@ownohmanny I'm still waiting hopefully for a long protest line of #cyclists to ask for - demand - the closing of the gap in the Grand Canal Cycleway between Rathmines and Inchicore

When Paint Isn’t Protection
"The incident also highlights a core issue in #transportation planning: the limits of painted #bikelanes.
The #cyclists involved were riding in a designated #bikelane – exactly where they are supposed to be. But as the video makes clear, a painted line offers little defense against a driver willing to ignore it.
Advocates have long argued that preventing this kind of incident requires more than paint” https://cal.streetsblog.org/2026/03/31/viral-newport-beach-road-rage-incident-leads-to-arrest-highlights-limits-of-painted-bike-lanes

#Today, the last #Friday of March is #Criticalmass day in #Munich, 7 yrs since the citizen's vote to build a #bicycle ring road around the city centre and to make the city safe for #cyclists. While we've seen notable progress in 2025/26 we set all our hope into the newly elected #green #mayor #DominikKrause. Celebrate our new cycling mayor: Join the #bikeride by 6:30pm at the #BayrischeStaatsoper or 8pm at the #Bavaria monument or by @criticalmaps. @CriticalMass #cm @CriticalMassMuenchen

More people are killed on Australian roads.

"Deaths on Australian roads have increased every year since 2020. This is despite the Australian government’s commitment to Vision Zero – having zero deaths or serious injuries on our roads by 2050."

"Unfortunately, 1,317 road deaths were recorded in 2025, a 1.9% increase from 2024. Land transport accidents also remain a leading cause of death for children and young adults, and the third leading cause of injury hospitalisations." >>

Comments: To "look at the entire system of road use" one must not just have the car as the road user in mind but the entire mobility design and their associated industries. The focus should be on public infrastructure that enable active and safe mobility (walking and cycling) for all. "Good mobility design" does not kill, maim, pollute or leads to planetary heating.

The trailer is less than one meter wide. This width is allowed on #bike lanes all across Europe. How is the two-way "#bikelane" on this image legal!? #Cyclists are second class humans in #Zwentendorf #Austria. #eurovelo #unconstitutional #discrimination #bicycle

“Tempers flared in #NorthRichmond on Monday morning as #cyclists gathered to protest a controversial move to narrow bike lanes on a main thoroughfare and reintroduce 48 #CarParking spaces. The project, described by the #CityOfYarra #council as a “#GlowUp”, involves road resurfacing and the relocation of existing bike lane bollards between #HoddleSt and #ChurchSt...

“The work marks the end of a five-year trial of wide, protected lanes that have become a focal point of local political division.”

Mayor #StephenJolly defended the works on Monday, saying the current infrastructure was a “#BikeSuperhighway that’s not used that much”.

“It’s about sharing and not listening to just one interest group,” Jolly said. “These changes will make the bike lane the same width it is on #AlbertStreet that it continues from, while allowing locals #BetterAccess to their Buddhist Temple, homes and businesses and also get some parking back.”
