The Strand Road petition is pushing past 950 signatures, and we need to keep it going. These are some recent social media posts that include the petition link if you're on any and want to share them... Bluesky bsky.app/profile/iris... 🧵 thread/

Yet again the courts are failing the victims of road violence. This sentence is an insult to the victim and means that a serial offender will be back on the road in just a few short years. www.thejournal.ie/ex-gaa-star-...

This has now reached 855 signatures -- thanks to all who have signed and let's keep sharing it:

Spent the last few days driving a fairly recent car fitted with collision avoidance, lane guidance and distance alert with auto-braking. I can testify that it *DOES NOT* detect bicycles, scooters or pedestrians - basically sees none of the vulnerable people on the road. @irishcycle.com @ibike.ie

The Strand and Beach Road Residents group, and the Climate and Health Alliance are the latest groups to join the call for Dublin City Council to go ahead with a 12-month trial of the Strand Road cycle path. Add your name to the petition today my.uplift.ie/petitions/tr...

It’s time to ban SUVs. My letter in the Irish Times yesterday. #BanSUVs #SUVBan

While our view tends to be that every week is Bike Week, this looks like a lot of fun and the cyclers of Sandymount need all the support they can get right now

I BIKE Dublin were happy to support this call for the Strand Road Cycle Route trial to proceed this summer. irishcycle.com/2025/04/30/1... You can add your name to the petition at my.uplift.ie/petitions/tr...

Five Years later and now we are petitioning Dublin City Council to trial the 2020 Strand Road cycle path for 12 months. You can sign too: my.uplift.ie/petitions/tr... @irishcycle.com @ibike.ie @uplift-ireland.bsky.social

This is a petition worth signing, whatever way you travel, better cycling infrastructure improves everyone’s health and reduces everyone’s commute times.

Five years is already too long to wait. Please sign this petition calling on @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social to go ahead with the trial of a cycle route on Strand Road in Sandymount. my.uplift.ie/petitions/tr...

Thanks Phil for yet another great round up and record of our monthly #IBIKEBop #Criticalmass rides. Thank you to all who participated both on and off bicycles. A special thank you to our volunteer marshals for keeping us safe at tricky junctions. Save the date! 30 May for next #CriticalMassDub ride.

What an amazing ride last nice with the Critical Mass. We rode our bikes through the new Slivertown Tunnel. What a lovely experience.

Cycling groups to be pedaling out the tunes in circles around Dublin and Belfast city centres this evening The cycles in the capitals north and south, which includes cargo bicycles with speakers pumping out music, are known to get a positive reaction from people around each city's central areas on…

“Bicycles deliver the freedom that auto ads promise” Irish shirt spotted in Dublin post Critical Mass ride. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🍻 📸 @ibike.ie

An fhírinne. @ibike.ie

A broken system...

Great explanation from @ray-cunningham.bsky.social on the different types of ebikes and the important legal distinction between the two main categories.

Just two days until April's #IBIKEBop - get your bike ready and join us at 6pm on Friday opposite the Hugh Lane Gallery. There will be tunes, there will be bikes of all shapes and sizes, and there will be lots of fun! #CriticalMass #CriticalMassDub

If you enjoyed our cycle along Strand Road last week or feel you missed out on the fun, join us next Friday 25th April for our monthly #IBIKEBop. Meet at 6pm on Parnell Square North for an hour-long, music-filled, leisurely cycle around the city, finishing at Barnardo's Square at 7pm. #CriticalMass

We've come a long way in the last four years but this still falls far short of the €360m p/a that was promised back in 2020 which was supposed to represent 20% of the annual transport capital budget. Our guess is active travel got less than 10% of the budget over that period. #Allocate4Cycling

Today is the launch date of ByLandAndSea.ie ! A guide to travel to and from Ireland without flying. Please share and follow!

Way to rain on our parade! 😒 irishcycle.com/2025/04/14/f...

Last call for Irish Cargo Bike owners to complete a research survey if you haven’t already done so. Please help! Survey closes Sunday. eu.surveymonkey.com/r/R8LN5PP

If anyone would like one of those stylish t-shirts that you saw at yesterday's Strand Road cycle you can get them at ibike.ie - including children's sizes. If we manage to sell enough of them we might also be able to add hoodies to our stock.

Over 100 people cycled from the city centre along Strand Road and back this evening seeking a cycle path to be trialled on Strand Road after the Court of Appeal earlier today cleared all legal obstacles for that to happen:

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the more than one hundred people who joined us for this evenings cycle along Strand Road. It was great to have a reason to celebrate and the weather was glorious!
