Leitrim Cycling Festival is back from the 8-10 May. Always a brilliant weekend with an action packed itinerary again this year. It's a fab festival for families too. Bígí ann! More info & booking @ leitrimcyclingfestival.com

An unsurprising outcome for any of us who regularly move around on two wheels, but a worthwhile experiment. With petrol and diesel increasing in price every day, it's a good time to try out your local bike share scheme, or dust off that bike gathering cobwebs in the shed! www.rte.ie/news/2026/03...

A reminder to members that our spring Gathering is on the 28th March in Galway. Registration is essentially as spaces are limited. Details in the link. Looking forward to seeing you there! www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/irish-cyclin...

Build it and they will come and they'll want more. Safe, segregated cycling and pedestrian infrastructure improves safety and experience for all road users. 87% also said they wanted enforcement on illegal footpath parking: something that endangers pedestrians, removes accessibility & sightlines.

Footpath parking is illegal and it's a blight on our towns. It reduces accessibility, visibility, and causes a serious hazard on our roads. This video shows why it is so important that we respect the footpaths and highlights the need for more robust enforcement by local councils and the Gardaí.

Ok. You're right. But why stop at cyclists? Let's make pedestrians wear high-vis and helmets too! It's safer right? Actually, let's make absolutely everyone wear high-vis and helmets at all times everywhere (except people in cars obviously!) so people driving cars feel better

I spoke about the Government’s ridiculous proposal to criminalise cyclists who don’t wear helmets 🪖 The fact they even proposed this betrays their complete lack of understanding of what makes our roads unsafe for cyclists & pedestrians 🚗🚙 @labour.ie @dublincycling.bsky.social

Thanks!

Scramblers already illegal on public roads, Department confirms after misleading media coverage irishcycle.com/2026/02/03/s...

Many rail users in the south-east travel to and from train stations using both bike share schemes & their own bikes. Government should be encouraging people to travel using public transport and active travel as opposed to discouraging them doing so with unscientific, knee-jerk legislation.

Today we wrote to Minister O'Brien outlining our opposition to the mandatory helmet and hi-vis proposals. We'd encourage our members to email their local TDs to outline their views. @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social have outlined the research below: www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/why-mandator...

Why Mandatory Helmet and Hi-Vis Laws are not the Answer to Road Danger Issues www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/why-mandator...

@irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social is there anything in the pipeline if mandatory high viz & helmets gets flung into the current mix? irishcycle.com/2026/02/04/a...

The Irish Cycling Campaign will be appearing before the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport today. The focus today is on Road Safety. We look forward to discussing the importance of a public health-led, safe systems approach to road danger reduction. #VisionZero #Love30

This is incredibly disappointing and will surely threaten the success of the Bolt e-bike and e-scooter scheme in #Wexford. This will only serve to discourage people from cycling. Car brain government = car brain policies without any basis in research or evidence.

There can be some gatekeeping in the cycling community so just remember that when it comes to biking there are only two rules: Wear what you want. Ride what you want and don't let anyone tell you differently @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

We often hear comments of the Newtown Rd not being heavily used by bicycle riders.. 🤔Imagine if the council created a road that began and finished at either side of a field, how many drivers would use it? 🤔 Once it is added to & joined up, then we’ll see.. (Image via AI)

www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm... Worked with a team in Finland re active travel, they genuinely could not fathom why people objected to cycle lanes here. "But you are making their lives better?" Ah no, you see, we hate cyclists.

Cycling without a helmet and high-vis clothing may be made criminal offences in Ireland -- Law areound cyclists being reviewed with e-scooter proposals for helmets and high-vis. Seán Canney, the Minister of State for road safety, is considering making it illegal to cycle without a helmet and…

Sitting in the pub/café in the train station in Chester on the Welsh-English border and they have free bike locks for your bike while you eat/wait/travel. A great idea to encourage multi-modal travel. Something for our friends in @seontrack.bsky.social might be interested in too! #bike #train

Updated with additional signatories @antaisce.bsky.social and @wexbug.bsky.social

We echo this sentiment. The RSA badly needs reform. Not only are lives being lost but people are also suffering from life changing injuries at unacceptably high rates due to the lack of action on road safety. We also call on @darraghobrientd.bsky.social to enact the promised reform.

Shameless Garda PR blitz links road deaths to visibility issues in cases where there is no link Comment & Analysis: Sadly, I have to start this article by saying, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this article says 'don't be visible'. Lights are a legal requirement, and it'd be a good start…

A fantastic report from Limerick with an unequivocal conclusion: the majority of Limerick’s protected cycle lane schemes “maintained or enhanced” access for emergency vehicles. Will our planners listen though? That is the question.

This is a bizarre contribution to this article. Social media commentary does not consensus make. We are reiterating our call to open this to public consultation.

'The real scandal here is not “bike shed groundhog day.” It’s the groundhog day of car dependency, subsidised at vast public expense, locking us into congestion, pollution, poor health and missed climate targets.' Great piece from @ciarancannon.bsky.social www.thejournal.ie/readme/bike-...

Delighted to see this new bike rack at Johnstown Castle 😊

Love 30, @dublincommuters.bsky.social, ourselves & other road safety campaigners are calling on the Minister Darragh O’Brien to issue a commencement order without delay for the default urban speed limit of 30km/h as defined in the Road Traffic Act 2024. www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/call-for-com...

"Cycling alone isn’t going to remedy Ireland’s shocking happiness and mental and physical health scores, but the Dutch are getting plenty right, it seems." www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

Clear reasoning as to why we need a national evidence based approach to delivering default 30kph limits in built-up areas. Delegating this to local govt will mean delays & inconsistencies & lead more pointless deaths & serious injuries. @love30love.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Fair?

We are delighted to support #Love30 who are calling on the Oireachtas and every Local Authority to make 30 km/h the default speed limit in built-up areas, but particularly in town centres, residential estates, and in the vicinity of schools and places of public assembly. www.love30.ie/about-us
