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.

Sean Canney: Minister of State for U-turns on road safety? irishcycle.com/2025/12/17/s...

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.

Some facts on greenway are needed Comment & Analysis: The Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport, this morning, is discussing greenways (watch it live here), and a group called the "National Greenway Action Association" will be presenting their case against the use of Compulsory Purchase Orders…

Some potential solutions for John Street - School Street in #Wexford Town... and why not allow for contra flow cycling from the Arts Centre through the Bull Ring @wexbug.bsky.social

When you see Dutch cycling, it’s amazing. Trying to weaponise it against cycle paths in Ireland does not fit the facts and is just kind of silly Comment & Analysis: When discussing the promotion of cycling, the Netherlands is often mentioned for obvious reasons, given that it is decades ahead of…

'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

WexBUG were happy to participate in the rally for safer roads this morning. The Love 30 Campaign advocates for a standard urban speed limit of 30kph. Research shows that this will reduce road deaths and injuries. Time for the promises of action on road safety to be prioritised. #Love30

Are you a little curious about Bolt bikes & scooters? Wexford County Council are hosting a demo at County Hall this Wednesday 1st Oct between 1-2pm. take one for a quick spin. It’s easier (and more fun) than you might think! All are welcome.

Dear Wexford CoCo, If School St 💜💛 was in Stockholm, this is what it would look like. You see - each time you create a one way street, because 2 way for cars isn’t feasible, you cut off vital cycling routes Contra-flow for cycling is a solution applied right across Europe! Let’s do better Wexford 🙏

Ireland needs 30km/hr default urban speed limits, not mealy mouthed politicians 👇 ‘After converting over 90% of its 30mph roads to 20mph, Wales saw 25% fewer people being killed or injured..’ ‘Welsh drivers are paying on average £45 less than they would have been without the change in speed limits’

Nothing demonstrates the importance of safe, segregated infrastructure than experiencing what it's like to cycle/scoot yourself. Great to see this change of heart from Cllr Walsh.

Great to see Cllr Walsh getting a fresh perspective on the experience of those choosing to cycle and scoot. “I now have a better understanding of what cyclists and scooter users are dealing with […] & it made me realise just how important the Council’s Active Travel plans really are.”

This morning we hosted an experiential cycle with some of our local County Councillors and members of the Active Travel Team. We focused on safety, the importance of segregation, and future plans for the Active Travel Scheme. We’re grateful to Cllrs Kelly, Laffan, and Walsh for their engagement.

If every single bicycle in the world disappeared cars would be just as slow as they are today. If every single car in the world disappeared bikes would be multiple magnitudes faster than they are today. A 40 minute urban bike ride would go down to 20 minutes.

The government is: ❌ Failing to provide good quality active transport infrastructure ❌ Failing to introduce a 30 km/h default urban speed limit ❌ Failing to protect people Make no mistake, the rise in people being killed is not an accident — it’s the result of political choices.

Thanks for the extra support since yesterday -- both existing subscribers increasing their support and new subscribers really makes a difference.

The Irish Times criticised for “stoking hostility between road users” as people cycling killed in crashes reaches near-decade high The Irish Times has been criticised for publishing a letter which jokingly refers to an anti-cycling trope just as three people cycling lost their lives on Irish roads…

“How’s IrishCycle.com going?” Honest answer: It needs to be better sooner rather than later -- IrishCycle.com was funded by as low as 0.05% of total readers last year. -- The open-access, reader-funded model only needs a low percentage of readers.-- But your help is needed to make it slightly…

Sweden 🇸🇪 A one way street for cars but 2 way for bicycles. Very common all over Europe - but 0️⃣ in Wexford despite @wexbug.bsky.social multitude of submissions. WHY?

Attitudes towards 30km/h limit from Facebook experts is why we need enforced lower speed limits -- It's simple: Stop speeding and you'll keep your money. Comment & Analysis: There were nearly 160 people killed on Irish roads and many more severely injured in the last decade. If we had to apply…

U-turn on default 30km/h speed limit in urban areas means limits can only be lowered by a “slow and complicated review” This can only be seen as a cowardly backward step for road safety, particularly for vulnerable road users. irishcycle.com/2025/09/02/u...

Bolt figures for the e-bike/-scooter scheme in #Wexford for the Fleadh, illustrates high demand across the 8 days. Headline figures: - 4,297 individual trips - 9,307km were travelled by 1,597 unique users. - 503 new users - No reported accidents Imagine all of these were car journeys?

Local #wexford man believed to be in his 50s and was cycling at the time, was crossing the New Ross Roundabout at the Newtown Park Hotel when he was reportedly struck from behind by an elderly man driving a car. www.independent.ie/regionals/we...

School St. #Wexford is now a one way street. In doing so, Wexford town became that little less cycle friendly, mandating a more circuitous route for people on bikes. WexBUG made a submission to allow bicycle contraflow here but unfortunately @wexfordcoco didn’t run with it. If it was France..👇

Superb branding and messaging from #Wexford #Fleadh 👏

Cllr Staples is right - there’s more and more traffic.. 💯 🚘 🚙 Give commuters other options! How about putting in cycle tracks, connecting #Castlebridge to #Wexford 🤔 Add a cantilever (as per @wexfordcoco design for proposed Rosslare Greenway) to Wexford Bridge 💥
