Lovely day for a walk

When you see it laid out like this you have to wonder how could this have been allowed to happen? Did the UK electorate collectively bump their head on the voting booths? (And still people 'back Boris').

More NIMBYism against active travel. This time raising safety concerns.... Meanwhile these estates are hemmed in by a traffic sewer which pretty much forces people into a car. #Ballincollig @CorkCommuter


Incredible footage. Amazing it's just off the coast of West Cork too.

Humpback #whale bubble net feeding 150m from shore near Tragumna #WestCork. I'm blown away by bubble net feeding, every time I see it. What an absolute privilege to capture it from above like this. AMAZING! #Cork #Ireland @corkbeo @irishexaminer @IrishTimes @rtenews @HughHarrop



Can't say no to that.

Staggering that this is acceptable and the 'official line' of an important body like the @TheHSA the quotes from this official are unreal. #cycling #ActiveTravel @IrishCycle @roadcc


Hhmmm. Great new store for @lidl_ireland in #Ballincollig. Shame the cycling parking isnt being taken care of. It's close to the entrance and covered up but large trolleys being dumped there make it unusable.

Thanks @LEGO_Group. Great customer service. Faulty part on my son's latest but a quick and easy replacement. One very happy son. #lego

Travelled up to the office today in Dublin from Cork. There were fresh doughnuts so that was nice.. @TheRollingDonut, would have taken a pic but too late....


Mark is an old friend. He got into cycling for his health and really connected with it. The circumstances of this incident are horrific. The driver fell asleep, the vehicle launched off the armco and came down on Mark in the cycle lane. He is a fighter but needs help #cycling

For those that know Mark, aka TDJ, one of our super long-time community members - Mark was involved in a bicycle accident recently and is in quite a bad shape. More info here: londonbikers.com/t/for-all-that…



Shout out to the man who, whilst on RTE1 Liveline, said he was sorry for the background noise as his parrot was being bold....#liveline

Bit of a chilly one @BallincolligRFC tonight.

Ballincollig Regional Park looked great this morning. The Lee had a fairly robust flow over the broken weir. You'd wish the council would fix it.

It is easy to forget how God awful Main Street was when it was configured like that. A hostile environment for anyone not in a car. A nice timely reminder @conndonovan9

I hate to ruin your Thursday but this thread is grim reading if you are looking for better transport solutions for everyone in Cork. The worry here is this is just what @conndonovan9 thought of initially so bound to be more....

And I thought Blackbird would be the funniest film put on general release yesterday. Then along comes this self own...

Thank you for this video that highlights exactly how unsafe Coolroe Meadows can be for pedestrians and cyclists. All the more proof that a redesign is needed.
