City of London: - 57% more cycling since 2022 - 1.8 times more bikes than cars - People walking, wheeling and cycling now make up 75% of observed travel activity - Motor vehicle volumes down 70% since 1999 www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/assets/Servi...

Why did the Easter Bunny get pulled over this year? Because he was hopping under the influence, turns out, 149 others joined him in the "egg-stra" special Easter Drinking Under Influence club! www.lmfm.ie/news/lmfm-ne... @irishdocsenv.bsky.social @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social

🚋 Have your say! Next week, Luas Cork opens for public consultation. Share your thoughts on this exciting project to boost active travel in Cork. Luas Cork promises bring new cycle paths & bike parking - and therefore needs your support. 🔗 consult.tii.ie/luas-cork

Need some inspiration today?✨ Check out the newly resurfaced Marina Promenade, stop by the Marina Market & Cortado Coffee, and explore the beautiful, family-friendly Blackrock Greenway! 💚 New to cycling? TFI Bikes are the perfect way to start: www.bikeshare.ie @cyclingincork.bsky.social

Pipe dreams & too much to ask that one day a bicycle valet could be checking in bicycles at Pairc Ui Chaoimh? Lots of people would cycle to events there if there was secure bicycle parking & that would reduce the amount of car journeys & illegal car parking on residential streets.

In case you missed it, I released a new video this week showing how these front loader e-cargo bikes make regular errands, such as a trip to the garden center, easy to do. Five bags of soil, no problem. 👇

#IDEJournalClub Almost half of people in the EU back a ban on fossil fuel ads — nearly 2x more than oppose it. We are campaigning for tobacco-style rules for ads on oil, flights, cruises & cars. #FossilAdsBan

Such a great initiative! This is how you expand capacity while encouraging people to choose sustainable transport and adopt healthier habits. @what-if-cork.bsky.social @cyclingincork.bsky.social @irishcycle.com @irishdocsenv.bsky.social @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social

Mad stuff from @damianboylan.bsky.social. You’d get seven e-bikes for the price of one, and they take up a tenth of the space. Can you imagine the parking mess near schools and colleges with these minicars? ➡️ shorturl.at/ABNol @irishdocsenv.bsky.social @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social

More support for light rail in #Cork from #CorkChamber: www.echolive.ie/corkviews/ar.... I particularly welcome route changes to include Ballincollig town centre. Would be a game-changer for shops & help reduce the traffic woes.👍 @corkcyclingcrew.bsky.social

As the Climate Action Plan 2025 (CAP25) is set to go to Cabinet today, the Irish Cycling Campaign is calling on government to clearly back cycling as a core climate solution – & to protect the funding & delivery needed to make it work. @news.rte.ie @nuachttg4.bsky.social cyclist.ie/2025/04/pres...

Cork has huge potential. But that future won’t arrive by car. We need political will to fix our broken transport system - and yes, Apple agrees. @cyclingincork.bsky.social @what-if-cork.bsky.social @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social @irishcycle.com www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

#Cork hurlers looked excellent this evening. Unfortunately zero interest in promoting cycling to Páirc Uí Chaoimh. The handful of bicycle stands by the City End terrace were blocked. Unsurprising to see traffic backed up for over an hour in all directions after the match finished.

Great news! Corks TFI bikes are being installed along the Marina Promenade and just behind Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Join the Cork Council this weekend for a leisurely cycle tour along the Marina, where you'll explore the beautiful nature on the route together! 😁 shorturl.at/aOKdL

UK: MPs say the Cycle to Work scheme should be rebranded “Cycle for Health” and expanded to low-income workers, freelancers, and pensioners to improve access to active travel. road.cc/content/news... @bikecommuting.ie @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social

Dr Caoimhe Clarke recently embarked on a 3-day train and cycle journey through the eastern Netherlands, and what a revelation it was. Read the full piece using the link! #ActiveTravel #ActiveTransport #SustainableTravel

Cycling makes Dutch transport networks more efficient and inclusive. Eliminating cycling increases commuting times and distances by 14% and 30%, respectively, exacerbates car congestion, and results in a significant reduction in worker welfare. buff.ly/CqJpZJb

It's clearly not just and likely not mainly the passenger cap which is affecting this -- the cost of staying in hotels and eating out are massive and the Dollar is now weaker too: Tourist numbers and spending in Ireland fall by around 25% www.newstalk.com/news/tourist...

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want more walkable streets.
