Suffragettes liked their bicycles, which were sometimes used for a deft bit of corking.

In the context shown, what do you think the yellow warning marking means?

In Goes they have these signs on entrances to the historic city centre showing what vehicles can enter. At the moment it's bikes only, with motor vehicles and mopeds prohibited

It's literally and figuratively a breath of fresh air to be in urban spaces designed for people and without cars.

In a debate dominated by speculation, Bologna has provided something more powerful: evidence. As cities search for ways to create safer, healthier, more liveable streets, this lesson is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: sometimes the fastest route to a better city starts with slowing down.🔚

One of the most significant outcomes has been a measurable change in travel behaviour. The number of bicycle trips increased by 10% during the first year, while bike-sharing use surged by 69%. Car-sharing trips increased by 44%, and urban journeys on Bologna’s metropolitan rail network rose by 31%.

Well now, Minister Canney and the Road Safety Authority could take note here. Write to them, or let them know if they are in your orbit. #VisionZero

When the cycle lanes take up most of the roadway

Targeting cyclists for what is mainly an illegal moped problem on Capel St isn’t helpful for pedestrians -- The previous "be sound" campaign is better messaging; it's perfect for shared streets. -- Dublin City Council making up well-meaning but impractical "rules" that don't exist creates…

- "Small design details can have a significant impact on everyday use. Scully found her bike very heavy, almost impossible to manoeuvre up the steps into her back garden and it had no basket, which turned out to matter more than it sounds." This (and the whole article 👇) rings so authentic.

Four people. One week. One challenge. Barbara Scully, Mark Noble, Nicole Drought and Emer Currie swapped their cars for e-bikes to see if everyday journeys could be done differently. The results? 👇 @independent.ie www.independent.ie/irish-news/t...

Am in Copenhagen looking at their outstanding cycle infrastructure - developed over 50+ years through cross-party political ambition and long term funding. Probably the best bike lanes in the world!

Thirty seconds on one of BCP Council's finest cycle paths 😊

Yet another example of why bike advocacy is hard (see also environmentalism, feminism, social justice especially disabled people's mobility ...) Build bike lane so kids can safely get about ✅ -> takes space from drivers, need good public transport first 🤷 -> economics/politics debates 😭 -> inertia❌

This is, for anyone that doesn't know, the result of the govt selling the rights for private operators to run routes that were already being run by CIE. Now bus Éireann get left with the unprofitable routes as it is no longer profitable to run the popular routes.

Slow is Best Down the West 🚗🚦🙏 Munster Avenue and Fr Griffin place are lived-in neighbourhoods, not shortcuts. With increased concerns of speeding in the area, we're reminding motorists that this is a neighbourhood where people live, children walk to school and play.

Few people will live within walking distance of train stations/stops. Parallel Greenways should be a fundamental part of the design in order to increase the effective radius of the infrastructure. (Could double up as useful service routes)

Greenway should be built alongside planned Navan railway, says campaigners Including a greenway alongside the planned extension of Dart to Navan would provide for urban and rural transport needs -- including linking people to their nearest station without needing to drive, especially where there…

Anyone in Dublin (or surroundings) looking to purchase a 2018 model electric Bullitt? I bought it new as a back-up for when my other Bullitt is being repaired/serviced. Unfortunately I no longer have space for two Bullitts.

“Amsterdam is set to ban climate-damaging advertising [fossil fuel & meat adverts] in public spaces, following a trend spreading across Dutch cities. France has also enacted legislation outlawing adverts from non-renewable energy companies, & one Italian city has plans to do the same.” #UrbanTruth

Speeding through neighborhoods might save you 5 minutes but cost someone a lifetime.

Hoooray! Summer has arrived in Cork! 😏

Speed is ALWAYS a factor in road safety. That's why Utrecht cuts speed limits on nearly 300 streets without a separate bike path to 30 km/h. At this speed, road crashes happen less often because drivers have more time to react and consequences are less severe.

A key ingredient is "low-traffic conditions". Since motor traffic is like a gas and expands to fill all available space, the provision of a ring road alone will not magically create these conditions. Hence scepticism amongst informed observers about Galway Ring Road merits. #BackToTheDrawingBoard

“The most effective approach is to build a network and to build it as quickly as possible. But it’s worth emphasizing bike lanes alone do not make a network. In the Netherlands up to two thirds of the network is in mixed, low-traffic conditions, where the bike is the dominant mode.” bit.ly/4fskIGm

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com
