It’s nice to be remembered when you’re not needed
LinkedIn is a funny place. Everyone’s delighted to announce something, incredibly proud of something else, humbled by an award, grateful for an opportunity, and apparently changing the world …

'Being in a room yesterday with so many people who see a bike as a perfectly normal way to get around, but also simply as something fun, was quite nice. ... For years, I worked in places where ... I was very much the weirdo who arrived on a bike while everyone else drove.' Quite.

Reframing Road Safety
I’m fairly sure nobody has ever been sitting in traffic thinking, “You know what would improve this? More cars.”Really enjoyed Tom Flood’s talk yesterday. Lots in there about reframing safety…

Another morning on the way to University of Limerick. Cars barely moving. Time lost in traffic. And somehow, we have accepted this as normal. It does not have to be. Dare to choose differently. Choose cycling. 🚲

This Earth Day, we’re proud to see our very own Yvonne Ryan-Fogarty, environmental scientist and e-bike enthusiast, featured in the @irishtimes.com, sharing her experience of using an e-cargo bike for her daily commute to the @unioflimerick.bsky.social Read more: www.irishtimes.com/your-money/2...
How a cargo bike can save you a fortune in motoring costs
A cargo bike is cheaper to run than a car and can be faster on short trips to school and shops

That’s how the “mandatory hi-vis for cyclists” in Ireland feels. Fluorescent clothing won’t fix unsafe roads. It shifts responsibility onto the person on the bike instead of addressing the real issue: poor road design and lack of protected cycle lanes. We need safer infrastructure 🚲

This is how our campus looked yesterday at −4°C frozen, yet beautiful. Feeling lucky to work in such parad-ice ❄️✨ @unioflimerick.bsky.social
My workload wasn’t full enough, so I’m running for the Research Electoral Constituency on the @unioflimerick.bsky.social’s Governing Authority! 👀 My manifesto (and the others’) is below. 🚨 If you’re eligible and feel like backing equity and a woman at the table vote!👩🔬 www.ul.ie/corporatesec...

There I am, in the city center (mind you, I live 5 km away from it), running an @iscycle.bsky.social focus group about e-bike perceptions… when this woman goes, “Well, I do know someone who’s always biking around. But they’re foreigners, so you know… different habits.”
Pedestrians and cyclists (those curious creatures who produce no emissions) already enjoy a grand total of about two advantages compared to cars. One of them is supposed to be priority at zebra crossings. Supposed to be.
The only problem I see here is that there’s only one woman on the panel discussing the future of mobility. To build a truly inclusive future, we need equitable representation and diverse voices at the table. @smartcityexpo.bsky.social #SCEWC25

I wrote this piece for the @urbancyclinginstitute.org, reflecting on why we ride (beyond commuting or fitness) and how cycling connects to joy, community, and equality. A simple bike can help shape more inclusive, livable cities. 🚲 urbancyclinginstitute.substack.com/p/why-i-ride...

🚴♂️ Hey e‑bike riders, cycling enthusiasts, and researchers working with power-output data, I’m looking for recommendations: what’s the most reliable crank-based power meter to install on an e‑bike that will accurately measure rider power output separately from the motor’s assistance?
We are delighted to share that the ISCycle project at the @unioflimerick.bsky.social has been shortlisted as a finalist in this year’s @seai-ie.bsky.social Energy Awards. Our project has been recognized in the Excellence in Energy Research and Innovation category ♻️🌍🚲
