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 if the Gardai enforced them, and people walking should take steps to be visible on unlit roads. I get it, nobody likes it when people are walking on unlit roads in the dark without lights and wearing dark clothing, and it's annoying when some cyclists think they are ninjas.

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...'

Cycling Campaigners’ Gathering in Drogheda – A Great Success! “You can’t beat meeting up in person!” That was one of the remarks I heard after our Irish Cycling Campaign Gathering held in Drogheda on Saturday 22 November 2025. I couldn’t agree more. When our dai...

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.

Sligo backing for the single medication that could improve our lives drastically A Sligo cycling enthusiast has backed a new campaign aimed at encouraging active travel.

“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.”

Fairplay @navancycling.ie - keep het lit!

‘Outdated thinking’: Cycling group responds to councillors’ comments over Dunboyne–Clonee Active Travel Project A cycling community group has said it is “disappointing” to see some councillors in the Ratoath Municipal District criticise the Dunboyne to Clonee Active Travel Links.

“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.

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

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.

Drawings of six non-standard cycles. First row: an upright tandem, and upright delta trike Second row: an e-assist clip-on handcycle attached to a manual wheelchair and a wheelchair transporter trike Third row: a recumbent tadpole trike and a side-by-side tandem delta trike.

"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 🙌

That's our favourite!

Opinion: Those outraged by a €100k bike shed should look at the annual cost of renting out car park spaces We have completely normalised investment in congestion, pollution and the continuation of car-first planning, writes Ciarán Cannon.

'The real scandal here is not “bike shed groundhog day.” It’s the groundhog day of car dependency, subsidised at vast public expense, locking us into congestion, pollution, poor health and missed climate targets.'

Great piece from @ciarancannon.bsky.social
