The Gloucestershire Cycle Spine is more than a route – it’s transport choice.
Helping locals get to work, school and leisure destinations, this newly opened section of the Spine is supporting healthier lifestyles, local businesses and the environment.

It’s deeply disturbing to learn that our Road Safety Authority opposes a piecemeal approach to reducing speed limits, yet our @Dept_Transport continues to pursue exactly that strategy, a profoundly flawed approach to road safety reform. Who is accountable here?
The world's best cycling cities aren't born. They're built.
The Dutch approach isn't about culture or coincidence. It's about making choices that prioritise people over cars, and creating places where the bike becomes a safe, easy and attractive option: https://t.co/C7GfSz8Ozl

All aboard the golf train to Adare, Ireland’s answer to North Korea – The Irish Times this is a powerful and dystopian redd well done https://t.co/9ESUpzf433
Europe is the fastest-warming continent on Earth, heating at twice the global average. Right now 150 million people are living under extreme heat, hundreds have died, schools are shut, grids are buckling.
Driven by climate change and global warming, the phenomenon of the “once-in-a-generation” heatwave is now occurring nearly annual. We were warned.
More than 1300 excess deaths have been recorded since 21 June linked to high temperatures in Europe.
Heat stress is often called the “silent killer” – and European homes, workplaces and schools were not built for these temperatures.
@WHO is working with its Member States and partners to address the health threats posed by extreme heat through focusing on preparedness, prevention and stronger health system responses.
In particular, we are encouraging European countries to implement heat health action plans, as part of the broader agenda to protect health against climate change.

We underestimate the true impact of our dangerous roads – The Irish Times nice analogy of the Swiss cheese model. We have a catastrophic systems failure rather than a high vis problem https://t.co/qGTvqnAweN

With increasing call for cyclists to wear high-viz comes the latest data from @RSAIreland is very revealing & most concerning🤔
More than 80% of serious collisions involving cyclists in Ireland occurred on straight roads during daylight hours..!!

Massive delays on the DART due to a crash at Serpentine Ave.
There was a plan to remove these level crossings and to build a network that doesn't just break due to external actors.
The government never funded. Think about that as you stand in a roasting carraige going nowhere.
Diesel has been leaking in to the Liffey from Irish Rail’s depot’s for FIFTEEN MONTHS and it still hasn’t been resolved
Absolutely outrageous that this is allowed to persist into our waterways from our public transport operators

Just under 2,200 cyclists took part in this comprehensive survey on safety on Irish roads. Their message is clear. We have serious issues, and they demand urgent action.
