WexBUG - Wexford Bicycle User Group 💜💛

School St. #Wexford is now a one way street.
In doing so, Wexford town became that little less cycle friendly, mandating a more circuitous route for people on bikes.
WexBUG made a submission to allow bicycle contraflow here but unfortunately @wexfordcoco didn’t run with it.

If it was France..👇

Superb branding and messaging from #Wexford #Fleadh 👏

Cllr Staples is right - there’s more and more traffic.. 💯 🚘 🚙

Cormac compares the built section of the Newtown Rd to building a road,starting out in the middle of a field and ending up in the middle of another field & compares how drivers might use that.
