Love ❤️ this section of the Blackrock greenway & the sweep down to the Marina. Frosty morning & a bunch of 🧍♀️🧍🧍♂️ on 🚲 going to work & school safely away from 🚗🚙. Getting a bit of fresh air & exercise. It's about 0°C/32°F at the time. We get almost everywhere within 15 mins because of this route.
More victim blaming from media -> "Many of the fatalities were elderly people who didn’t use pedestrian crossings and walked out in front of lorries whose drivers couldn’t see them under their cabs." www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.
This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

Bryan Reisberg spends one day a week taking shelter dogs out of their kennels, slipping them in a “adopt me” backpack and carrying them around New York.
His goal is to help people see shelter dogs the way he does: curious, sweet and full of potential.

Probably late to this but worth noting that Albert Quay has one lane for straight/left and one lane for right. After crossing straight through the junction there is now only one vehicle lane and adjustments with the footpath now on the quayside and bike lanes moved. #Speirgorm #Cork

In the 4.5-mile bike ride to pick up my kids from school, I found the following in painted bike lanes: at least 6 trash bins, a parked car, a parked firefighter truck (likely lunch break), and a parked city maintenance vehicle. This is unacceptable, and another reason why paint is not infrastructure

N40 near Mahon yesterday. 🚘 & 🚛 as far as the eye can see on both sides in both directions. I could see two motorists on their phones too. How anybody can call the Dunkettle bullshit a success is utterly nuts. Many posts on reddit with lads chirping "but it saves me 2 minutes from before".

As a motorist, in most situations you don’t actually need to know the Highway Code to do the right thing (keeping to date on it is a condition of licence). All you actually need is a basic level of care towards others.
Drivers that fail to uphold a basic duty of care are sociopaths by nature.
