NEWS IN BREIF: Advocates with the Cork Cycling Campaign have called on Cork County Council to remove barriers on the Curraheen Greenway route, just inside the city’s boundary.

...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.

...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.
Do you ever get the impression that the powers that be would prefer that once a cycle route is opened that the proper thing to do is make it as arkward as possible for cyclists to use it.
