Denmark responded to 1973 oil crisis by reducing car-dependency. Let's do that now. - Streetsblog Chicago "The government had to introduce car-free Sundays. And then people realized that the car-free Sunday was the best day of the week."

Galway councillor claims RSA messaging amounts to ‘victim blaming’ – ‘Children are not killed because of a lack of high-vis vests’ A Galway councillor has called for a “no confidence” vote and a major overhaul of the Road Safety Authority (RSA), claiming its education campaigns place responsibility on vulnerable road users rather...

“Children are not killed because they're not wearing high-vis vests. Children are killed because people are speeding, they are inattentive, they are drink driving, they're on their mobile phones, or the design of our roads is not appropriate.” Cllr Alan Curran

We Ask Everyone Outside Cars to Be Safe So Drivers Don’t Have to Be Or: How we traded kids’ freedom for drivers’ convenience

"We’ve designed cities where kids can’t safely walk or bike anywhere because everything is engineered around keeping cars moving quickly." @codysd.bsky.social 's post dives into some of the reasons that I push so hard for #bikebus, #kidicalmass, & safe and active routes to school.

Ronan recently trailed the use of one of our ecargo bikes and then went on to get his own one the result, magical memories like below on the school run. #ecargobikes #betterbyecargobike trial queries at Limerickecargobike@gmail.com

When asked how people like to travel, workshop participants cut car use by half: from 37% to 19% while bus use tripled. A great insight from the recent co-creation workshop on how conversations can shape smarter, greener mobility 🇮🇪 @cyclingincork.bsky.social @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social

‘Outdated thinking’: Cycling group responds to councillors’ comments over Dunboyne–Clonee Active Travel Project A cycling community group has said it is “disappointing” to see some councillors in the Ratoath Municipal District criticise the Dunboyne to Clonee Active Travel Links.

“If you want to get more people to make the move to active travel, you have to build safe, modern, connected networks."

Navan Cycling Initiative - spot on.

Thus is such a brilliant opportunity for Meath CoCo to avail of much sought after funding.

Graphic full of stats on vehicle inefficiencies.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?
