"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."

‘Outdated thinking’: Cycling group responds to councillors’ comments over Dunboyne–Clonee Active Travel Project A cycling community group has said it is “disappointing” to see some councillors in the Ratoath Municipal District criticise the Dunboyne to Clonee Active Travel Links.

“If you want to get more people to make the move to active travel, you have to build safe, modern, connected networks."

Navan Cycling Initiative - spot on.

Thus is such a brilliant opportunity for Meath CoCo to avail of much sought after funding.
