Cyclist who lives in city of over 3 million does in fact know your friend who rides a bike there too.

Bumped into a friend earlier doing some lecturing part-time in Dublin city. Bought a gaff in Naas coz it was affordable. Cycles the canal path to Sallins, pops the bike in a locker then takes the “fast” Galway train to Heuston where he picks up a public bike. Has it down to an art.

Weeks of crafting preparation with this wonderful group in @mudisland.bsky.social cottage the joy of the day, we got to lead out the @brigitdublin.bsky.social parade & see other participants again this year! So many people lined streets to cheering us on, felt so empowering to be celebrating women!

We’re not made of sugar! We enjoyed a rain themed playlist for our #IBIKEBop with @ibike.ie Join us on 27 Feb for the next one! #Criticalmass #CriticalmassDub

Fun @ibike.ie #CriticalMassDub in the rain, hope we brought some fun on a rainy night in Dublin @brigitdublin.bsky.social illuminations and flags look great! Looking forward to #BrigitByBike in the #Brigit parade on Sunday. @dublincycling.bsky.social

"I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good." – Bruce

If only cars stayed out of bike lanes the way snowplows do.

The last Friday of the month is almost here, which means it's time for #criticalmass #IBikeBop

Yet again we have more BS calls for people on bikes to have manditory HiViz & plastic hats. Meanwhile in the real world the actual threat comes from drivers. This guy was looking at his phone as he blindly followed the car in front of him across a segregated cycle-lane.

Only a week until @brigitdublin.bsky.social parade & we are so excited this is our third year in the parade and we have been busy crafting like Brigit in @mudislandcommunitygarden cottage! @dublincycling.bsky.social @ibike.ie @monthlycycles.bsky.social @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social #brigitbybike

Vulnerable road users are not difficult to see if you’re a competent driver - driving to the conditions and when driving to test standard Is it that focusing on supposed ‘visibility challenges’ is focusing on the wrong challenge?

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

This is quite amusing: Business owner bills Lime £7,600 over parking row, after seizing e-bikes left on his property and taking operator to court. But also makes me think of all the "lost revenue" that councils could collect from cars parked on pavements. road.cc/content/news...

Does anyone know where I can get a cashmere comb in Ireland? Not via the Bezos empire.

‘Cyclists have become a nightmare in Dublin’: Judge reduces €50,000 damages award by 80% By the same token, I have to declare experientially that drivers seem to be out-of-control on our roads managing to kill 190 in 2025. www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co...

U16s are banned from e-scooters, so how can adding high-vis or helmet laws make them safer? irishcycle.com/2026/01/11/u...

“Selling a machine that can go at a speed in excess of what is allowable is a huge anomaly,” - Minister of State for Road Safety Seán Canney What until he finds out how fast cars can go above the allowed limit! 🙄

If you don’t like it. Move to Texas. Fair.

This R.E.M. Lyrics page is not about politics we all need a break sometimes But this is wrong. America, what are you doing to yourself? Invading countries? Arresting Citizens? Shooting your own citizens? Planning on invading other countries? Abducting leaders? Make this stop please

There is a bicycle scene in the film "Chicken Run". Technically it's a tricycle, but it's a chicken and you can't expect a chicken to balance on a bicycle.

Thanks for the 929 followers. Very appreciated and appropriate for an R.E.M. page 9-9 is pronounced 9 to 9! 👍 Whole nine yards !!

He's been in the job for a year and has done absolutely nothing, so yeah, it probably would take *him* at least two years www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

I take it he's going to reduce default speed limits to 30km/h, implement progressive fines for speeding, roll out automated camera enforcement and set up a dedicated traffic unit for the Gardaí. I could go on, these are just the first 4 things that sprung to mind (without turning over any stones).

Happy new year! Wishing everyone protected bike lanes and efficient public transit in the new year.

This government abandoned lower speed limits and abandoned reforms to the RSA. Is this what "deeply concerned" and "doing everything" looks like? Red light cameras were supposed to be installed early this year. Where are they?

Flashback to 1989 when I was recording the U2 concert broadcast on FM radio on at least two “stereos” at home in case one failed or was interrupted.

New York City is in a transition phase, and the results could be amazing...

We had such a good time on the Christmas #IBIKEBop @ibike.ie are rolling again to blow away the festive cobwebs 🗓️2 January 2026 🕕6PM 📍Parnell Sq N Everyone is welcome #CriticalMass #FreeTheCycleLanes

The best case I have ever seen for building more dedicated, safe and segregated cycleways.

20 year old son heading out on e-bike to meet friends to try out new Xmas glow in the dark golf balls. Will they be safe. None of us know. Because @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social and @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social have installed zero metres of safe infrastructure on the Colinton Rd route into town. 😬

And so the ‘urging’/‘appealing’ to drivers continues. This is what #ZeroVision road safety looks like in #Ireland.

Quite a view of Dublin's Ha'penny Bridge from the Woollen Mills this evening.

The gov has done next to nothing to reduce road deaths, so its going to double down and depend on the failed RSA again. What could go wrong?

This, 100% this!

I tried to find a photo of Christopher Plummer riding a bike, and instead I found this photo of a guy named Chris who's a plumber, which is even better.

Every study that's ever been done on free parking shows that it increases congestion and car use. And spaces will probably be occupied by store owners and workers. And honestly, people aren't that price-sensitive about parking. In most Irish towns their stay will cost less than a cup of coffee.

The debate about building safe cycling infrastructure always seems to be about those who cause the pain and destruction opposing protection for those they hurt. How is this even tolerated? (screenshot of @dublininquirer.com's Collision Tracker)

Meanwhile established lobby groups, long inside the walls, can say “Ireland should use a chunk of its EU political capital to get a nitrates derogation so dairy farmers don’t have to change.” Most Irish people are not dairy farmers, and would prefer clean rivers www.antaisce.org/news/eu-nitr...
