I BIKE Dublin
We are I BIKE Dublin. Formed in 2017 we’ve brought #PeopleProtected cycle lanes to people who #cycle in #Dublin.
It’s nice to see some friendly faces here on #mastodonie & to make new acquaintances also.
We had our most recent action on Harolds Cross Road & enjoyed a good local turn out whislt we kept people cycling, including families & commuters, safe from the usual obstruction of parked cars in their path. Have tried, unsuccessfully, to attach a picture to this post 🤷‍♂️ #FreeTheCycleLanes

Here’s one of the images that couldn’t be published earlier. It’s from our recent #PeopleProtected #BikeTooter lane in Harolds Cross. Thank you to everyone who came out in support.

@IBIKEDublin it's great to see but sad that it's necessary. I particularly dislike those little bollards. They need to be discontinued because so many drivers think they're just advisory

@Rorkimaru you're right. In fact it's often encouraged and that's why the stumpy orcas are deployed in some places. It's to allow them to be easily driver over which in itself is futile. #FreeTheCycleLanes #BikeTooter

@IBIKEDublin I remember well that damp morning in June 2017 when we first gathered on St Andrews Street in Dublin City. So much has improved on protected cycleways since then. There's still so much to do with still no real joined up network of segregated cyclelanes that would be safe to use for a 12 year old. Maybe #IrishMastodon could offer a new opportunity for organising like we collectively did on #IrishTwitter did 5 years back.
