"Cyclists belong at the centre of our roads, not at the margins" #LunchTimeLive @kevigi.bsky.social from @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social gets generous airtime from Andrea Gilligan to comment on findings from a Cycling Ireland survey. @newstalkfm.bsky.social www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...

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.

"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

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 🚲

🧵Irish Cycling Campaign strongly disagrees with making hi-vis wear mandatory by law. We call on Tipp Council to look at the evidence, have a think about the actual causes of road danger, and retract this silly motion. tinyurl.com/yc6k4m3a

Great quotes from that principal! “Also, the issue is that so many people are driving these massive Land Rovers that they don’t need to drive when you’re in a city, and they’re taking up most of the road.”

Never a better time to avail of the bike to work scheme. There are brilliant independent bike shops all over the country who know their stuff. €3,000 for cargo & ecargo bikes. €1,500 for pedal-assist bikes €1,250 for other bikes. Info here www.revenue.ie/en/jobs-and-... www.rte.ie/news/politic...

Irish Cycling Campaign Statement on the Fatal Road Traffic Collision in Dublin City Centre on Wed 01 April 2026 www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/irish-cyclin...

Maybe more cycling study trips or education sessions needed across the country for councillors and TDs? Many still clearly don't understand the function, impact & importance of safe cycling infrastructure & traffic calming measures. @darraghobrientd.bsky.social m.independent.ie/regionals/lo...

Now do Galway! @rteradio1.bsky.social We'll happily take bets ...

Not in years, but tomorrow! We have the solutions to the fuel crisis right now: temporary cycle lanes, 30km/h limits, and free public transport. Yet we keep choosing subsidies that accelerate climate collapse. My piece in The Journal this evening.

Leitrim Cycling Festival is back from the 8-10 May. Always a brilliant weekend with an action packed itinerary again this year. It's a fab festival for families too. Bígí ann! More info & booking @ leitrimcyclingfestival.com

Great thread on cargo bikes here from @johnlegge.bsky.social. Cargo bikes are a game changer for families and businesses- you save time, money and they are great fun. Never a better time to buy with Bike to Work supports & fuel prices soaring.

Many of our members joined us because they experience this behaviour at their children's school daily. This is a national problem & it's frustrating to see politicians try to capitalise on pushback against traffic calming measures instead of educating people. www.dublininquirer.com/across-the-c...

And just in case you missed it - it took have the time bike bike than by car and the bike was also 20 min quicker than by bus. Cycle lanes are well worth investing in. It's also time to get cars out of the bus lanes. www.instagram.com/reel/DWRovtE...

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

E-bike curious? Mark your calendars 📅 An E-Bike Library is coming to Cork this April, a chance to try electric bikes and see how they can change the way we get around Cork. @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

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.

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/
