Leuven might be the best cycling city you’ve never heard of. 37% of trips are by bike; not by accident, but by years of rethinking streets, reducing car dominance and recirculating traffic. While the large capitals attract most headlines, Leuven is another example of a small city making big moves.

Waterford, Ontario, is a really pretty town to wander.

This week's #TidyTuesday maps shipwrecks off Ireland, from the Wreck Inventory of Ireland Database Code: github.com/gkaramanis/t... #RStats #dataviz
A map titled "Shipwrecks off Ireland" showing the island of Ireland on a blue sea shaded by depth. Thousands of dark red dots mark recorded shipwrecks. They cluster most densely along the east and south coasts and in the north, thin out along the west coast, and continue as a sparse, widely spaced scatter far out into the Atlantic. A pale hatched band marks Ireland's maritime boundary, curving out to the west and south. The seas are labelled in italics: Atlantic Ocean to the west, Irish Sea to the east, Celtic Sea to the south. Ports are marked with star symbols and labelled: Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Shannon Foynes and Rosslare, with Derry (Foyle Port) and Greencastle in the north. A callout box in the lower right points to a wreck east of Dublin and reads: "RMS Leinster, 1918. Torpedoed by the German submarine UB-123, she sank with the loss of more than 500 of those aboard, the Irish Sea's worst single loss of life. The wreck now lies buried in sand about 25 metres down."

The plastic bollards on Manor Street, Waterford weren't perfect, but did provide a small degree of protection for cyclists. Dear @waterfordcouncil.bsky.social please reinstate the recently removed infrastructure on this busy route linking SETU and the city centre. @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social
