The intersection of Bridge Street and Cook Street, Dublin

There have been 139 submissions to the Dublin Inquirer Bicycle Collision Tracker map.

A pattern is emerging.

Willy Simon writes:

We’ve found an intersection in Dublin’s city centre that appears to be particularly dangerous for cyclists…There is a discernible cluster of reported incidents in the city centre, and it’s only a stone’s throw from Dublin City Council’s Civic Offices at Wood Quay. Two accidents have been reported at the intersection of Bridge Street and Cook Street, and three more just south of the intersection on Bridge Street Upper before it meets High Street….[details on how it can be improved at link below]

In this graduation short by Mehdi Louala, Geoffrey Godet, Nicolas Lejeune, Céline Hermann and Simon Legrand of the all-conquering French animation school Supinfocom, a giant blue man roams the surface of an alien planet, controlled by the robot chickens in his mind.

Now that’s a premise, right there.

Border Crossing

A good friend of mine Kevin Downey from Belfast is cycling around the world for the charity Depaul. He is nearly 1 year in and is currently tackling the harsh Alaskan terrain. He is on an amazing adventure and for such a worthwhile cause.

He began his journey from South East London on a fully laden bike with only his guitar for company. The ongoing cycle will see him circumnavigate the globe, tackling some of the harshest climates on the toughest of terrain. Living on a shoestring, it will be the generosity of locals and calculated risks that will see back in his hometown of Belfast in time for Christmas 2014.

Whilst he is on the move, you can also enjoy his new EP ‘Across the Border’. In return, he asks visitors to make a small donation online to his chosen charity Depaul.

A friend of mine Donal has undertaken a cycle across Europe to raise money and awareness for Acquired Brain Injury Ireland. The cycle itself is totally self funded, so all money raised is going straight to ABII.

He’s been on the road for less than a week now, and he is keeping a blog of his experience.

It would be great if you could maybe share it, and see can we get him some more followers.
