Dear drivers,
It’s Sunday - expect to see lots of cyclists on our roads.
“That text can wait.
Your life can’t. 🚗📱🪤
Your phone isn’t just a distraction — it’s a TRAP.
Every glance down is a gamble with your life and everyone else’s on the road.
Put it down.
Arrive alive.
Uisce Éireann was fined €20m for not fixing their target on leaks,
housing estates are not being built for the lack of water infrastructure,
And they are awarding themselves bonuses.
It cost €8,500,000 to drive senior ministers around the country last year.
Cars cost extra at €85,000 on average. State covers fuel and maintenance.
No wonder they don't understand the cost of living crisis.

😂 Something I didn’t expect to see today:
Cows are really good swimmers and in Ireland, farmers load them onto boats to take them to graze on offshore islands.
Who knew? Irish cows are living their best lives.
Some essential reading here particularly for local authorities, hospitals etc. who may feel tempted to shy away from decent bike parking facilities in the face of the recent Kerry Hospital faux outrage.
Balance is important!
Excellent article @SadhbhO 👏

@SafeCyclingEire@SadhbhO Thank you so much for highlighting the much needed discussion. Building the infrastructure around busy workplaces and educational institutions will increase cycling - why not be prepared?! It’s not a waste if people are using it, and they’re freeing up car parking spaces.
Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes.
WARREN BUFFETT: "I can end the U.S. deficit problem in 5 minutes."
"Just pass a law that any time there's a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."
When Allyson Felix became pregnant, Nike threatened to cut her sponsorship contract by almost 70% because of her pregnancy.
They told her:
“You should know your place… and just run.”
Amid all this, at seven months pregnant, Allyson had to undergo an emergency C-section due to a serious complication.
Her baby girl spent over a month in the neonatal intensive care unit.
But two years later, Allyson qualified for her fifth Olympic Games, with her daughter in the stands cheering her on.
Allyson left Nike.
And she founded her own shoe brand: Saysh One.
At the Tokyo Olympics, she ran wearing her own sneakers, carrying the motto:
“I know exactly where my place is.”
With 11 medals, she surpassed Carl Lewis and became the most decorated American track and field athlete in history.
And to all women, she gave this message:
“I raised my voice and built this company for you, so that you’ll never have to train at 4:30 in the morning, five months pregnant, just to hide it from your sponsor.” ❤️

@GreenwayPlease@Aidan_Regan You’re correct but there are too many charges all coming in at once to make living affordable. The carbon issue is real. No denying that. But eating and heating homes is the top priority right now. Can we develop greener initiatives like car pool incentives/more trains etc
Cycling Ireland’s Road Safety Commission has published the findings of its most comprehensive member survey to date, painting a sobering picture of the safety crisis facing cyclists across the island of Ireland.

Who invited @LeoVaradkar to the discussion? When politicians get only one pension (when they reach age 66 - the same as us), then he may comment on subsidies. Until then, enjoy your Irish food, produced by the best the world has to offer.
Sad that they need subsidies to survive.
