Today my #BikeLibrary was launched in 20 schools in @DubCityCouncil with the amazing support of @TFIupdates and @BleeperActive . It’s about giving families an alternative to their own private cars, in the hope they would cycle to school rather than drive.

What's a #BikeLibrary? It's a bike sharing scheme for families to promote a shift towards sustainable transport!

I got some absolutely amazing news!
The @HorizonEU proposal I coordinated was succesful.
We will designing inclusive, safe, affordable and sustainable urban mobility in several cities in Europe and empower citizens & practitioners with tools and solutions to increase road safety

📢A new exciting 30 months postdocs position in my team to work on co-creating data, knowledge & local action via Citizen Observatories. I'm looking for an enthusiastic person to develop tools, tech & data services to add value to sensor observations:

🎃👻 a #cycling E.T. is visiting the #BikeLibrary in Harold's Cross @EducateTogether tomorrow morning! it's all about showing children that active travel is not only good for the environment and our health, but also fun!

thank you @IBIKEDublin, It was fantastic to see some much support!! something needs to be done to improve the cycling infrastructure in Harold's Cross! there are 5 schools in the area and no safe cycling for the children. Speed limit is at 50km/h with plenty of cars speeding!

[Francesco Pilla @f_pilla]

I'm delighted that the @Dept_Transport has committed to support the replication of my #BikeLibrary to more schools in #Ireland! The new tax incentive of €3,000 will boost the use of cargo bikes by families instead of cars to bring children to #school. https://t.co/EbQeqpdze8

This truck is parked ON the protected cycle lane of the @CentraIRL [197 Harolds Cross] every second day. The truck driver convenience seems to be more important than #Roadsafety for the children cycling to the 4 schools in the area! Please @GardaTraffic do something

[Francesco Pilla @f_pilla]

another great story from out @WecountH project! Our traffic monitor was utilised by the Red Arches Residents to support motion for traffic calming measures to reduce speed. Thank you @hopkins_joan for this!

Thank you to @NewstalkFM for giving me the opportunity to talk about the importance of active travel to reduce traffic emissions. I'm piloting a bike library in schools to provide families with sustainable mobility options.

📢I'm proud to launch Dublin's first 'bike library' in Harold's Cross Educate Together Primary School! It's all about giving families an alternative to cars. This initiative is part of @ICHANGE_EU and @scienceirel, in collaboration with @BleeperActive. https://t.co/S1nuFtkD00

Dublin's first 'bike library' opens in Harold's Cross https://t.co/pFv9pP2oMi via @rte

[Francesco Pilla @f_pilla]

📢 we are getting ready to launch a new initiative to contribute to reduce traffic emission as part of our @ICHANGE_EU living lab in @DubCityCouncil.
Stay tune to learn more about how we are planning to drive the change in #ActiveMobility!

[Francesco Pilla @f_pilla]

📢My team will run a workshop focusing on designing together with children a greener Dun Laoghaire. We will be using #Minecraft to figure out how nature based solutions could reduce flood risk in the coastal areas.

I’m super excited about our new Smart Mobility Hub in St James Hospital with @BleeperActive!! These Hubs have limited impact if they are not integrated with public transport. This is why we are offering foldable bikes to commute with trains and buses; ebikes for work trips.
