"Ebikes are insanely great technology. Cheap, rugged and reliable, they're basically bicycles that abolish hills. Once you've gotten accustomed to an ebike ..you'll never go back."
The mileage is great: 625 km per $1 (390 miles).

Any councillor admitting on the record that they struggle to see cyclists and pedestrians on the road is admitting that they are a danger to the public and not fit to drive, and their licences should immediately be suspended.

JD Vance is on a historic roll:

He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.

Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses.

Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.

Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Aggression of drivers and inconsiderate parking outside Dublin primary school causing ‘bedlam’, says worried principal A school principal has said it is “only a matter of time” before a child is knocked down outside her school.

We have been continously asking An Garda Síochána to prioritise routine enforcement around schools.

Principals' appeals are being ignored & children are put at risk.

Reckless behaviour around schools and where children play should not be tolerated.

One of the things that is so positive about the transformation of Paris is it was FAST. Converting a choked polluted city into a space for humans to thrive, move, and enjoy can be done within a decade. It’s within reach today: we just have to elect leaders that care about people more than cars.

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.”

#Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Concerns raised over emergency access following new Kildare cycle lanes - News - Kildare Nationalist The road has seen tailbacks in recent times

Isn't it funny how so many people act all concerned about emergency services when it comes to cycle lanes. Yet the actual emergency services don't have any concerns.

Funny how they are never concerned about motor traffic congestion impacting emergencies otherwise. Makes you think 😏

Cycling Linked to Lower Risk of Dementia, Study of Half a Million Finds Getting from A to B on a bicycle more often could reduce risk of dementia, possibly by protecting a part of the brain tied to memory functions, new research finds.

“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.”

Connecting bike-riding with reduced dementia risk. #UrbanTruth

‘Glacial’ pace of cycle lanes rollout in Louth needs more political will Louth County Council has been urged to up its game and start building cycling lanes around Drogheda.

Maybe more cycling study trips or education sessions needed across the country for councillors and TDs?

Many still clearly don't understand the function, impact & importance of safe cycling infrastructure & traffic calming measures.
