Eric Branse-InstoneJust come across this campaign organisation for 20mph limits in urban areas.
Joan of Contention 😷Question for #Rothar and #BikeTooter peeps: are there any examples from anywhere of cycling advocates successfully pushing back against/overturning policies to make helmets and high viz mandatory in law?

@spillanemike the very same nonsense spouted by lobbyists and certain councillors in Dublin a few years back, too - in a city where rush-hour traffic is persistently sub-10km/h, twice a day, every day.
Absolute bollocks.

Rest assured that in Ireland, you can do whatever the fuck you want behind the wheel of a car, and get away with it.
Perpetrate a hit-and-run on an elderly man, leaving him with life-changing injuries?
Off you go, son - sure, you're the real victim here:

⚠️ PSA for anyone walking or cycling near Doyle's Corner/Phibsboro Shopping Centre:
Serious incident involving a van vs. a man on a bike or motorbike.
Emergency responders on scene (DFB: two appliances and crew); all inbound traffic lanes closed, motor traffic attempting to manoeuvre around the scene via adjacent traffic and bus lane.
Take care in the area.

@spillanemike The Council removing signs in gardens/on property is trespass - hopefully those people will sue.
Otherwise, by its own logic, the Council can take it upon itself to enter homes and remove posters hanging inside windows.

kimuNeighborhood block party for Parking Day and opening of a new parklet by the cupcake shop. I managed to get zero photos of the official parklet, but got one of a student-designed and built temporary one. We really wanted to set up a mini parklet on our block but the approval process (described as “streamlined” by the city) involves a lengthy permitting process and something like $700 in fees. Anyway, it was a nice celebration! #TacticalUrbanism #StreetsAreForPeople
Road deaths in Ireland are decreasing - but more people are being killed while walking and cycling. Why?
