📢Bike people of Belfast📢
The organizers of Ballynafest are looking for a bike dock/stand that they could use this Saturday for those cycling to the event.
DM if you have anything that might suit ☺️
Ballynafest is a community festival in Ormeau Park: Sat Sept 2 from 2-5pm
Going in just now on Hardcastle Street. After years of asking it seems we are finally getting some proper protection for the infamous bike lane. 🙌 Hope it makes a difference!
Good to see DFI are starting to take cycling safety seriously and long may it continue !!
Hello Twitter!
Belfast finally has a cycle campaign group!
We need as many people who cycle (or want to) involved to push for connected, relaxed and safer streets for everyone across the city
Check out the website and mailing list to get involved

This is the man who says he saves up to £3,000 a year through a car club... and he wants to help plenty more Belfast residents do the same! 🚗

We give grants to buy cars with no questions asked but assistance to buy bicycles is only available to PAYE employees with participating employers. It also gives larger discounts to higher earners. It's not fit for purpose. See also Taxsaver tickets.

Pretty much sums up the impact on our children of a decades long policy of prioritising the storage of empty vehicles in our streets and public spaces.
@JulieACorr@Starling3232 We would have to disagree , its a beautiful spot which is a must see when visiting Belfast. So many cars make their way down this car sewer everyday and everybody loves cars so I don’t see what the problem is. Yeah it’s a little run down but nothing a lick of paint won’t fix.
A 5% yield plus expenses would generate a suggested rent of about £3000/yr for a £50k car parking space.
That's what we should be charging for car parking spaces, if we don't mean to be subsidising them.
Please send all of your pics of you enjoying the beautiful streets of Belfast by bike using #dyingforabikeride
Last year we had 2 broken legs , a fractured skull , sprained wrist and a dislocated shoulder.
We were ecstatic with last years outcome and hope for more of the same
