Dear @rte, I noticed quite a few typos in your article last week. I took the liberty of correcting them. Here is the revised version: tinyurl.com/y4j9w2we Kind regards, Cécile #andshecycles @GreenSchoolsIre @GalwayCycling @MheithealRothar @GalwayUrban @cyclistie

@Flyck66 @FHmediastuff @GalwayCityCo Good on you that you never used your bike as mobility aid, but you don't have to ignore people who do. #ableism

@FHmediastuff @GalwayCityCo I can get my bike through this gate. It’s never been a problem.

@FHmediastuff @EamonRyan @GalwayCityCo Not to mention GAA, hurling, soccer... People train outside rain or shine, all year round (and in shorts!).

I've never had so many visibility equipment, yet felt so invisible... Tuam rd, Monivea rd, Headford rd are so unnecessarily scary to cycle. If only the will was there, not sexy enough I guess ... @AlanCheeversFF @mike_mjcrowe @acurno @GalwayCycling

@McNiffecent @AccessForAll7 Sorry not Irish by French... The company was started by a lady for her brother, hopefully they can ship! (and you can ask me for any translation you may need) constantetzoe.com

Is anyone aware of a company, pref Irish who specialise in adaptive clothing? I’m looking for a jacket for my son, a wheelchair user & warm but not bulky. He is very small for his age 18 but a 7-8 size but he is quite wide but very short. Impossible to get a jacket to fit. 😓

@suadarra I'm so sorry Suad, I can't imagine how tough that feels... And thank you for sharing...so many families suffering in silence 💔

For Baby Loss Awareness Week, here is my story of losing a twin pregnancy. Hoping this topic echoes for a bit longer than just a week. Maybe for the next International Women's Day, we can take action for women instead of coming up with a new power pose or a trendy hashtag.🎗️

@Dept_Transport @EamonRyan @jackfchambers @RSAIreland @merrionstreet In the meanwhile, @GalwayCityCo just increased some speed limits to 60 and 80 km/h on urban settings, in locations where pedestrians have been hit in the past @EamonRyan

📢 Last week, the Speed Limit Review was published This aims to address the inconsistency of speed limits on roads all over the country Consistent and appropriate speed limits across the road network will contribute to increasing road safety 👉🔗 gov.ie/en/press-relea…

@EamonRyan They increased some speed limits in Galway, in particular at a location where a pedestrian was hit a couple of weeks ago 😢

Government has agreed to reduce default speed limits on rural & urban roads. Speed kills. A pedestrian hit by a car going at 50kph has a 15% chance of survival, which rises to 85%. at 30kph. There’s a similar difference for a driver in a head on collision at either 100 or 80 kph.

A new 30km/h speed limit applies in the inner city zone from 28 August 2023. 🚗 You can view full details of the changes (Special Speed Limit Bye-Laws No. 1, 2023) at GalwayCity.ie

@Buseireann @OkeeffeLynn @ciarancannon There is a very simple solution actually: put more regular buses 😉

@OkeeffeLynn @ciarancannon Hello Lynn, we apologise sincerely for this inconvenience. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done if the bus is full. We advise pre purchasing a ticket online and making a seat reservation to pre book a seat. Kind regards, SOT

@EamonRyan Galway - Cork? Galway - Waterford? Galway - Sligo? Galway - Belfast? Have you heard of the principle of connecting bigger cities between themselves ? Just a baseline in other countries...

In the 1920s, Ireland had one of the best rail networks in the world. We're reviving that network with: 🛤️ new lines for people and freight 🕘 half hourly frequencies 🚅 higher speeds ⚡️ electrification 🤝 all island approach 🔗gov.ie/en/press-relea…

@WaShQureshi @GreenwayPlease @LeTour @BikeCommutingIE @countykerry @EamonRyan @TFIupdates @Dept_Transport @deptinfra @donegalcouncil @dcsdcouncil @prazdelysommand It's a standard in all France. You have at least a pedestrian crossing at each street/road junctions + any main pedestrian paths. There is no comparison with Ireland.

@GreenwayPlease @LeTour @BikeCommutingIE @countykerry @EamonRyan @TFIupdates @Dept_Transport @deptinfra @donegalcouncil @dcsdcouncil @prazdelysommand This is just one town that have this. The rest of France is not any better than Ireland.

This is #Tanignes, France. It's the start of today's stage in @LeTour. It is a town of 3,000 people, swelling in numbers during the summer months. Look at the number of designated pedestrian crossings on only ONE road. Name an Irish city or town where you'd see similar.

@sina_ahm Oh my god! What an awful news 😢

I am deeply shocked and saddened to hear the devastating news that Thierry Declerck has passed away😢His presence and compassion were a true blessing in our projects and many events that brought us together. His memory will forever remain in our hearts. 📷Schloss Dagstuhl - 2019

After our walk to Cong, I wanted to tell participants which direct bus they can take from Galway if they want to go back. I found there was one back in 2018 on Saturdays (better than nothing...) Nowadays? Nothing direct #publictransport #activetravel @GalwayCounty #accessible

@GalwayCityCo Will the access be improved? Gravel and broken concrete to get there, not inclusive

The launch of the newly refurbished playground in South Park was held on the 25th of May 2023. The works included new wet pour safety surfaces, a nautical themed centrepiece, outdoor benches and picnic table, and a beautiful marine art piece along the walls ⚓️⛵️ #YourCouncil

@MheithealRothar Making very happy DYIers eager to learn 👏 we missed it!

DIY session at our community workshop every Wednesday evening 6pm-9pm. All welcome #andshecycles #cycling #galway #DIY

@TheBorg99507237 @GHMansfield @GardaTraffic @FHmediastuff Shocking behaviour, even more coming from @GardaTraffic ! What did they reply to that?

@GHMansfield I got stopped by @GardaTraffic for exactly the same thing. I told the gardie that I can't get on it & when I do, I can't cross the road when I need. So what do I do? Wheelchair user face this difficulty regularly, balancing safety & access. Not easy & fustraiting @FHmediastuff

Driver to me a wheelchair user: “Get out of the street.” Me: “I can’t. There are no sidewalks.” Driver: “Get out of the street or stay home.” Sidewalks and pavements are a disability rights issue. Disabled people are not staying home due to inaccessibility.

@rostack @docdok @GalwayCycling got mine a month or so ago, after 9 months (they would send emails saying "it is almost in production", etc., then got many emails "unexpected delays" for every stage between conception and delivery...

@docdok @GalwayCycling Yikes! Ok. Thanks a mil. I need it for the summer so although I’m privy to their next production batch (acc to newsletter), I’m nervous as to whether I’ll have it on time. Will think about it. Thanks for the info.

Cyclists of Twitter, has anyone used Swytch to convert to an e-bike & what can you tell me? Please & thanks @GalwayCycling #Ebike #Swytch #Cycling

@DaCor_ie @OisinONidh @GalwayCityCo woohooo yessss!
