If you have an opinion I’d love to hear it. With your permission I’d love to include your thoughts as a quote in my email to Dublin City officials.

Meanwhile…

If these lanes are not protected there’s not a I’ve vides chance in hell they will be respected. Ranelagh has cycle lanes now and they’re parked on all the time.

Unless theses new lanes are physical protected they will be parked on and blocked. https://t.co/AnnE6g6LiP

This afternoon.

New cycle lanes taking one lane of the road from Blackrock Village (top) through to Sandycove (above)

New restrictions mean that motorists can no longer drive towards Dun Laoghaire from Blackrock Village and can no longer drive through Blackrock Village from Dun Laoghaire.

So there.

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.

Q: "Why don't more kids in Ireland cycle to school?" A: Complete indifference by the motorist towards cycle infrastructure means its just too dangerous to; a self fulfilling prophecy. Colaiste Choilm, Ballincollig this morning pic.twitter.com/wj4YHkdaJ8

Hey @GardaTraffic Should I have run of couple of red lights to see if that was safer than getting pushed in front of a bus by your van this morning? @dublincycling pic.twitter.com/i1UxjdEbky
