Very encouraged by Labour's plans for 'unprecedented levels of funding' in cycling and walking as outlined in this The Guardian article by @Laura_Laker who spoke to Transport Secretary Louise Haigh recently. buff.ly/4dRETtg

Responding to Transport Secretary Louise Haigh's commitment that the government will invest “unprecedented levels of funding” in cycling 🚲 and walking🚶as a critical part of plans to improve health and inequality, Sarah McMonagle, director of external affairs at Cycling UK, said:

Minister O’Dowd met with Cycling UK today to discuss the importance of working together to deliver cycling infrastructure across the North that is as safe and inclusive as possible. At the meeting, the Minister and Cycling UK discussed a range of issues including road safety and

“British Camp won’t exist eventually as every time people go with bikes there is further damage” Councillor calls for signage to deter cyclists at historic landmark after being abused for pointing out no cycling zone to mountain bikers road.cc/content/news/n…

Well #cycling around #Dublin was an interesting 🤔 experience, taxi driver telling me bicycles aren't allowed in bus lanes... So I pointed out the bicycle symbol on the bus lane signs!

Proper train with proper cycle storage 👍 Translink Iarnród Éireann 🙂👇

Our letter to Translink regarding the urgency of installing cycle parking at the new Grand Central station

Cycle parking should never be an afterthought, it should be integral with how people interact with public transport. Translink the new station needs to encourage people to consider all alternative transport options asap Happy to engage on temporary pop up solutions

For a reality check, the 2011 Programme for Government’s key committment was to: “create the conditions to facilitate at least 36% of primary school pupils and 22% of secondary school pupils to walk or cycle to school as their main mode of transport…” by 2015.

CYCUL© But who are they accountable to? In all other places where politicians don’t live up to promises they get voted out. In NI, they get a slightly different role at the executive next time around and the cycle continues.

Well the new Northern Ireland Assembly Programme for Government makes some references to active travel and sustainable travel but is otherwise quiet on wheeling and walking as modes of transport needing investment here, so lots for us to push on Sustrans in Northern Ireland Cycling UK Northern Ireland 😕👇

Great to be in Bangor today 😍 thanks to everyone who helped and came to talk to us about the group

Now this is what I call a cycling strategy 😍🚵 Department for Infrastructure 👇 bicyclensw.org.au/future-transpo…

Here’s the £2.6M “active travel” (AT) project on Clooney Rd. • It doesnt pass any schools, shops, or houses. • It won’t increase walking or cycling in the area. • It won’t improve DFI’s abysmal record on AT. • It only helps improve their Climate Act spending figures.

CYCUL© And you'll get motorists driving by tutting to themselves and moaning, no one's using the cycle lane 🤯

As someone who cycles to Queen's University Belfast 🎓 most days and sometimes drives, this baffles me. Most students should be making choices that do not require the expense of a car. If you drive, don't assume you get to leave your car at the front door. There are car parks.

CYCUL© My heart bleeds for the poor, entitled students. Why are there so many driving to uni and expecting parking to be provided for them? I never had a car when I was at uni - it was buses and walking everywhere.

Are you a member of a cycling advocacy group? National body Irish Cycling Campaign want to hear from you. What's different now in your own life, in your community, in Ireland, as a result of #cyclingadvocacy? Post your answers via link on here--cyclist.ie/2024/11/irish-…

This #motornormativity is the problem, if more chose #activetravel we wouldn't need to turn our streets into car parks and clog up our roads with traffic, more parking is not the answer... Belfast university students missing lectures with lack of parking bbc.com/news/articles/…
