Bicycles were once again in the Parade!!

Shock walk forced on Health Minister (Irish Times)

According to this Bord Failte report, the Great Western Greenway in Mayo, which cost only €5.6mn to construct, brought €7.2mn to the local area in 2011 alone!

You may have heard the unfortunate news that The Greenhouse on St. Andrews Street will no longer be available to us for meetings since the start of February.  We need to look for a new venue, and we'd like YOUR ideas.

Thanks to all who have helped so much with this campaign!  Heartening that the City Council and Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government got together and extended the Cycling Officer's contract for six months.  We really hope that this gives time to find permanent funding for the Officer's salary, given the extraordinarily high ratio of benefit to cost that the promotion of cycling achieves.  Though it's the principle of having the Officer job in place, as set out by the National Cycle Policy Framework, we have to say that the current Officer, Dr. Ciaran Fallon, has been a really effective and capable voice for cycling in Dublin for the last 3 years, and we do hope he'll see fit to continue in the job!

Yes, it looks like our cycling video succeeded in staying inside the top 10 in the Volunteer Only Organisation category. Thank you very much for your part in helping us get this far, it's great to know there's this much support.

The official shortlist is announced this Wednesday. Then it's up to the Better Together judging panel to weigh up the merits of each of the 10 entries in this category as well as the other 2 categories for each of the 3 prizes. So, fingers crossed they think our video best conveys that we're better together when we want to improve Dublin city for everyone who would like to cycle :-)
