I am a largely sedentary person but my eye was caught by this number on my bike.

8661 km cycled since I got it. If I hadn’t had it, they would have been bus or taxi rides.

E-bikes are the magic wand for city traffic and transport.

Here’s a new leaked photo of the rumored Trek Fetch+ 4 cargo bike for the European market. It’s an alloy frame, Bosch Smart System Performance Line CX mid motor, Gates carbon drive, Enviolo heavy duty continuous gearing, Tektro hydraulic brakes, and Herrmans & Trelock lights. Total weight capacity is 250kg. #BikeTooter #cargobike #ebike

We had asked for the Mount Brown bus gate and other bus gates planned under BusConnects to be installed now to improve bus reliability and journey times. We're delighted to hear that Minister Ryan has asked the NTA to look at this. 🚍

Finally got fenders for my bike and rode in the rain for the first time and...what have I even been doing up until now?

All those days of wet shoes and pants. It didn't need to be that way!

MILAN has approved a £200 million plan to create a new 750km network of bike paths linking 80% of the city to bike paths, & connect the city to surrounding areas. The goal is to achieve a 20% modal shift to biking by 2035.
Strategy & leadership.

Typical city design conversation:

🚙: "I will drive whatever I want, wherever I want, whenever I want, as fast as I want, and there better be free parking when I get there"

🚲: "I want to get somewhere without dying."

🚗: "Cyclists are SO entitled."

I'm tired. 😑

There’s many people who cannot for various reasons walk or stand much, temporarily or permanently, but can cycle a standard, adapted, folding or cargo bike.

Best not to make assumptions based just on how people look or what they are cycling. There are many hidden disabilities.

I dont know how many people are aware of this but there is a direct action form of bike activism called "Critical Mass"

Basically once a month in 300 cities around the world, people get together and ride their bikes on roads.

This is all to advocate for better bike infrastructure and to push away cars for a bit.

If you live in one of those cities, go there ride around have fun and show that people care about biking

Who needs an SUV?

Between our two cargo bikes, we can transport 9 people and a lot of stuff, travel 200km on a single charge that costs just a few cents, and get our exercise all without clogging roads or spewing emissions.

And we can “drive” right up to our destination without worrying about parking.

Best of all, the bikes cost less than a few SUV payments.

Join us this Sunday, December 4th, in the Phoenix Park for our annual Santa Cycle!

See details below!

Start the Holiday season off in style! All Are welcome and there are selection boxes for the kids!

Starts at 1:45pm at Phoenix Monument on Chesterfield Avenue
