What is the Dublin Cycling Campaign?

The Dublin Cycling Campaign is an independent, voluntary group who've been lobbying local government for nearly two decades to get improved cycle facilities, better cyclist safety and more recognition for cyclists in any infrastructure  projects. We were instrumental in getting the 30KMPH speed limit and Dublin Bikes, and we're working on getting things like a minimum overtaking distance set in legislation. We also do social cycles and events to give our members a chance to meet and chat.

 

 

What do we want?

 

We want to make the streets safer for cyclists and to increase public awareness of the benefits of cycling.

We want to see a quantum increase in the use of the bike for commuting to school, college and workplace, recognising that a 'critical mass' of cyclists in traffic leads inevitably to safer streets.

Safer streets for cyclists are also safer streets for pedestrians and lead to nicer cities for all.

We are represented on the Strategic Policy Committees in Dublin City and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Councils.

We're nominated as a consultative body in the Government's National Cycle Policy Framework
