Here in the Campaign we see cycling as not just a cheap and easy way to get around, but a simple, enjoyable, and life-changing choice that benefits both individuals and society in powerful ways. Here’s our awesome volunteer Niels on enjoying cycling with his son, and why he volunteers with us 1/3

Thanks @tinydonkey yes a little messy but we've seen instances where extremely close passes can be shown on helmet-cam footage by comparing dimensions of road with/ vehicle size etc. to passing distance. Mandatory distance would likely give a clear message of what's required of people driving.

Irish Cycling Campaign @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
@tinydonkey.bsky.social you're likely correct– overtaking that's seen as dangerous by a Garda member might be prosecuted as driving without due care. There's no distance specified in Traffic Acts but surely RSA recommendations would influence how a court would view an overtaking manoeuvre.

Why do folks get so worked up about compulsory helmets for bike users? We in ICC (& @ecf) are quite concerned about the near universal assumed efficacy of them against impact with a moving vehicle when one of the manufacturers (Giro) is on record stating that whereas www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...
