My colleagues were shocked I cycled to work today both on time and that I was dry. We have the benefit of a shower room, but the only thing that got wet was my hair while my wet gear kept the rest of me dry.

Skehard Road needs a tow truck to be doing laps of the road. Today the special award goes to the two jeeps and a van parked outside a home getting work done with an empty driveway.

Oh nothing, just a now routine and completely unremarkable sight of an ambulance on an emergency call out using the King St cycle lane to bypass queues of cars yesterday. 🚑 999 🤝 C9 🚲

"Presently, two lanes of traffic (incoming and outgoing) are shared between cars and buses. I fail to see how keeping two lanes and adding a bus lane improves the situation." #BusCommentsCork
"The proposed alternative driving routes are going to be bumper to bumper to allow for buses which are mostly empty." #BusCommentsCork #BusConnects

Could have done with some of these in Cork over the last few weeks.
With climate change, storms are getting more and more intense. Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDs) play a key role in reducing floods in London by absorbing rain water. Great to see @tfl's new raingardens on Elspeth Road.

Wouldn't that be something. A greenway and a train line would really open the east. Pity the powers that be can't think long term.
Sitting on the Youghal to Cork bus, wishing it was a Youghal to Cork train.... Nothing wrong with the bus (isn't it great there *is* one...) but how much better (faster/scenic) would a train be...

Cork could do with this to be honest. Last few weeks have been a nightmare for illegal parking.

Where were the yellow ribbons and angry community forums for these? Or right. No parking was impacted that's why.

The replies here just prove the point.
I don't 'hate' cars. I want to see them used less, create smaller amounts of emissions, but mostly I want to see road space being used more fairly, more democratically, more for the benefit of those whose means of getting about isn't in using cars.
