Cyclist (70s) dead following crash. 
Really dreadful. “This is the 75th road death in Ireland since the beginning of the year and the fifth cyclist to die on Irish roads.”
So our streets are safe Ministers Helen McEntee TD Jack Chambers TD?

We had lots happening here this week at Galway City Library as we celebrated all things bike-related for #BikeWeek 2024 . Thanks to all who helped make it such a successful week, especially our guest speakers, funders and audiences.

Hard to disagree with this take.

As things are anyone who is healthy enough and wealthy enough to drive is nudged to drive. Quality of life without a car is restricted. Things are upside down. Our planning system needs to refocus.

Another good canvass today. Great to meet a few supporters & new volunteers on the doors.

Transport was a big issue today. I'm meeting a lot of people who reluctantly drive in the city only because of the poor quality of the alternatives.

Great to see top sportsmen promoting sustainable travel. Excellent performance too!

Imagine a continuous bus lane all the way to Pearse Stadium or the Gateway Retail Park that the supporters could use.

Next weekend, imagine a continuous bus lane all the way to Pearse Stadium or the Gateway Retail Park that the supporters could use.

Safe Cycling Ireland 🇮🇪 An Garda Síochána Paula Hilman IrishCycle.com Simon McGarr @[email protected] This kind of judgement completely undermines the work of the Gardaí & vital evidence based safety messaging.

When the AGS are are facing this, you can see why they are proceeding with caution.

We had another positive meetinf with An Garda Síochána last week.
Thank you to Paula Hilman & the team for listening & acting on our concerns.
New Traffic Watch reporting system is in the pipeline along with other proactive measures to make our roads safer.

Thanks Ivana Bacik, Oireachtas All-Party Cycling Group and Irish Cycling Campaign for organising the BikeWeek Oireachtas Cycle.
Numbers of people using bikes for transport, even in the Oireachtas, keeps growing, and it's heartening to see the huge support among Senators and TDs for cycling.

Irish Cycling Campaign crew from far & wide.
What a brilliant weekend!

Great craic at the Leitrim Cycling Festival Festival this morning.
Cyclympics, Willow Games, Picnic Cycle, Bike Maintenance Workshop and it's not even midday yet!

Galway Cycling Campaign (Feachtas Rothaíochta na G People didn't much use it when it was 60kmph, since sections of the N6 dual carriageway now increased to 80kmph it's far more hostile. Left slip roads (especially at the Tuam Road )with cycle lanes in the centre are very dangerous. The motorbrain struggles with understanding this

Step by step these positive changes are coming. Keep up the good work.

Is de réir a chéile a thógtar na caisleáin!

Lovely morning in Galway with Mayor of Galway - Cllr. Eddie Hoare Cllr Frank Fahy as the new pedestrian crossing was officially opened on Wolfe Tone Bridge & we visited other active travel projects in the city centre with overall investment of over €4 million.

The Eglinton Canal is a model for active travel schemes. It's scenic and pleasant.

But fundamentally, motor vehicles can access large parts of it - it's just *through traffic* that is filtered.

So vehicle access is kept for those who may need it♿️🚚

And it fills with people!

Great to see the new Eglington Canal Active Travel Scheme and to open the pedestrian Wolf Tone Bridge with Senator Pauline O'Reilly, MEP Candidate today.

This new path will connect with the Moycullen Greenway - giving locals and visitors a beautiful green corridor along Lough Corrib. #Galway
