A famine graveyard & twisty road just outside #Drumshanbo in Co #Leitrim. It’s on the Kingfisher cycling route which I did as part of a cycle camping tour from Dublin via the canals to the Shannon. This section of the route follows the Iron mountains east of Lough Allen

Cycling #eurovelo 1 #Kenmare to #Waterville by eBike - it takes the inland route that’s off the Ring of Kerry but includes three spectacular passes on very quiet roads - so quiet there are no shops or pubs directly on the route youtu.be/FsKhT8IWhAQ

It's so _unfortunate_ when short-term cost savings (fire your IT staff and outsource to Tata) become long-term costs (oops, you've been out of business for a month due to inept infosec) www.bbc.com/news/article...

IMPORTANT STUDY: “On average, the implementation of 30 km/h speed limits in European cities demonstrated a 23%, 37% & 38% reduction in road crashes, fatalities & injuries respectively. Lower speed limits also yielded environmental benefits.” www.nrso.ntua.gr/review-of-ci...

Impressive Farage is hitting this threshold before even winning power.

I'm a bit of a connoisseur of Western Special Forces operations and one common thread running through their adventures is that these highly trained "Operators" usually end up torturing and killing farmers, labourers and/or passers by as part of the job.

Big turnout for trans & intersex pride in #Dublin today - this is as the march was forming up so there is the same number again still in the city hall square to the left.

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

Hearing this morning of the assassination of two Israeli embassy staff reminded me that the Nazi excuse for Kristallnacht was a similar assassination of a German embassy staffer in Paris by the then 17 year old Herschel Grynszpan en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hersche...

Any media outlet that posted the news of two young boys who drowned in Donegal - who happened to be seeking asylum with their families - on the most toxic platform in the world without closing comments, should be ashamed of itself. Makes you physically ill to look at some of the comments.

Great video on the new Dublin Port Greenway as it highlights the impact it will have on cycling tourists arriving to Ireland, and how they will be able to continue on their journey to the Eurovelo 2 Route / Royal Canal Greenway, and on to further connections across the country.

This is a 12km loop cycle with all but 600m on local roads in #Connemara about 4km from #Clifden where you could rent bikes - the YouTube of the route ends with the route from Clifden. Or park at the Marconi loop walk #cycleConnemara #connemaratourism #ebikeadventures youtu.be/XYVdMUP3K0w

Only about 3 or 4 years ago, a deathly silent sitka plantation was clear felled here. Now it's thick with wild native trees, NONE of which was planted. It's already heaving with insects + birds, and will keep getting better if left alone. THIS is how we should be bringing our forests back. 🌍

Continuing my cycling trip around #Connemara, this is the ‘road’ that runs above #Roundstone on the side of Errisbeg A lot of the Atlantic coast is fantastic for cycling guides to several possible routes (and will be adding todays) at Connemara cycles www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Pretty amazing seeing that someone I actually knew personally and campaigned with in the 00's has an archive and it's in a library. Alan was truly brilliant to campaign along side - I learned a lot from him.

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

I visited Paris in November in part to see the transformation to a more people friendly city that was already underway - now to be greatly extended as much more street are pedestrianised. It’s was a pleasure to cycle central Paris www.reuters.com/world/europe...
