Segment below where @rteradio1.bsky.social David McCullough chats to @irishtimes.com Olivia Kelly about the results of the National Walking & Cycling Index. There is huge support for investment in active travel infrastructure across our 5 cities. 🚶‍♀️👩‍🦽🚲 rteradioapp.page.link/5MpQifbg69Lt...

"The vast majority of residents across the State’s five main cities want increased investment in cycling infrastructure, even when that results in less road space for cars, the NTA’s 2025 Walking and Cycling Index has found." @darraghobrientd.bsky.social www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...

We agree with @horganp.bsky.social. The streets where we live are not just routes for traffic; they are places where children walk to school, older people cross to the shop, and communities meet. www.echolive.ie/corkviews/ar... @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social @bcolligst.bsky.social

@ibike.ie Hi, a colleague of mine found two bikes in a ditch this morning, ones a cargo bike with seats and a mountain bike around Dublin 6. Have any of your members reported any thefts?

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

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

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

@irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social @dublincommuters.bsky.social @cyclingireland.bsky.social evidence presented to JOC Road Safety this morning. [Starts c. 43 min] www.oireachtas.ie/en/oireachta...

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

Yesterday, we were at the Mansion House visiting Lord Mayor Ray McAdam to give him a very special bike. It’s the 1,000th bike rebuilt by the awesome crew of The Bike Hub UpCyclers programme. TBH volunteer Gary officially presented the bike.

Users of Ranelagh Village asked for feedback on interim active travel route to “help us shape the design of the permanent works to follow” Users of the Interim Ranelagh active travel route are being asked to provide their feedback to Dublin City Council's Active Travel Office. The scheme, which is…

This single article may contain the highest density of excellent quotes of any I've ever seen. I'm saving this to use in talks and class, for sure. So many of all the phenomena I've ever studied are encapsulated here, with characteristic Irish wit.

Funding matters, but Cork needs political will most of all, and politicians brave enough to back it. @fiannafailparty.bsky.social @social-democrats.bsky.social @labourpartyireland.bsky.social @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social @irishcycle.com www.echolive.ie/corknews/ari...

Sadhbh O’ Neill says that the reduction of road deaths in Ireland is being strangled by a lack of political courage. @sadhbhoneill.bsky.social @thejournal.ie www.thejournal.ie/readme/irela...

"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/

Worth nothing The same judge fined €600 after pleading guilty to failing to provide a sample of his breath at the request of a garda m.independent.ie/irish-news/j...

@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…
