This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Don't forget, we're bringing the #IBikeBop to Dundalk this evening - come and join us if you're in town!

'One of the main arguments against such large rail projects is the cost, which is undoubtedly high. However, as a society, we need to consider the costs of not doing these projects and the benefits that we are missing out on'

We finished off our year of Balance Bike Buddies Courses with a lovely Halloween Party yesterday, we had face painting, balloon modelling, bike decorating, a magic show and our Balance Bike Parade with @ibike.ie Our 3 Learn 2 Cycle Tracks make courses like this possible #ActiveTravel @fingal.ie

🧵Without ‘going out and looking for it’ I was witness to this little lot in a little over 2 hours. Plus 30+ driving while holding a mobile phone. Are we are being failed by @garda.ie, #RSA, judiciary and govt etc? @darraghobrientd.bsky.social Dangerous overtaking into oncoming traffic🧵

Imagine if Ireland could lay rail tracks as quickly as it builds roads.... my article in the @irishtimes.com today www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Rail Sail from Britain to Ireland is back! Happy to announce that Transport for Wales have restored the Rail Sail ticket option from Britain to Ireland! Thanks to all the Rail-Sail-ers who brought this issue to light and raised it with Transport for Wales to get it resolved […]

Prioritising commuter trains to force intercity commuters to take a connection makes no sense. We need more rail options, via investment in track, routes & more capacity. @seontrack.bsky.social m.independent.ie/regionals/wi...

Is it any wonder road safety is poor when 1/2 Dublin Metropolitan Region won’t investigate Traffic Watch reports. @garda.ie at Terenure and Pearse St claim you have an agenda if reporting crime. 🧵 @irishcycle.com @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social @darraghobrientd.bsky.social @righttobikeit.bsky.social

If we were in doubt that there is something wrong with the national medai, is that they are covering FF's meltdown like an extreme weather event. #Housing #Carers #Climate #CostOfLiving

Two out of three candidates for the presidency can’t speak fluent Irish. That matters Only Catherine Connolly is fluent in Irish - yet another reason in a long list of reasons to #votecatherine #connollyforPresident #aras25 www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Chilling. Catherine Connolly's launch is sending shivers down the right spines. Vote for Catherine Connolly, the only candidate who is pro-neutrality, anti-genocide, and pro-workers' rights.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
