- This is cycling in Copenhagen. No hi-vis. No helmet mandates. People cycle because it’s safe — by design. This is what cycling should look like. Ireland is moving in the opposite direction. Instead of designing safe places to cycle, we're blaming the people cycling...
- This is 100% applicable to Ireland.
- Copenhagen is far from perfect, but the Danes get a lot right. Dublin has the potential to truly “compete” with Copenhagen as a so-called 'perfect city', whatever that means. But right now, the Danes are living it, while those of us in Dublin are stuck with… well, very little. #ReimagineDublin
- “Irish educated engineers cannot be assumed to have an understanding of the literature, or practice of road design, around avoiding conflicts between motor vehicles and cyclists”. Based on my experience with Irish active transport infrastructure, I would agree with this statement.
- "While some parts of Dublin were turned into a cyclist’s dream under the last government, the capital still has a long way to go to meet Amsterdam or Paris in cutting car pollution." "A cyclist's dream" ⁉️ What a mad statement. There's nowhere in Dublin that's anywhere close to a 'cyclist's dream'.
