Modern cargo bikes don't replace bicycles, they replace cars. If you haven't ridden since childhood, the capability will shock you.

Groceries are the perfect gateway errand for daily mobility. The bikes are ready. We just need the infrastructure.

6 years on since the Covid-19 lockdowns started in Ireland.

Its amazing how people as a whole and the media has effectively wiped the memory of such a big event.

Given Dublin has a much, much, MUCH smaller population then London or any of the other cities, this is not a good look for Dublin.

Dublin is not safe.

Charge them more to drive, charge them more to park.

If you take up more room when parking it makes sense you pay more.

But Cian think of the impacts on employment!

If foxes kill rodents, what about the hard pressed Pest Control companys that create employment in the economy?
What about the chemical companys that make the poison?

Woman dies and three seriously injured in second fatal road incident in Meath today Earlier this morning, a man was killed in a collision involving a truck and a van on the M3 at Dunshaughlin.

Another day in Ireland and that means its another road death.

We try nothing to change this and we're all out of ideas.

Spotted the guy on the rubbish truck yesterday skimming through a neighbours recycle bin for drink cans and bottles the neighbour was foolishly throwing away.

I have no problem with this as once you throw away stuff is fair game to others, hope the guy makes a fortune every day.

Also, In mitigation, he said the company had no previous offences, had co-operated with the department’s inspectors and was part of the wider Coolmore group.

But yet, served prohibition notice in Oct but they ignored it and removed more in 2023.

How is that co-operating? πŸ™„

Story really does have some pure comedy lines.

Corbett, Coolmore’s sustainable agriculture manager. This concluded that β€œCoolmore is a biodiverse haven for nature”.

How can the guy say that with a straight face, most of their land is grass fields. Thats the furthest thing from a biodiverse haven.

Peat exports increased last year despite crackdown on commercial extraction More than 370,000 tonnes of material sold to 21 different countries in 2025, including Israel

Many in Ireland shake their heads at other countrys when those countrys destory parts of the enviroment that can NEVER be replaced or restored.

Ireland does the same and there's an awful lot of silence.

Coolmore asks not to be hit with maximum €250,000 fines for destroying historic hedgerows Coolmore says it was unaware of the law requiring it to seek approval for removal of more than 500m of hedgerows and that breach of prohibition was an error

Fine them every single cent, they didn't care about the law.

Man pleads guilty over hit and run that caused deaths of married couple on Stephen's Day in 2024 John Halpin pleaded guilty today at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court

Will the far right in Ireland comment and protest about this driver who killed people?

Because you can be 100% sure they would if he wasn't white and had a foreign looking name.

Boy dies after being hit by car at Dublin shopping centre A three-year-old boy has died after being struck by a car in an underground car park at a shopping centre in north Dublin.

A family that will never ever be the same ever again and another Irish news story that makes zero reference to any driver.

We seem to have a country of self driving cars.
