Bike thieves, over-zealous policing, the bike lanes to nowhere and getting called “the spawn of the devil”.

Banter is hosting ‘On Yer Bike’ a FREE and timely debate next Wednesday on why Dublin treats cyclists as if they were circus freaks.
A myth-puncturing panel will include Damien Ó Tuama (National Cycling Coordinator for Cyclist.ie), Anne Bedos (Rothar) and Dublin City councillor Rebecca Moynihan.
Banter’s Jim Carrol writes:
Despite the huge take-up of the Dublin Bikes scheme and the increased number of cyclists on the streets (streets, as opposed to footpaths) thanks to the Cycle to Work scheme and other iniviatives, cycling continues to be seen as a minority interest. Are cyclists really the villains some paint them to be or are we overlooking what pedal power can do for transforming the city?
FIGHT!

This morning, whatever you say,
Remember to go all the way,
Wear a patch and a hook,
To get the right look,
As it’s Talk Like A Pirate Day
