[Wee Greenway Initiative @GreenwayPlease]

We were visiting the #WaterfordGreenway 2day. Walking several kms out of #Dungarvan & then having lunch in the #RailwayCottage on r return. Not only was it very busy, but most of the users were local people. Tourists should be a bonus for greenway infrastructure, not the reason.

🚶‍♂️🚗 Did you know? 5% of pedestrians struck by a vehicle travelling at 30km/h will be killed, but 90% of pedestrians struck by a vehicle travelling at 80km/h will be killed. Slowing down saves lives.

The true cost of our car-centric transport system is almost beyond our imagination.

@OceanFmIreland Do the candidates agree that funding for active travel and public transport should be prioritised over road building.

[Sligo Cycling @SligoCycling]

#GE24 asks from @cyclistie: Lots of key words there to agree with! #SafePublicSpaces #RapidBuild #HighQuality #SRTS 3 Sligo based Candidates have joined in our events. @FrankFeighan @Marie_Casserly @CosgroveNessa How about Leitrim @CyclingLeitrim ?

Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Putin since late 2022.

At one point, Putin asked him to avoid activating his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Big @WSJ scoop: https://t.co/NUgcDtkzkR

[Green Party Ireland @greenparty_ie]

Last week we whizzed by a massive new milestone.
Now every day over 1 million journeys are made using our public transport network!

We wish we had better news. But as of now, #MarcellusWilliams is still scheduled to be executed by Missouri tonight at 6 p.m. central for a crime he is totally innocent of. ⁠

Don’t stop sharing his story. It’s not too late to save an innocent life.⁠ https://t.co/eofSDX66tC

@tggleeson I agree 100%, it would make such a difference in Sligo if we had accurate tracking.

[Tom @tggleeson]

Again I note, to make these sparse rural networks successful they need to provide live tracking as a priority (all will already be sharing their position with their respective controllers). Knowing if the next bus is cancelled on a <10 minute route is nice on these it's essential

[Una L'Estrange @UnaLEstrange]

@BikeDeansgrange @dlrcycling @Deansgrangeplay Well done for persistance. It is wonderful to see.

[Michael Pidgeon @Pidge]

Bizarre how misallocated road space is in cities. Plenty of work to be done.

[KidicalMassReading @KidicalMassRead]

I need your help. 22 Sept is #safestreetsnow and #rdguk wants to do this. Does anyone know the group that did this and happen to have the bamboo car design they could share….

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

Today I met with officials in Helsinki, which has had a ~75% drop in road deaths over the last thirty years (including recent years with no ped/cyclist deaths at all).

Me: “How much of a role has IT played in reducing crashes?”

City official: “Zero. We simply slowed down cars.”

Good sleep is a superpower.

2. Coronary Artery Disease
3. Increased Weight
4. Insulin Resistance
5. Increased Hunger
6. Increased Dementia Risk

Get Sleep Right.

Get Everything Else Right.
