Seán Canney needs to fuck off. Then fuck off some more then fuck off again and when he thinks it's no longer possible to to fuck off anymore he should go and fuck off!

I often regret taking a journey across Cork City in the car. I never regret taking a journey across Cork City on my bicycle. #traffic

Can't argue with this.... "Kathriona Devereux: 'Every time I get on a bike, I cycle as if I'm about to be in an accident'" www.echolive.ie/corkviews/ar...

Have had mine for two years now and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Zero worries about finding parking, I know exactly how long it till take me to get the kids to school and on to work regardless of the traffic, and that's before the savings www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Someone stole my wife's maroon Raleigh Motus bike in Dublin City Centre this afternoon. If you see it, give me a shout

Christmas tree by bike

The gards are a big part of the problem of road-safety. And yet they're supposed to be one of the groups leading awareness campaigns. It's a sick joke. Also, let's not forget that a number of years ago the CSO publically stated that they don't trust the stats from the gards wrt road injuries!!

A lot of what's happening is farmers extending their buildings/boundaries illegally onto the Irish Rail owned land over the years. Irish Rail need to re-assert their ownership of ALL existing lands that ARE owned by the taxpayer not these cute hoor farmers. irishcycle.com/2025/12/01/o...

*Cycle lane.... Yes I am an idiot

Asking for a friend 😏 (#speirgorm) A cycle they use has become so narrow through grass growth it's unusable. Anything stopping them edging and removing the grass growth? Cork City council have ignored repeated tickets they've logged

All the hi-vis in the world isn't keeping me safe from people speeding, people on their phones and people not paying attention, red light breaking while they're driving. Do better lads

So this driver was speeding, went over to the other side of the road, killed a person, yet the judge said "Her culpability in relation to dangerous driving is on the lower side", and suspended her sentence... ... but remember, where your hi-viz and it'll be grand 🤬

What a load of victim-blaming nonsense. No amount of high-viz clothing can protect you from drivers like this: www.rte.ie/news/2025/11...

I wear a high viz vest and insist that my children wear them if on their bikes. I am not a road safety authority. Your messaging and action need to be on the sources of road danger, not the victims of it. You are fiddling while the road burns.

Absolutely none of which matters when motorists speed, play on their phones, drive drunk/drugged/tired, or simply believe they own the road. My first email this morning is from a resident about motorists speeding through pedestrian lights near homes, schools, a church and a library. It's constant.

It's deffo important to be visible but I'm really looking forward to the bigger and more important campaign aimed at getting drivers to slow down and be vigilant. Caution is required when driving and I see very little of it. People drive as if nothing unexpected will ever happen.

My very expensive hi-viz clothing and bright orange bike is not going to take phones out of drivers hands and make them pay attention to the road.

How much high vis should we wear to counteract drivers using their phones while driving?

I know far too many people who have been knocked off their bikes, and not once has it happened because of poor visibility or because they were not lit up enough. In each case, it was the fault of dangerous driving and/or dangerous infrastructure.

When asked how people like to travel, workshop participants cut car use by half: from 37% to 19% while bus use tripled. A great insight from the recent co-creation workshop on how conversations can shape smarter, greener mobility 🇮🇪 @cyclingincork.bsky.social @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social

Yeah - I know people in West Cork and North Cork who are seeing connectivity between towns and villages that they just didn't have before - older people in particular - able to hop on a bus, do a bit of shopping, maybe stop off for a drink or a cup of tea and back home again - Greens got no credit!

I'm a bit of a nerd about this - but it's hard to quantify just how popular Local Link buses have been in 'rural Ireland' - new one will link villages from Cork to Kerry that haven't had a bus service since the 1960s... www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-n...

Car traffic into Galway City Centre increased in 2024, public transport grew faster, while active travel use was down Between 2023 and 2024, the number of cars entering Galway City Centre increased by 3% but the modal share of people travelling by car is down -- this is thanks to stronger growth…

"Speed limits on roads in built-up and urban areas can only be changed where a majority of the elected members in a local authority vote to do so." jrnl.ie/6846134 @cyclingincork.bsky.social

The mixing of the two in media coverage is extremely unhelpful, and shows a complete lack of interest/understanding of the basics. A quick search for "cycling in NL" would quickly show the difference. First question for any guest talking about infra should be "would you let your kids use it?"

Patrick O'Donovan speaking with Claire Byrne on @rteradio1.bsky.social just now, talking about cycling. It's quite clear from his comments that his primary concept of cycling is biking for leisure. No harm in that, but the big challenge to solve is cycling for transport.

The old bridge that links the twin towns of Killaloe in Co Clare and Ballina in Co Tipperary will close permanently to vehicular traffic from Friday and operate as a pedestrian and cycle link across the River Shannon

Those outraged by a €100k bike shed should look at the annual cost of renting out car park spaces www.thejournal.ie/readme/bike-...

Why the fixation on bike sheds? Far more is being wasted elsewhere. It’s just populist bullshit. P.S I love my bike.

A huge thank you to the ~50 people who have signed this so far. I'll write up a background doc for elected officials in the coming days and they can take this further with City Hall hopefully. 📸 Daybreak this morning on the safer side of the N22.
