...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...
...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.
Please try to respond to this if you can. It is one of the few occasions that we get to have some input on policy decisions for the future of cycling in this country.
Greenways are the future of recreational cycling and family cycling in this country.
Most roads are too busy and inhabited by a new generation of drivers who never cycled as children and have no clue about the rights of cyclists and /or a scant knowledge of the roadcraft required to share the road with cyclists of any age . Having said this we as cyclists cannot allow the roads to be owned by such people and should abide by the rules of the road, and not be put off reporting incidents of bad driving when they occur.
