An Garda Síochána continue to place the main responsibility for road safety on vulnerable road users.
People daring to cycle are not the problem in Ireland. Cars and the people driving them are — or more importantly, speed, dangerous driving, and the almost complete lack of enforcement.

A person rolled their car into my teenage son a fortnight ago. It was broad daylight and the driver was looking down while their car was rolling forward. I know, because I was yelling, trying to get their attention. Drivers who don't see us are often not looking.

The importance of visibility on our roads cannot be understated, particularly for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists.

Today, I saw a driver overtake a stopped bus and plough through a pedestrian crossing. He beeped three times as he sped though. The beeping was to warn people because, as he had overtaken a bus, he had zero visibility of who was about to step out onto the crossing.
But sure, more hi-vis, everyone

Four months after it was promised, we finally have the government's transport investment plan between now and 2030. It's bad. Roads are in, public transport is out. A lot of public transport projects being put on the long-finger to make funding available for new roads.

Excellent piece by Sadhbh o'Neill about the car-centric approach to transport. I have absolutely no doubt that virtually none of our elected reps rely on public transport to go about their daily lives.

Climate: Imagine how different things would be if politicians had to use public transport
Long lead-in times, a lack of sustained policy commitment, and start-stop approaches to big projects all contributed to where we are now

What's a "semi-hilly city"? Asking for a friend.
New research compares the use of electric and regular bikes in DC's Capital Bikeshare network.
Conclusion: E-bikes make bikeshare better.
"E-bikes enable broader dispersion across the city by connecting more distant bikeshare stations and supporting extended mobility."

Local government in Ireland is so pathetically powerless that plans for a citywide traffic speed reduction by @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social can simply be vetoed by central government. If Paris was as impotent as this, Mayor Anne Hildago couldn’t have achieved anything …
Now that the government has abandoned a plan to make city speed limits 30km/h by default, the Dublin City Council is returning to the slog of doing it bit by bit. At a meeting Wednesday, councillors and council managers expressed frustration with the long road ahead.

Fair play to MTU – 96 covered bike spaces, just like that. That’s how you do it. Four of these at the Páirc Uí Chaoimh and you'd hardly notice in the landscape. More of this, please.
