Cars and Bikes

The Dumb Riffs blog, put me onto Enrique Peñalosa, the former Mayor of Bagota who transformed Bagota's transportation and parks, just by focusing on groups other than road users. See the article here.

Dublin, despite the shiny Luas (new tram system) , is still a heavily congested nightmare for cyclists and pedestrians. We have a small opportunity next Friday (27th) to remind car users that there are others who use the streets and that cycling is a nice way to get around. OK chances are that we'll proabably alienate some tired commuters, but then did they really need to drive into the city in the first place?

So why not start Halloween off with a bit of Critical Mass bike fun. Invite friends and family, put away your reservations about making a scene , get into your costume early, head to The Garden of Rememberance for about 6pm, we will head off at 7.
