"I reject any stereotyping of cyclists or any categorisation of cyclists...I'm very clear that any general comment to the effect that it impacts negatively in terms of the perspective on cyclists is wrong. It shouldn’t happen" - an Taoiseach road.cc/content/news...

So a judge says "Cyclists have become a nightmare in Dublin?" Actually cycling is much more of a nightmare rather than cyclists. We need to focus on making walking and cycling safer on our streets. www.rte.ie/news/dublin/...

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.

Great work from our colleague at @navancycling.ie mapping greenways across the country. Hopefully you'll get to join more dots this year and in the years to come as a network of greenways grows across the country @emcreative.ie 👏 www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/greenways/

@irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social local affiliated groups will be out again this month handing out free 'emergency' bike lights, kindly supplied to us by the National Transport Authority (NTA), so do keep a look out on their social media

Well done!

Excellent reporting from @cianginty.bsky.social as per usual on @irishcycle.com. A few eye-opening facts regarding this judge. irishcycle.com/2026/01/13/j...

Shane Coleman's comments are toughtful and balanced. Glad to see @newstalkfm.bsky.social avoided the temptation to treat such a serious matter as cycling rage bait. Words matter. We all want to get home safely to our families this evening. www.facebook.com/share/v/17V9...

We are deeply concerned by the judge’s remarks. Public commentary from the judiciary should recognise that vulnerability & support a culture of care & responsibility, rather than language that risks normalising hostility toward people who choose to travel by bike. www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co...

Warning! ⚠️ While there's no snow on the ground there's some of the worst ice today around us, including black ice!

Irish Cycling Campaign's Damien Ó Tuama in discussion on The Hard Shoulder @newstalkfm.bsky.social with Ciara Doherty & @briancaulfield.bsky.social @trinitycollege.bsky.social about the next phase of @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social transportation plan. 🚲🚍🚶‍♀️ www.newstalk.com/news/will-du...

"What we need is a transport system that supports heath. This means safe, high-quality infrastructure for walking and cycling integrated with high quality public transport that is complimented by car use when needed." Excellent article by Dr. Catherine Conlon. www.thejournal.ie/readme/road-...

Cargo bikes are growing in popularity all across the country with families ditching their 2nd car or even going car free. Benefits: 💶Low running cost ⏰️Guaranteed commute time 🛒Great for trip chaining to school, work, shops, playground 🤗Fun to cycle - no sweat! www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Happy New Year to all our members and supporters. We enter 2026 with a renewed focus to make walking & cycling safe and accessible for all ages & abilities. If you haven't already, please join us www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/civicrm/cont...

#LightUpYourBike Earlier this month Navan Cycling Initiative were delighted to deliver free bike lights to schools across Navan. Many thanks to Transport for Ireland and @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social for providing the lights again this year!

Terrific points from Vinnie on the political rowback around splitting the RSA, and on road safety more broadly. 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/60ez... @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social @irishcycle.com @irishdocsenv.bsky.social

U-turn on urban speed limits. U-turn on Road Safety Authority reform. Crowe report into Roads Policing Unit*. Fifteen more people already killed this year compared to last. (* We won't yet mention the on-going criminal criminal trial of gardaí accused of subversion of justice for roads offences.)

Deaths and serious injuries among people walking and cycling consistently make up about 40% of all deaths and serious injuries over the last ten years – the most vulnerable road users, present the least danger on our roads, yet are suffering the most serious consequences of our road safety failings.

Great interview below with Dr. Vinnie Wall one of members and lead on our research Action Group speaking to @kerryfm.bsky.social during the week. We need an evidence based, public health aapproach to road safety.

Fairplay @galwaycitycouncil.bsky.social. Bronntanas Nollag do muintir na Gaillimhe! Hit nua scríofa do @kneecapceol.bsky.social thíos! We are looking forward to seeing more investment focused on building active travel networks across the city in 2026.

The Press Release below was issued on Wed 17 December 2025 in response to the reversal of the reform of the Road Safety Authority. @news.rte.ie @nuachttg4.bsky.social @newstalkfm.bsky.social @todayfm.bsky.social www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/road-safety-...

Forward.

I'm trying to be a more active citizen so I'm joining groups like @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social and my local town team. I still haven't felt brave enough to join a political party yet so staying outside for now. But I'm still contacting TDs and Cllrs about issues like lack of parks dept and litter.

I think a few of us will be hoping Kings and Queens of the Road will be under the tree on Christmas day! www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/kings-and-qu...

More than ever, we need a stong united voice advocating for safe & inclusive cycling for people of all ages & abilities. Please support the Irish Cycling Campaign by becoming a member or making a donations through our website - link below. Bígí linn! 🚲🚶‍♀️👩‍🦽🛴 www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie

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…

At the annual members gathering of @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social along with our colleagues in @cyclinguk NI at #Drogheda hosted by @droghedacycling.bsky.social. Supported by Shared Island initiative.

Great spin along the Boyne river in Drogheda with @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social at the Cycling Across Borders: All Ireland Cycle Campaigners Conference.

Good to meet up with other cycle campaigners from across Ireland at the @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social “Crossing Borders Conference”in Drogheda - and thanks to Quay Cycles in Drogheda for the bike hire.

'If social media offers any indication, the [depedestrianising] of Mallin Street to vehicular traffic has largely been greeted as a positive step...' Oh dear... @irishcycle.com @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social @wexbug.bsky.social #Cycling #Wexford #Ireland

Cycling Campaigners’ Gathering in Drogheda – A Great Success! www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/cycling-camp...

What a day meeting @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social advocates from all round the country AND @cyclinguk NI colleagues. They’re working together on a Shared Island Civic Society project. Yay for north-south cooperation 💚🤍🧡❤️🤍💙 All ably hosted by @droghedacycling including a fun bike tour round town ☺️

Our Dublin Campaign will be distributing NTA bike lights soon. Keep an eye on our social media channels for updates on where & when & similar events across the country. If you’d like to help us distribute bike lights check out the link below. www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/winter-bike-...

Geataí busanna. Sin leigheas don chóras tinn tráchta i nGaillimh ach níl éinne ag caint futhu. #BusConnects Is féidir linn go leor airgid agus am a chaitheamh ar réiteach iomlán ach an píosa is éifeachtaí den scéim ná na geataí busanna. 1/3

“The report points out that telling people to move more, is not enough when the design of our towns, cities and transport infrastructure conspires against that.” @sligocycling.bsky.social www.independent.ie/regionals/sl...

“If you want to get more people to make the move to active travel, you have to build safe, modern, connected networks." Navan Cycling Initiative - spot on. Thus is such a brilliant opportunity for Meath CoCo to avail of much sought after funding. www.independent.ie/regionals/me...

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

JOIN US THIS SATURDAY in Parnell Square in Dublin at 1pm. The Irish Cycling Campaign will be meeting outside the entrance to the Hugh Lane Gallery. Bring your bike & show your support for Active Travel in the fight against Climate Change! #COP30 www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/irish-cyclin...

There is so much to do. @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social @cyclingincork.bsky.social

We were at the Mansion House for yesterday's launch of the Climate & Health Alliance’s discussion paper - ‘Active Travel: the Magic Pill. A great collaboration between health care professionals & active travel advocates. #MovementIsMedicine climateandhealthalliance.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

"But everyone knows what I mean when I say "bike"! While that may be true, when we talk about 'bikes' it's easy for many people to forget about those who need to use non-standard cycles such as trikes, recumbents and tandems.

Movement is medicine! Brilliant interview with our very own Dr Caoimhe Clarke! As part of the Climate Health Alliance, we launched the 'Active Travel: The Magic Pill' report today!

You left out this iconic one from a few days before the election 🤣 What a role model for every generation 🙌

Comhghairdeas ó chroí lenár Uachtarán tofa Catherine Connolly! Congratulations to our newly elected utility cycling President elect, Catherine Connolly. #áras25
