Out for a mooch about Bilbao on a bike from our hotel this morning before it gets incredibly hot! A national guard sized effort to clean the streets after the first night of a city wide festival (street party). It was already looking pretty spotless by 0930h. Roads swept. Pavements and cycle…

@bedform.org Clearly a biased sample as it will only be cyclists wearing hi viz & helmets but not wearing earphones that these drivers will notice breaking rules It’s such a surprise these interventions are required given their association to such wickedness!!

@opwireland.bsky.social, its Ministers & officials gaslight citizens. Since the alleged introduction in 2022 of park wide 30kph speed limits they have done zero to enforce or allow enforcement of the speed limits. @garda.ie are unable to prosecute speeding as govt failed to pass correct legislation.

Given the number of brave bollards that die in the line of duty along cycle tracks, when drivers just have to go straight… I’m not sure a chicane is a good idea - far too advanced?!?!

Are drivers this bad cos Pearse St @garda.ie won’t prosecute Traffic Watch reports? He blasted his horn not to warn but to intimidate. Was eating a bag of chips. Had a car full of kids. Was in a Bus lane… In such a hurry but had time to argue. Passed at the traffic lights on the bridge!

@dubcitycouncil.bsky.social need to give their head a wobble if they believe the slalom provides ‘little impediment to a cyclist travelling at a normal speed’. They’ve designed in conflict… It seems an engineering solution has been prioritised over enforcement when BSOs are an issue?!?

@garda.ie have a woeful track record for prosecuting Dangerous Overtaking of a Cyclist (2019) Approx 24/year They skilfully use aggravating factors to mitigate actions of dangerous drivers

Who audits actual cycle lanes sweeping v planned? Some of @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social lanes are more like gravel tracks posing a puncture and skid risk - simply unfit for use This one at Parkgate St is appalling @pidgeondublin.bsky.social @janetphorner.bsky.social @feljin.ie

An unintended consequence of adding bollards following a collision involving a LUAS & a car entering the tram lane to overtake a bus at this bus stop is that it makes Naas Rd even more hostile to anyone brave enough to cycle @irishcycle.com @dublincycling.bsky.social @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social

24 prosecutions per year for Dangerous Overtaking of a Cyclist (2019) Not very many is it? In my experience @garda.ie are hostile and proactively block investigating Traffic Watch reports Half of DMR don’t routinely investigate TW reports

You have to laugh (or cry) at the attempt to celebrate an inaccessible Greenway ‘To mark the recent completion of this inaccessible and inequitable infrastructure project we’re having to exclude children and anyone riding anything other than a standard cycle’

WI sound like a kid pretending they’ve done their homework when really they haven’t & are bluffing with lie after lie in order to save face - achieving the exact opposite! They go on to say, ‘we have accessibility plans and will implement them unless it means the pub can’t have its tables’

3Es are needed for road safety (Re)Engineering takes time Enforcement is key and has an effect to educate and deter others Education is important, but how much of the impunity drivers feel is due to low knowledge vs zero enforcement?AGS/RSA will soon start the next holiday pleading campaign…
