Galway ring road planning inspector’s report has little grasp on reality irishcycle.com/2026/04/09/g...

Yup. The numbers tell a sad tale. In 5 years almost 65,000 pedestrians killed or injured by car drivers compared to 2,000 by ppl cycling. It's scandalous really that it's so accepted.

Commuters won't consider using a bike for transport if it isn't safe. Build protected bike infrastructure, slow drivers down, remove street parking; make it safe and bike commuters will appear. Paris is an example to the world how political will has achieved a modal shift. #EndCarDependency

Do you own/run a café or a bike shop? Did you know that 1000s of people rely on the Open Street Map to find facilities like yours? If YOUR shop isn't on www.openstreetmap.org then I GUARANTEE you're losing out on potential customers! Go add your business now! And please repost this?

Some very creative accounting was used to deem the Galway ring road compliant with Ireland's climate plans, writes architect and transport planner Ciarán Ferrie. jrnl.ie/7009217t

“it’s like saying a healthy diet plus smoking is better than doing nothing – and then claiming smoking is good for your health.”

Would Ministers work on policy proposals overnight for climate protesters? Far more important than this oil costs stuff in the medium term but no, no they would not get off their ass for climate.

Seven years today since @hammersmithbridge.bsky.social closed to motor traffic. Many happy returns to all who celebrate

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

@dubcitycouncil.bsky.social engineers need some of these not the ones they keep making up @pidgeondublin.bsky.social @feljin.ie @janetphorner.bsky.social

Updated Suir Road / Davitt Road junction design creates more issues than it solves "Dublin City Council has a dual issue with its active travel network — it is frustratingly slow at delivering a network for cycling, and, even with that slowness, many of its routes irishcycle.com/2026/04/04/u...

“Parking spots have been turned into green spaces and terraces for cafes and bars. Fewer parents have to fear their child being run over when they walk to school.” More of this, please.

Shame he had his thumb over half the lens. Could have been a great picture

Consider the infrastructure v enforcement debate settled. Car culture is a problem of public space. There is no policing your way to results as impressive as this.

If you're concerned about Bluesky being better, then I'd encourage you to Repost things you like and want others to see. Hitting Like doesn't do much here. Low effort PSA.

Yet the impacts of roads are never fully repaid nor are they questioned with this type of scrutiny. The type of tourists visiting to use the greenway have to stop & spend money locally as they can only cycle so far. Motorists don't. www.rte.ie/news/munster...

Be good to get @irishcycle.com critique of the updated designs for Davitt Rd x Suir Rd x Dolphin Rd junction Still seems compromise and exception reign despite a few concessions I loved one of the responses was that drivers won’t mount kerbs to park illegally!! www.dublincity.ie/sites/defaul...

The Gardai are institutionally biased.

...but a guard who hits a traffic cone while chasing someone loses his licence for 2 years!

Why do these terrible impacts keep happening? • We don’t mandate direct-vision cabs for access to congested areas • our junctions are lethal for bike users • Gardai are not effective enforcers of the Dublin City HGV permit system (5+-axles) • CPC certification is useless.

At least two pedestrians knocked down in Cork today by motorists & a person on a bike killed by a motorist in Dublin. Yet the spinmasters in media keep spinning that bicycles & ebikes are the problem. 3 months into 2026 & already 41 people dead on the roads.

@dubcitycouncil.bsky.social engineers need to reflect on this One of the latest schemes to consult on is the Conyngham/Chapelizod Rd corridor - it’s the definition of exceptions. Not once is the dual direction track Cycle Design Manual compliant. Junctions are car centric… @irishcycle.com

When Dutch engineers design a new road junction, cycling isn’t squeezed in at the edges - it’s built in from the start. That’s what it looks like when cycling is treated as real transport. 📍 Naaldwijk, Netherlands

@garda.ie and emergency services were called to the scene of a collision involving a truck DRIVER and a cyclist on the junction of Middle Abbey Street and O'Connell Street shortly before 1pm, and the cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later

A council spokesperson said: “We now accept that we don’t know better than the Dutch at how to design cycle routes. We will now look to follow best international practices with some rather than using convoluted junction design, which poorly serves all road users.”

Nice loop of the city this evening

Road Safety Authority in Ireland need to do adverts like this including other motorists, cyclists and pedestrians Show people on our roads are human beings and not just objects to get out of other motorists way. The news media has spent far too long dehumanising people.

Stand at any junction and you will see drivers on phones, and drivers breaking red lights. Our road traffic fatalities tell you the results.

Use a gun to shoot someone & you'll never be allowed to own a gun again (& go to jail) Use a knife to stab someone & you'll end up in jail for >2yrs (already not allowed to carry a knife so no extra effect there). Use a car to attack someone & sure, well, it could happen to anyone.

Used it 3 times a week on my commute, the gates on this stretch of the canal are ridiculous. And the narrowings aren't much better. They should be removed.

A local resident has kindly removed the screws from the cycle lane on Old Cabra Road 🙏 The 35 minute response time from Dublin City Council was impressive but the early worm gets the screw! 😂

9/x: Moronic decades long failures in transport policies have led us to the current situation where essential upgrades to public utilities is met with moaning &complaining instead of people being thankful that such works happen. Having clean water come out of Ur taps is something to be V happy about

This is a stat from 2023 - I genuinely wonder, is it still true? I would guess that it is but wondering about the latest figures @colinmckerracher.bsky.social @akshatrathi.bsky.social theconversation.com/the-worlds-2...

Nothing but respect for politicians who really care about the area they represent *and try to resource their constituents with skills in how to inform decisions made about the place they call home*

Surely feline fine 🤔
