Anna Barrero @annabarrero.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Another morning on the way to University of Limerick. Cars barely moving. Time lost in traffic. And somehow, we have accepted this as normal. It does not have to be. Dare to choose differently. Choose cycling. 🚲 1118143

Anna Barrero @annabarrero.bsky.social · 23/02/2026That’s how the “mandatory hi-vis for cyclists” in Ireland feels. Fluorescent clothing won’t fix unsafe roads. It shifts responsibility onto the person on the bike instead of addressing the real issue: poor road design and lack of protected cycle lanes. We need safer infrastructure 🚲 010

Anna Barrero @annabarrero.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Pedestrians and cyclists (those curious creatures who produce no emissions) already enjoy a grand total of about two advantages compared to cars. One of them is supposed to be priority at zebra crossings. Supposed to be. 110
