I BIKE Dublin thanks all of our many volunteers for helping create the awareness that has led to upgrades to cycle lanes at Westland Row, Camden Street Upper and Ranelagh village.
Since 2017, we’ve been creating “people-protected cycle lanes” at several locations across the city where people illegally park on cycle lanes.
In the last 3 days (6th May – 8th May), Dublin City Council have carried out quick-build physical segregation at the most popular locations for I BIKE Dublin actions. It’s another success story for I BIKE Dublin and follows previous successful interventions on Andrew’s Street, O’Connell Street, Alfie Byrne Road and Customs House Quay….
In fairness.

Great to see…though those Orcas are way too small to stop Entitled People from ignoring them and popping into the Centra “just for a minute” (including the guards getting their lunch). And taxi drivers who wait outside Pearse station on the off chance they’ll pick up a fare.
Is that the full height of them?
I know on Leeson Street, some of the higher poles, like in the first pic, were knocked by cars over time and removed.
This left the base behind, which while still being a deterrent to cars encroaching, have now become a trip hazard if crossing the road between cars.
Got a fix for that.
Cross at the lights.
Better fix: drastically reduce the numbers of cars.
Well done I Bike Dub!
Will Covid19 be our Stop de Kindermoord transformative moment?
Now all we need is for those stupid metal bollards to be taken off the paths on Dame St. / Lord Edward St.
Looking forward to the pavements being cleared of menacing and laughably dangerous cyclists who INSIST on cycling on our paths. Or is it only important and about safety when it’s cyclists who are the victims?

It is the cars that are crowding the cyclists and pedestrians on top of each other and poisoning them for good measure, though, that’s the facts.
And Dublin buses pump out fresh air and rose petals yeah?
Have you ever stood behind one of those thing in a white shirt as it took off?
One bus carries a lot more people than one car. Buses don’t even have to be pollution vomiting machines if your government buys them with an eye to public health and renewable energy sources. Or you could go with more trams. Lots and lots of trams.
Hopefully a congestion charge for motor vehicles will be used to improve the cycling infrastructure.
Fair dues.
