The worsening climate change crisis is the defining societal issue of our generation. c. 40% of Ireland’s emissions come from transport. It is important to note how cycling can play a significant part in reducing these emissions. However, enabling modal share shifts from private cars to bicycles for short trips in the city requires:
- The provision of well-connected and segregated cycle routes;
- The provision of high quality public bike parking across the city;
- The provision of bike-related facilities at trip destinations (lockers, showers, bike parking)
- A reduction in vehicular speeds in most urban areas and limiting through-traffic on certain routes.
