Great framing of cycling in a broader context, it's not just about cycle lanes and not just about commuting either. Love the neighbourhood angle! @unalestrange.bsky.social @daveysean.bsky.social @lucyhayes.bsky.social
"There is no bigger picture than creating urban environments that provide greater safety for the oldest, youngest and most vulnerable members of our communities and secure their full participation in social life. The first-ever EU-wide survey on loneliness identified Ireland as the loneliest…
Scoffing at cycle lanes in Ireland as ‘little picture’ stuff misses the big picture

A Government source said it would be focused on "the big picture stuff”, but sustainable mobility measures, which are "local and social", might be the biggest "big picture stuff" we have, writes Emmet Ó Briain. Comment & Analysis: / Long read: Two important documents of interest to sustainable mobility advocates and professionals were published recently, thousands of miles apart but with direct relevance to each other.

What an interesting article! Sounds like Cork is a very happening place for cycling but we will certainly be going for the train option to Little Island! Dunkettle reminds us of the roundabout formerly known as The Mad Cow! A loop with added ferry and a market at the end Looks like a winner!

Spring is in the air & members & friends of Sligo Cycling Campaign are going to stretch our legs a little bit farther now & start a #MonthlyCycle to #GoStrandhill. This is not an organised event just a meet up at 11 am in Strandhill on the 1st Sunday of the month. See you there!

👍Ger Herbert for almost single-handedly taking on the role in print, broadcast & sm of explaining what is changing re speed limits and why & when! The point re "Hey! People live on these roads & sometimes need to go about their lives on 🚶🏃♀️🚲 👩🦼 🚌 not necessarily in 🚘🚗" was very well made

Yes agreed! Unfortunately another publisher of numerous regional newspapers allowed a shockingly inaccurate headline to accompany its digital editions. The factual info on how to identify the different road categories is most useful. We know" the road to town" or "Granny's road" not the L1234
Finally some factual reporting on the implementation of speed limit reductions on Local roads.
80kph was never an appropriate limit for this classification of road.
Fairplay to @thejournal.ie for informing the public while others choose to score political points.
