Our #SecondSpin Project came to life today when we collected the first three bikes Second Spin is all about keeping Teens who have been the victims of bike theft cycling, by providing them with a refurbished bike from our partners in the Rediscovery Centre #ActiveTravel #CircularEconomy #Upcycle

Great to see @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social 1st #SchoolStreet. Newbrook Rd. is a particularly busy residential street at school drop-off & pick-up times with 1,000 students accessing the 4 schools in the area. The cul de sac section of this street made it an ideal location to trial a School St.
