The last census showed only

9 teenage girls cycled to school in cork and only 8 in Limerick

Why the gender differential?

TSG/it’s attitude to gender is Stone Age.

Ok guys. Don’t be so flippant

Trending up or down?

Amazing how you know what idiot makes these threads before even looking.

Cycling just ain’t cool with the kids anymore.

But but I’m representative of people on bikes

Disgusting seeing the motor car rise

Cool my arse, bad parenting.

Surprising to see buses on the decline as well.

That was out of 10

The helmets make it a serious pain in the hole I’d say. I cycled to school every single day but don’t think I’d have bothered if I had to lug around a helmet wit me.

Lance Armstrong has a lot to answer for

Was in leafy South County filling my boots with townie money. Super day.

Couple of nice things I noticed.
Reduction in speed limit to 30km/h is great.
The amount of cyclist out & about was a beautiful sight.

Only worrying feature on display from the vast amount of cyclists on show was the lack of helmets. This is very worrying considering the amount of cagers who refuse to slow down, give cyclist space and just a general lack of awareness of the world around them.

Could you have a word with the powers that be?

Also, lovely to see @briantinnion in his 211 reg Telsa. He took off from traffic lights at F1 levels of speed, really impressive acceleration from those cars.

off road lanes is the best thing

yep, im torn on this, i can see the argument not to wear one but i would always wear one

cagers are more aggressive when they see a helmet

Some of the driving I witnessed today was scary.
