Irish Association of Emergency Medicine - 'stop regarding road traffic deaths as inevitable tragedies and instead do what is required to make Ireland’s roads safe for all.' It's long past time to take an evidence based approach to road safety. www.independent.ie/irish-news/f...

Another wonderful bike fest coming up in May - save the dates! Clon Bike Fest 13th-16th May, Clonakilty, Co. Cork. The Clon crew are fab. We are so lucky to have them as a local group 🚲

"A bicycle needs no fuel. It requires no oil refinery, no pipeline, no tanker route through a contested strait. A worker who cycles to the office has removed themselves entirely from the chain of geopolitical dependency that currently makes Ireland vulnerable." www-tinyurl.com/1b95e30a

Irish Cycling Campaign is in Brussels attending the joint workshop of the European Cyclists' Federation & the European Cycling Industries. The energy crisis presents further opportunity to move people onto bikes for everyday trips. More people cycling makes for a more resilient transport system.

“Australians are being urged to work from home where possible to ease demand for fuel as the government insists there’s not a crisis — yet.”

First time I’ve seen this detail, a lip where drivers turn into a side road crossing a new cycle lane and raised footpath. Cars slowed right down before turning 👏 Bóthar Stiofáin, galway @irishcycle.com @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social @galwaycycling.bsky.social

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...

If you haven't already please join the @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social and spread the word Now more than ever we need people advocating for safe routes to school, multi-modal transport option and safe and inclusive cycling infrastructure. www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/civicrm/cont...

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

Here’s me bringing my Dublin notions to destroy the rural way of life.

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

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

Huge gratitude to our sisters + brothers in @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social, @ibike.ie, @dublincommuters.bsky.social, @cyclingireland.bsky.social + others for fronting to giving real evidence to Oireachtas Committee this morning! ⭕ 30km/h limits DEFAULT 🦺 RSA not fit fur purpose 🚨 Enforcement FAILING

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

Great way to push people away from cycling. We live in a country where the goverment refuse to lower speed limits to 30km/hour and instead want to dress everyone in hi viz so motorists can drive like they want and the gov can cut funding to cycling infrastructure. Pathetic.

"ETSC regrets that Ireland has stepped back from a clear national default. International experience shows why a default works." A reminder that 85 of our urban areas are clearly defined & default could be implemented immediately in those cities and towns. etsc.eu/irelands-urb...

Leaked internal documents from Germany’s Defense Ministry reveal that Berlin coordinated its testimony with Israel ahead of its April 2024 appearance before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) where Nicaragua accused Germany of complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza through arms exports.

What's going on in Ballinrobe? 👀

Leg it down or pedal it down and throw Catherine a vote...10minutes left!

🇮🇪 Presidential Election Day 1918 was the first time Irish women were permitted to vote, & even then only ~women over 30 who owned property~ Is é do vóta do ghuth 🗳️ #Aras25 #SpeirGorm

Delighted to be able to Vote 1 for Catherine Connolly today. She's a woman of dignity, integrity and warmth. She is the best of us. Bean uasal, iontach agus ionraic. #CatherineforPresident

Ag súil go @catherinegalway.bsky.social a fheiceáil amárach ag an ócáid clainne seo. Looking forward to cycling with Catherine Connolly tomorrow. She's always supported us & the Cycle Bus crew - so delighted to get out to show our support for her tomorrow.

“The energy was absolutely insane!” says Dom Whiting — the DJ on a bike — as he returns to Dublin this Saturday Dom Whiting, who attracts large crowds of people cycling, scooting and more along with him as he DJs on a tricycle, is returning to Dublin this Saturday, September 27th. Whiting said in…

www.catherineconnollyforpresident.ie/connolly-cam... Bígí le Catherine Connolly le haghaidh cruinniú ar líne chun tús a chur le gluaiseacht na ndaoine. Labhróidh Catherine agus cainteoirí eile, agus cuirfear tuilleadh eolais ar fáil ar na bealaí gur féidir leat cuidiú leis an bhfeachtas.

Motherfucking wind farms…

In a meeting today, Sidsel Birk Hjuler pointed out a facet of motonormativity that even I had failed to see: why do we talk about people using people-sized vehicles as MICROmobility? How did people driving around with 4 empty seats get normalized as "mobility"?

@neasa.bsky.social chairperson of @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social said: “Our restructuring represents a fresh chapter in our journey to make cycling accessible and safe for everyone in Ireland.”

Why has this not been done? There is no mention of any accounting for this at all. Are Galway County Council trying to pull a stroke? The public and planners deserve better and more complete information than what has been presented here.

#Galway Ring Road: I’ve now read through the updated Traffic Modelling Report submitted by @GalwayCoCo to ABP. And I’m more convinced than ever that this project cannot be justified in its current form.🧵

We love to see this. Fairplay to #StNicolas'Church in #Galway, promoting active travel amongst their visitors & congregation. Great to see @galwaycitycouncil.bsky.social supporting them.

Jane Humphries, Chief Superintendent of the Garda Roads Policing unit, said SUVs are more dangerous because of “simple physics”. Great to see this messaging from @garda.ie. Why has there been no awareness campaign on SUVs from the #RSA?? @thejournal.ie www.thejournal.ie/suvs-road-sa...

📣Event Alert📣 The High Court is due to rule on the Strand Road Cycle Route case on Friday 11th April. Whatever the result we want to see the route progress without delay. Join us at 6pm on the 11th at Grand Canal Square for a cycle along the route to demand safe cycling infrastructure.
