Have you lived somewhere with no secure, sheltered bike parking?

Lack of decent parking at home is a big barrier.

I worked with the Belarmine RA and the council to run a pilot to see could we support residents in a practical way with advice and funding.

Shovel-ready Luas and Dart projects delayed “to free up funding for more roads”
The Government is delaying shovel-ready public transport projects such as Dart+ South West and Luas Finglas in order "to free up funding for more roads", the Green Party's transport spokesperson, Cllr Feljin Jose, has claimed. He said that this is a "disaster" that large new areas of housing in Dublin -- including a development of nearly 900 homes approved in Adamstown today and the major housing project at Poolbeg -- were being left without the promised transport links, forcing more people into cars on the capital's congested roads.

Ah here.

Active Travel getting €360m every year while road spend goes up from €1,600m to €2,700m.

We've seen time and again how building active travel infrastructure increases modal shift, boosting health, reducing congestion and saving money.

Serious leadership would have understood that.

Here’s my offer to retailers:

I’ll pay for the bike racks in front of your store. In return, I’ll receive €1/$1 from you for every customer with a bike as a return on my investment in your store.

An Amoc shutdown later this century could see millions of Irish people become #climate migrants; this is something our politicians talking tough on cracking down on migration to Ireland should keep in mind, as I discuss in today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social

We should reflect on 'get-tough' proposals on immigration: If the Amoc currents that moderate Ireland’s climate fail, temperatures will plunge, making grass-based agriculture impossible

My 4th year students present projects on decarbonisation of transport at 10am. They have lived experience in how far we have to come: I got a 7:20am email from a student whose 6:53am bus didn't arrive, meaning they won't make it for 10am. Happy World Sustainable Transport Day.

This bus-and-cycle expressway runs directly from Nijmegen station to the university and hospital in the south of the city. People on bikes and buses get there fast without delays, while motor traffic has to take the longer route.

Priorities matter. This is what it looks like when a city means it.

The cyclops at bakers and honeypark need longer greenman time and red paint at cycle crossing. There's not enough time to cycle around the outside and for pedestrians to diagonally cross on the inside @dlrcc.bsky.social
It's great to see the honeypark junction made safe. Now open. RIP Greta Price-Martin.

Goedeavond from Utrecht, who today @eiturbanmobility.eu named the most bicycle-friendly city in the world:

“What sets Utrecht apart is that it has understood something paramount long before most others, that the goal is no longer to make space for cycling, but to construct the city around cycling.”

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?
