Unpopular opinion (among some urbanists): The author is right. High-speed, battery-powered bikes are a menace in bike lanes. They're dangerous for those biking slower, and they deter some people from biking at all. Who wants to ride with their 5-year old while someone zooms by at 28 mph?

Friends who are NUI graduates, please run- not walk- to the post box with your votes for Alice Mary Higgins No. 1. I have a bad feeling about the energy levels amongst the non-headbanger, non godbothering voter base. Please do make sure one of the best Senators can continue to make things better.

Great article from @gerherbert.bsky.social "The cars that promised us freedom have left us stuck in traffic, inhaling fumes and created soulless city centres with streets designed purely to serve vehicles.... The choice is clear, and the time to act is now." www.independent.ie/opinion/comm...

"The evidence is undeniable. Slower speeds save lives. Better cycling infrastructure saves lives. Fewer cars in city centres saves lives. A 30kmh speed limit isn't some Orwellian plot to ruin your life, it's an attempt to salvage a bit of sanity" Brilliant article, @gerherbert.bsky.social

If we are going to fix Galway's traffic & housing crisis, we need a sustainable approach with public transport & active travel at its core. Building a massive road to make it easier for more cars to pour into Galway city, won't work. www.thejournal.ie/readme/galwa...

No doubt traffic is bad in Galway- our roads are badly managed which makes them dangerous for many and inefficient for others. Note that Waterford and Cork, the two worst cities in this survey, are both bypassed. We need low traffic streets, good for tradespeople and for people who want to cycle.

We build vehicles that weigh 9000 pounds with 1000HP, can go 0-60mph in 3 seconds and market them recklessly. We then ask people to wear construction vests to cross the street. This is all so beyond absurd and it's truly incredible that we've normalized this.

This is unclear reporting -- only local rural roads are to reduce to 60km/h, not all 80km/h roads. A speed limit is as much a signal to people as it is for enforcement and that's before we get to the paradoxical arguments about enforcement from the Cllr: www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/new-...

I'm going to keep repeating it until the Irish media pays attention - the far right aren't democrats and don't care about not getting votes. They want to be seen and heard, and are delighted that you all made immigration a #GE24 issue on their behalf. You're feeling smug, but being played.

Mary Hanafin on Raidio na Gaeltachta earlier said all parties are now in favour of tackling climate change. She then criticised measures Greens introduced to reduce transport emissions & enable public & active transport. All in favour of tackling climate change in theory.🤷🏼‍♀️
