The TV Series is 3 part documentary on cycling in Dublin. The main premise of the series will be to look at how a cycling culture can be developed in Dublin and what that might look like. To that end, one programme will be a kind of travelogue where we go on a journey from Dublin to Amsterdam via London by bike, ferry and train. We will follow Ciaran Fallon (the new Cycling Officer at Dublin City Council) on his journey as he meets various people involved in the cycling cultures of London and Amsterdam to see what is happening from a cycling perspective in those cities and what Dublin can learn from them.

btw, there was an American pedal project and you can find that over at “Pedal.” it has nothing to do with this project…
March 29, 2010 – Bicycling is a rapidly growing mode of transportation and the New York-New Jersey region is facing increased demand for expanded bicycle infrastructure, safer bicycle routes, access to transit connections and secure parking facilities. While we recognize that many Port Authority facilities currently provide some accommodations for bicycle users, we need to prepare more systematically for the growing use of bicycles as a mode of travel within the regional transportation system.
one NYC’s tragic landmarks are the Ghost Bikes that dot the city’s landscape as reminders of our vulnerability. Daniel Panzer’s Ghost Bikes is a beautiful reminder to be vigilant.
Transportation Alternatives needs you and your friends to vote for BikeBuddy. This new program is a kin to a biking version of Meetup.com. Imagine networking with fellow commuters who use the same bike paths, or discovering someone else’s shortcut across town OR, better yet, finding fellow foodies for a taco run!
All you need is a BikeBuddy! Every day, until Feb 28, TA needs your vote; VOTE EARLY, VOTE OFTEN!
Sidenote – @noneck, one of the curators of this site, has been hired by TA to help organize their social media.
this is such a cruel joke, but at the sametime, it’s SO funny to watch. (btw, mute unless you like horrible rock music.) – video discovered by @bikewobble. btw, if you come across a similar situation here in NYC, call 311 ASAP!
i just downloaded SpokesNYC and am in love! not only do i have NYC’s bike routes in my pocket but a bike rack locator, bike shop finder, bike theft reports from racks, AND color-coded visualization of surface types!!!
Cycling’s enemy is not the car; it is the idiot. And idiots travel by foot, car, and bicycle. If anything, the bicycle has more in common with the car than it does with the pedestrian, since the bicycle is a vehicle too. Really, the problem is that too many people don’t consider bicycles vehicles (which is why they tell us to “Get on the sidewalk!”), coupled with the fact that too many cyclists don’t ride like they’re operating vehicles in the first place. Also, try telling a pedestrian who’s been hit by a cyclist that his real enemy is the car. – BikeSnob via @bikingtoronto
