Coill Dubh - no cycle lanes or reallocation of road width - just example of bad drivers.
To Maynooth drivers - example of bad driving on regional road in Coill Dubh. No cycle tracks, no reallocation of road space but drivers unable to stay within the yellow lines.
Cars are getting bigger and heavier
They are more dangerous on the roads, take up more public space, and of course need more energy to move – which means more pollution
Any 'efficiency gains' in engines have been completely wiped out by massive cars

“Fossil fuels accounted for 81.4 per cent of overall Irish energy consumption last year, an increase of 0.7 per cent on 2023.”
Unless the increase in renewable energy is permanently displacing fossil fuels, it is not a climate transition.

When We Were Kings and Queens of the Road
Nostalgic lookback to growing in rural Ireland during the 1970s - from Robert Burns, Director of Services in Monaghan County Council

Irish media reporting on road collisions too often dehumanises victims and hides driver responsibility. Cyclists and pedestrians are people first — the language we use matters.
Read our full statement below.
Simple proposal — If your vehicle doesn’t fit in a parking space, it has to pay for two or more spaces.
Common sense, really. You knew when you bought the vehicle how big it was. Purchasing choices have consequences.
Bonus: If your vehicle is too long and extends over the sidewalk, that’s a fine.
We have just posted our September Newsletter. See below for details.

SUVs (not just oversized) endanger vulnerable road users.
Electric or fossil-fuel, they harm health and the environment.
They waste space and symbolise failed transport policy.
Our streets should be full of children and adults cycling, not clogged with SUVs.
SUVs don’t belong in our cities!
Let’s fuel health not harm #BanFossilAds

I've just signed this petition calling on the council to trial a Strand Road cycle path for 12 months. Will you sign too? my.uplift.ie/petitions/tr... @uplift-ireland.bsky.social
Even in rural Kildare,
Cycle + Public Transport = Mobility for All

Over 100 people cycled from the city centre along Strand Road and back this evening seeking a cycle path to be trialled on Strand Road after the Court of Appeal earlier today cleared all legal obstacles for that to happen:
Streets are the biggest public space in cities, yet decades of car-centric thinking has relegated them to nothing more than traffic sewers.
There is a movement spreading around the world to reimagine them from places to pass through into places to pass time.

Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy. Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t. Or both.
Maynooth Cycling Campaign strongly supports the statement from the Irish Cycling Campaign on the tragic death of a 6 year old in Galway.

To great uncertainty and controversy, in 2007, Ljubljana closed 12 hectares of its city center to private cars. At the time, 40% of residents approved.
A decade later, no less than 97% were against reopening the streets to motor traffic: “None of us can really imagine cars ever staging a comeback”.
The school run in Amersfoort, dozens and dozens of young children independently cycling to school in safety. Imagine the congestion if they all came by car!
One thing that is very noticeable in the Netherlands is the huge amount of elderly or people with mobility issues you see everywhere, all the time. The network of protected cycle tracks, low traffic neighbourhoods and car free streets gives these people so much freedom
In 1975 this is a large square with a very wide road going ahead. Today the square has been sectioned off altogether and separated from the road by a footpath and cycleway.

It is an oldie but goodie. Worth rewatching if feeling down!
