These parents should not have to camp out all night at Department of Education to demonstrate to get their children the special education that meets their needs. Education is a #HumanRight We dropped by with @ibikedublin.bsky.social to lend them some support and solidarity ❤️

Solidarity with the parents camping out over night outside the Department of Education demanding equal education rights for children with disabilities.

A good reminder that cycle lanes and footpaths don't appear congested as they (mostly) allow people to move through quickly and efficiently. Video taken from charlemont luas stop on a rainy morning.

Everyone: Hey, wouldn't it be great if we had a reliable, frequent bus service and safe cycling infrastructure? The Residents Associations of leafy south Dublin: Hell no! It will make my car journey a couple of minutes longer! #BusConnects

Christ. Your Swedish expression for today is: Störst går först (ie big object priviledge, applied beyond traffic situations).

Remember folks, it's important to wear hi-viz clothing so that you can be seen by people driving. #BeSafeBeSeen

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth, bicycle friends! Four bicycle riders stop for a photograph on the Alameda Avenue Bridge, Denver, Colorado ca. 1905

This is one of the most effective road safety ads we have seen in Ireland. Hats off to Dublin City Council's Active Travel Unit for doing on a shoestring what the Road Safety Authority have failed to with a multi-million euro budget. www.tiktok.com/@garron_musi... #RoadSafety #ActiveTravel #BeSound

Thanks to @irishcycle.com for republishing my thoughts on some of the commitments around active travel and sustainable mobility in the recent Irish Programme for Government. (And for giving them a snappier headline!) irishcycle.com/2025/01/25/s...

Thank you to @irishcycle.com for sharing our comments on Conor Faughnan's recent interview. We hope Newstalk can move to a more balanced and informed approach to sustainable transport infrastructure. The safety of the most vulnerable people on our roads depends on it. irishcycle.com/2025/01/23/c...

It baffles us how Conor Faughnan is still considered to be a "transport expert". This interview is riddled with errors, inaccuracies, outlandish claims, and displays a very poor understanding of road safety. www.newstalk.com/news/governm... Full response here: www.linkedin.com/posts/i-bike...

Writing in @thejournal.ie this morning about the need to be honest with ourselves in deciding how our beautiful city of Galway evolves over the coming years, in light of recent legislation and High Court judgements. Now is the time for responsible decision making. www.thejournal.ie/prev/6598715...

50 years or more after the Dutch "Stop de Kindermoord" movement we in Ireland are dealing with the same misguided and ineffectual approach to road safety, pleading for good driver behaviour when what we need is an end to the dominance of cars on our streets. lcc.org.uk/news/intervi... #RoadSafety

It's great to see the focus on mobile phone use by An Garda Síochána. This is a particular risk for people walking and cycling. You can't "Be Seen" by someone who isn't looking, no matter how many lights you have and how much hi-viz you are wearing. www.independent.ie/irish-news/g... #RoadSafety
