@tomoleary888 Not sure this will have much impact on people deciding to leave thier bikes at train stations while at work. There are much better solutions that are proven to work. Secure bike shelters would be much more effective, these are used in NI and across the UK. https://t.co/9EL9NR9IXH

Fantastic post. Lots of great info. 🤩

Well done to Dublin City Council for Loving 30. Why not contact your local Councillors and tell them that you too are Loving 30 https://t.co/SLciA9vniH

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

56% of Dutch cyclists are women. Why?

The mobility networks benefit all types of trips: to school, shops, friends, etc. They physically separate bike lanes, calm traffic and prioritize public transport on roads and rails. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2021

@ridelikeaturtle Seems like they need some bicycle calming measures.

[Irish Cycling Campaign @cyclistie]

It's today! Where will #5kmfromhome take you? What #rotharrides will you discover? Let us know!

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

The Dutch are famous for road safety. Yet stop signs are very rarely used. Why? They're inconvenient, inefficient and less safe.

"People on bikes are vulnerable road users. Which is the problem when you take laws for cars and try to apply them to bikes."

@bigdogbluenose @CllrKarenPower @tomoleary888 @seanaorodaigh @davidstory @Skerries_CC @skerriesrugby @SkerriesNews @SkerriesC @SYSS4U @Skerries @SkerriesHarps Completely agree, we many of the roads in Skerries have plenty of room for cycling infrastructure. It great to see FCC taking an active approach after years of little to no funding.

[Skerries Cycling Initiative @SkerriesCycling]

Great initiative from school principals in Galway

[Galway School Cycle Bus @cycle_bus]

This is a big deal. A very big deal. 28 primary and secondary principals in Galway city signed an open letter calling for safer infrastructure around our schools. This must have positive consequences. @GalwayCycling @GalwayCityCo @GreenSchoolsIre

@CllrKarenPower @MaynoothCycling @waterwaysirelan @cyclistie Not sure where this information was sourced, but peddle assist ebikes are permitted on all Irish greeways, as long as they are legal and don't require licence/ Road tax etc. They are hired out by most bike hire companies, including the Royal, Barrow and Grand.

[Skerries Cycling Initiative @SkerriesCycling]

@MaynoothCycling @garrettmullan @waterwaysirelan @cyclistie Not too much experience with NL, did cycle from Skipol south to Antwerp on shared greenways between towns. I spent more time on canals/rivers in France and they were all shared. Everyone seemed to have respect for each other.

[Skerries Cycling Initiative @SkerriesCycling]

@cyclistie @MaynoothCycling @garrettmullan @waterwaysirelan As greenway a relatively new concept here, there's always going to be some conflict. I've toured the Royal over 20 times and rarely have issues. It's usually cyclists on the wrong side or walkers with headphones. A good bell sorts everything else out.

[Skerries Cycling Initiative @SkerriesCycling]

@cyclistie @garrettmullan @MaynoothCycling @waterwaysirelan Escooters are not legal in Ireland yet, I'm sure WI and local councils will update thier policy with new legislation. Peddle assist ebikes are allowed on all greeways. A business on the Waterford greenway tried to hire escooters and was shut down two years ago.

[Skerries Cycling Initiative @SkerriesCycling]

@garrettmullan @MaynoothCycling @waterwaysirelan @cyclistie Completely agree, micro mobility needs legislation on speed limits etc. Some escooters can travel up to speeds of 40kph. They should be brought in line with pedal assist ebikes with a max speed of 25kph.

@garrettmullan @MaynoothCycling @waterwaysirelan @cyclistie Of course they can, but should they on a shared space? While traveling on greeways in Europe, it was not uncommon to see speed limits painted on to the greenway. 10kph close to towns with lots of foot fall. It's about respecting other users.
