Every 48 hours someone dies on Irish roads โ not because they failed, but because we did. Writing in the @Independent_ie today on behalf of our 26,000 @CyclingIreland members and all vulnerable road users. We need to rethink road safety in Ireland. m.independent.ie/opinion/commenโฆ
Excellent article from @CyclingIreland president @ciarancannon ๐ โOur entire road-safety discourse centres on the vulnerable road-user taking extraordinary steps to stay alive in a hostile environmentโฆโ independent.ie/opinion/commenโฆ

Writing in the @Independent_ie this morning about the urgency of implementing a road safety strategy that can save lives on Irish roads. 91 people dead so far this year and hundreds more left with life changing injuries. Where is the courage and leadership we need to see?

Cycling Ireland is saddened to hear of the passing of long term member Craig Sweetman, father of recent Junior Tour stage winner Toby Sweetman. Our thoughts are with the entire Sweetman family at this difficult time.
Will we see something like this for the Wexford General ๐ฅ roundabout ๐ค
Folks please get your whole family and anyone you can to support this. ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ CLOSES TODAY ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ irishcycle.com/2025/07/15/dlrโฆ
A road sign from France. ๐ซ๐ท Car drivers: ๐ซต stay behind bicycle riders - no overtaking. Would some roads in #Wexford be suitable for this type of rule?

Hey @hooklighthouse Would you consider changing these โwheel-benderโ type bicycle racks for something more suitable? We think that Sheffield Stands would be a much better offering for this space ๐

Think you know the rules for e-scooters on Irish roads? Riders must be at least 16 years old and are limited to 20km/h, staying off footpaths, and having proper lights and a warning bell. For the full set of rules, see RSA.ie #Escooter #RoadSafety
If youโre in the market for an e-bike, please choose wisely.
It was good to talk on BBC Breakfast this morning about what's driving the rise in fake ebikes in the UK. Food delivery app firms need to take responsibility for the risks their business practices are creating and be held to account for ending it
Why tackle driver behaviour, enforce the law, or invest in infrastructure when you can just force school kids to dress like theyโre working the night shift on a motorway? All for being lit up like a Christmas tree at night but during the day ๐๐๐ irishcycle.com/2025/07/05/td-โฆ
Where in #wexford will you find this sign?

Motorists break the law to save time, cyclists break the law to save their life. Anyone who uses a bicycle for transportation understands this is true.
