Aidan,
As a peaceful, lawful, logical, and thoughtful protest, in response to all those motor vehicle drivers, who abuse and endanger cyclists; I suggest this:
The majority of cyclists are also car owners; let's hold an organised "#CarsAreAmazing: #2023NoCyclingDay".
28/04/23.
@LimerickCouncil @LimerickCycling
Had a very close encounter with an articulated lorry, that accelerated suddenly to pass me, whilst I was cycling on the Dock Road.
The new central reservation, enforcing no-right-turn from St. Alphonsus Street, onto Dock Road; defeats cycling.
How in the name of $*&'# can Limerick Council claim to support 'Smarter Travel', and specifically cycling; when not one person asked:
"Will this proposed change to the road layout; endanger other vulnerable road users"?

Dashcam capture today. Lucky escape for the cyclist - car driver continuously beeping as they tried to crush the cyclist. Watching the footage makes me sick to my stomach. @CorkCyclingCrew @CorkGreens @GardaTraffic @IrishCycle @cyclistie

Will the cycle lanes on O'Connell Street, Limerick City, be safe for cyclists to use?
When I am in a pedestrian mode in the City Centre; even with my own cyclist's eye, I find myself inadvertently walking on the cycle lane, and unsure of the footpath <> cycle-lane boundaries.
67%The cycle-lane is not..
33%.. visually distinct ..
0%.. enough for fast and..
0%... easy recognition.

".. especially in the city, the bicycle constitutes a fully-fledged alternative to public transport and passenger cars".
Fully.

Why was a monorail constructed in County Kerry plus there are a lot of reasons why monorails weren't practical for everyday use.
Check this video out to find out why:
