wrong for road safety in Ireland.

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. E-bikes support fewer car trips. V/@lloydalter.bsky.social

At least 2,700 cyclists had to be admitted to hospital from emergency departments or attend for medical treatment after an accident over a two-year period

Winter doesn’t have to be a barrier to biking if your city invests in a network of protected, connected and cleared bikeways. 🚲 ❄️

Road violence in Ireland is a problem so bad that it should be treated as a public health issue. "More than 2,700 cyclists treated in hospital after road incidents over two year period" www.thejournal.ie/more-than-27... #RoadViolence #RoadSafety #Cycling #SpéirGorm

Why do the Dutch use red asphalt for all of their cycle lanes, streets, and intersections? “A result of using the materials around them, a desire for a cohesive road network in an attractive urban environment, and most importantly a willingness to invest in safety.” dutchcycling.nl/knowledge/cy...

🚲 Covering 100km a shift & attending 16,000 emergency calls a year, the London Ambulance Service’s Cycle Response Unit are a vital part of the emergency services, especially during the holidays. 🗣️ We caught up with two of their number to find out what makes them tick: lcc.org.uk/news/las-cyc...

“A Christmas miracle”: Limerick Mayor says closing bus lane for motorists to use it cannot be justified “at this time” Limerick's directly elected Mayor, John Moran, has said that, given the feedback received and policies in place, he "cannot justify the pilot requested" to close the bus lane on…
