Suffragist and educator Frances Willard riding her bicycle, Gladys (because it made her glad). “I learned to bicycle when 50... and I think it is one of the best things I ever did. What pleases me is to see other worn-out women take it up, and find a new lease of health and life thereby."

Well this is going ahead. Streetlights to be removed despite huge support for keeping them in the consultation.

With all the recent intense rainfall, many parts of the woods are gloriously full of water. The forests, bogs, + other wild habitats we've removed once retained colossal amounts of water, preventing flooding downstream. Between that and climate breakdown, we're creating a perfect storm for floods.

Declaring my own view here, I'd happily live next to a windmill. I'd live IN A WINDMILL. See also: lighthouse, zoo, train station, other cool places to live.

My painting BICYCLE SHADOW. This is a rare self portrait. I love to bike through all the seasons.

There is no concrete definition of Limerick City Centre (where exactly it ends). A Limerick Chamber report put the population figure at 7,769.

Over half of households in Limerick City Centre have no car. Interesting Socio-Economic report from Limerick City partnership (formerly Paul Partnership). Population of the city centre: 10,002

Great potential for train + bike

Just in

Not pictured: Gleesons Spar par... oh, this parklet is still there. Huh!

Not pictured: Crew parklet, forcing the closure of the microbrewery at the end of the year costing jobs, a community hub for artists, knitters, gaeilgoirs, boardgamers, and knock-on vitality for the Wickham Way and city centre. Well done Kieran Lehane and the Council executive

Good thread #LimerickCity

It's mad to think how short this section is and how much parking will be left after the plan is done. The blue is the stretch where parking will be removed. The yellow is the available on street parking after the works

Island Road is grand and wide (and should have cycle lanes) But this narrow section is tough to navigate. I don't like lines of paint as cycle lanes, but maybe we could have one here, to encourage drivers to leave a gap

Missing link: This section by the Crescent Shopping Centre is very unpleasant. It's only a small gap. The entrance to the shopping centre is way too dangerous and should be closed. There are 3 other entrances available.

The beer boat has been a Utrecht phenomenon for years – and has been electric for quite some time now. The boat delivers directly to the cafés and restaurants along the canals.

What's happened to Crew brewery in Limerick is a disgrace. The local council removing the (albeit temporary) terrace outside the brewery with no consultation and little warning. The brewery said income from the terrace was vital to the business. But the council thought it would be better as parking

Awful news that Crew Brewing is to close at Christmas due to the removal of their parklet. The Council have closed them down. A living wage employer, sound staff, solar panels recently installed. Unbelievable.

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle & go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” -Arthur Conan Doyle

Good event on tomorrow night in the city centre.

With the clocks going back, remember to light up your bike. Lights are a legal requirement during light up hours.

Two new businesses popping up on Thomas Street. Along with Catherine Street it's one of Limerick's most successful areas. We should close off car access from William Street, it's a real negative for this section of the street, and it badly damages the paving.

Pretty worrying to see certain residents of the South Circular Road prioritise parking spaces over pedestrians and cyclist’s safety 🙄

Morning all. The October meeting of Limerick Council's Metropolitan District is at 9:45am. Watching it on the web 🧵, will be adding the usual commentary, feel free to follow along. #CouncilMeetingThread

Turin is a city best experienced on foot—although often, one hardly realises they’re outdoors. Stretching 18 kilometres through the historic centre, its network of covered porticos—elegant arcades lined with shops, cafés, and galleries—creates one of Europe’s most extensive pedestrian environments.🧵

This was a really nice event last night. TUS is getting more accessible by the day with the very quick progress on TUS to City Centre.

Limerick businessman fears for future after parklets removed without warning

I've asked the Council to reinstate these bike stands, hopefully grumpy emails will do the trick. No harm emailing customerservices@limerick and asking for them back. Also, ask them to stop removing parklets around the city, especially the nice ones

In collaboration with Treaty City Brewery, there’ll be a pop-up bar at the Markets Field for tonight's game! 🍺 We’ll be pouring Renegade Lager & Harris Pale Ale – check the images and pick your pint before you arrive 👇 🎟️ - treatyunitedfc.com/tickets/ #WeAreTreaty

Our time with the Dolly cargo bike has come to an end. I want to thank Pat @pfitzp.bsky.social (@limerickecargobike on X) for letting us trial the bike. The end result? We're all in. Moving the kids via cargo bike is a no brainer. 1/3

Yes, but can she do it away to Sligo Rovers on a wet Wednesday night in the middle of a constitutional crisis ? #Aras25

As is, with his continued push to not only lift the Dublin Airport passenger cap but also to significantly increase numbers, Minister O'Brien seems more like a minister for worsening climate change than one responsible for climate action and a sustainable transport system. Brilliant letter below!

📍Barna Woods, Galway. Trees damaged during Storm Éowyn transformed into these beautiful pieces.

The Shannon Fields in the sun. A great link to UL from Westbury and Shannon Banks.

The bike stands on Parnell Street definitely get some usage, but I would like to see a few redistributed around the city. (Zoom in for the 3rd bike in the background)
