The response from the Minister's representative at yesterday's meeting in Leinster House was shocking.

It's very clear that this government is not taking road safety seriously and people will die as a result.

www.fm104.ie/news/fm104-n...
Jason Cullen from the Dublin Commuter Coalition said a response from a staff member from the Junior Transport Minister, Sean Canney's office, during that presentation, was alarming. "The clear indication that we got from the Minister's staff member there, was that it would be at least 18 months before we see any form of instruction to local county councils. 'When I pointed out to him that within that time 20 to 30 cyclists will probably have been killed on our roads due to the current trends that we're seeing, the response from him was that it is 'regrettable' that that will happen. "It really took my breath away."

Thank you to everyone who turned up today and to all the TDs and Senators who took the time to listen to us this morning.

Unfortunately, no one from the government joined us and the response from the Minister's representative was underwhelming.

We will continue the fight for safer roads for all.

We're seeing a lot of these around Dublin lately. It signifies two things:

1. Less protection for people cycling
2. Evidence that the wand that was there didn't provide much protection anyway.

Plastic wands are so 2020 - time for something more permanent @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social!

Now we come straight to you from the @irishtimes.com for the latest on the evil cyclists...
Rupert Murdoch cookie meme: Three men sit around a table. The man on the left, labelled "cyclists" has nothing in front of him. The man on the right, labelled "pedestrians" has a plate with one cookie on it. The man in the middle, labelled "drivers" has a large plate heaped with cookies on it. He is pointing at the cyclist while saying to the pedestrian "Careful mate...that cyclist wants your cookie!"

It's 104 years since J.N. "Ding" Darling published this cartoon about situation people, and especially children, find themselves in while trying to cycle safely.

Sadly the same attitudes persist today.

Safe cycling infrastructure is better for everyone, whether you are cycling, driving or on foot.
Two panel cartoon with the heading at the top reading "...By the way, how about a place in the sun for the small boy with a bicycle?" The first panel shows a boy riding a bicycle on the road. An irate man in a passing car yells at him "Get off the road there - do you want to get killed!?" The second panel shows a boy on a bicycle on a footpath. An irate man grabs him by the arm yelling "Don't you know it's against the law to ride on the sidewalk?!" A passing woman says to a police officer "It's about time these young rascals were taught to respect the law."

People who cycle are often accused of cycling "in the middle of the road".

What they really mean of course is cycling in the middle of the lane, and there are lots of good reasons why people do this, explained succinctly in this @davewalker.bsky.social cartoon for @cyclinguk.bsky.social
Cartoon entitled "Road Positioning" and subtitled "Times when it might be safer to cycle in the middle of the lane". There are four illustrated examples 1. Approaching road narrowings where it would be unsafe for drivers to overtake e.g. traffic islands etc 2. In slower-moving traffic. Keeps you visible. You can move over to the left again if the traffic speeds up. 3. Where there are parked cars and a car door might be opened. 4. On quiet roads. Keeps you away from various hazards found in the gutter.

While our view tends to be that every week is Bike Week, this looks like a lot of fun and the cyclers of Sandymount need all the support they can get right now
