What a wildly stupid idea.
Mandatory helmets and high viz is a proven remedy to reduce the number of people cycling. It effectively kills off things like Dublin Bikes.
That's why no other EU country does anything like this. Pure madness.

Helmets and hi-vis clothing to be made mandatory for e-bikes and e-scooter users
Cabinet will sign off on plans to explicitly ban the use of scramblers on roads this morning.
And there we have it folks, having failed to do anything to halt the injury and death toll on our roads the government now plans to criminalise cycling.
This will kill bike share schemes around the country. @bleeperactive.bsky.social

I want to say this clearly. The racist comments I’ve experienced online are not just upsetting, exhausting, or unpleasant. They are dehumanising. And that has a real impact, not just on me, but on others who see them and recognise themselves in them.

We have made the decision to formally close our X social media account. Once a vibrant platform to promote the interests of authors, we feel X is no longer a trusted place for balance, community support, and reliable information.

We're copying the UK on this and we need to stop. As per my recent article:
Raised crossings and continuous footpaths are safety and mobility measures -- it's a red flag that some disability campaigners are fighting them irishcycle.com/2026/01/07/r...

Cork crash closes major city road as man dies in separate dumper truck accident
Emergency services responded to two serious incidents in Cork, with one fatal workplace accident and a major city road closure
The 27 year old woman who was killed in Cork yesterday was cycling on a 50kph street in an urban area.
The default 30kph limit promised by the govt may not have saved her life but it will save lives in the future. We can't allow them to renege on that promise.

This is not the type of Milestone we want to be highlighting, but today marks 1,000 days that MetroLink has been stuck in the planning process
It’s time to start contacting your TD’s!!
Demand answers from them and what the solutions will be!

Once again, the RSA's idea to task citizens with responsibility for road safety seems unhelpful when we have no role in road design and very little influence on the regulation or enforcement of road traffic offences.

Trial a Strand Road cycle path for 12 months
I've just signed this petition calling on the council to trial a Strand Road cycle path for 12 months. Will you sign too?
We are calling on Dublin City Council to trial a Strand Road cycle path for 12 months.
We cannot keep listening to those who are trying to block quick action on climate change, road safety, and increasing mobility options.
Please sign and share: my.uplift.ie/petitions/tr...
