Irish Cycle Facility of the Week

March 16, 2015

The cycling infrastructure in Nenagh in Co Tipperary is of such high quality, it’s puzzling that the man on a bicycle pictured above decided to use the footpath.

...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

The image above shows how the cycle lanes in Nenagh are continuous. Expect, that is, when the cycle paths meet anything that would have required more than painting road markings lines to fit the cycle lane in.

...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
