Would you like to walk across the Boyne viaduct in #Drogheda? Then come to our launch of the Boyne Skywalk on Saturday 19th in the Barbican. www.eventbrite.com/e/the-boyne-...

The Boyne Skywalk
For 170 years, the Boyne Viaduct has carried trains between Dublin and Belfast. What if it could carry people too?

if you've ever met a kid then you know they are predictably unpredictable so expecting them to behave perfectly is the most ridiculous approach to road safety - honestly just think about it.

how about instead of focusing our energy on teaching kids road safety we teach adults safe systems.

This has got me wondering - are any similar pro-cycling organisations in existence within Irish political parties? www.cfcw.org.uk

A reminder: Don't judge councillors on them being a cyclist or not, or saying they support something generally, judge them based on what projects and policies they are supporting:

The best kind of cycling infrastructure? An absence of car traffic. Any road or street without car traffic is usually a great place to ride a bike. This road outside Oslo has been permanently closed to car traffic. It’s one of my favorite places.

New analysis of relationship between car weight and fatal collision rates in the UK finds “ppl driving heavier cars are disproportionately involved in more fatal collisions”. Particularly the case for those involving other cars or pedestrians. Available here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
FIGURE 2: Average Annual Fatal Collisions per 1 Million Cars by Weight Category (2019-2023)

Key findings:

Lighter cars (500-1000kg) have the lowest fatal collision rates per million cars across all collision types, indicating a lower relative risk compared to heavier
cars.

As car weight increases, the number of
fatal collisions rises, peaking at 26.2 for
the heaviest cars (2001-2500kg)
suggesting a higher likelihood of
involvement in fatal collisions. This trend is consistent for Car-Car and Car-
Pedestrian collisions.

In Car-Bike collisions, lighter cars have
the lowest fatal collision rates per million cars, indicating they are less likely to be involved in fatal collisions with cycles compared to heavier cars, which show consistent fatality rates for cars in categories above 1001kg.
