Ginnekenmarkt, Breda in 1974 and today
The top image shows a cobbled square packed with parked cars on all sides, including a Mercedes, a Fiat 500 and a Ford, surrounded by metal railings. Patches of cobbles have been dug up around a central stone water pump. Today the same square, now a packed café terrace. Rows of wicker chairs and tables fill the space where the cars once stood, with people eating and drinking under large furled umbrellas. Mature trees with golden autumn leaves shade the square, and the same stone water pump still stands at the centre.

The most successful cities of the future will be the ones that invest in public spaces that prioritize the human experience over that of the car's convenience.

One of our members noticed that Ford Motors in Cork was illegally parked and spoke to the personnel. If you see a vehicle parked illegally, you can report it to a traffic warden on 021 492 4382. @cyclingincork.bsky.social @badparkingcork.bsky.social

If you can't walk or bike to a playground, then you are starting a child's day by limiting their freedom. These spaces should be the sources of childhood independence, which is instantly erased when every trip requires a back seat and a seatbelt.

Bike parking enabling 60 hospital staff to cycle to work is a win for the taxpayer
Comment & Analysis: A cost of €85,000, or €1,416 per space, for a secure bicycle shed for the National Maternity Hospital is cheap compared to building car parking, which is estimated to cost €5,000 to €85,000 per space in 2025. Added to this are the health benefits of staff cycling to work, including the general finding that active commutes mean fewer sick days (sources: …

Irish Cycling Campaign seeks candidates for its membership development officer
Irish Cycling Campaign, via An Taisce, is seeking to employ a membership development officer. The closing date for receipt of applications is 23:59 on Friday, August 21, 2026. Irish Cycling Campaign, an umbrella group of most of the larger cycling campaigns in Ireland, and An Taisce, an environmental charity, are two independent charities that say they work closely together. The reason for An Taisce's involvement in this role is that the cycling campaign uses it for its human resources structures.

I originally started filming Utrecht because of its cycling infrastructure. Looking back over seventeen years of footage, I realised I have documented something much bigger: the transformation of an entire city. Blog, video and playlist:

Utrecht: Seventeen Years of Change
When I first started filming in Utrecht in 2009, I had no idea I would still be documenting the city seventeen years later. Looking back through my archive, I realised how well I can show just how much has changed during that time. Few cities transform overnight, but Utrecht has changed remarkably in less than two decades.

The Netherlands Railways (NS) have rolled out a €49 monthly ticket for unlimited train travel nationwide. Good transport policy is not about one mode winning over another. It is about building a system where walking, cycling, public transport and shared mobility work together.

The Dutch mobility system isn't just built around cycling. It's built around bike-train intermodality: cycling solves the train's convenience problem and the train solves cycling's range problem. Together, they offer an attractive alternative to driving on a mass scale. WATCH: youtu.be/jq93DgLvmFc
