In preparation for the imminent relaunch of our shiny new national organisation, we would like to develop a public document that shares the story of the impact we as cycling advocates have had over time. This won’t be a comprehensive listing of everything that has been achieved over the past 30+ years, but rather one that gives a flavour of the breadth of results that have been generated.
We need to hear your views. What is different now in your own life, in your community, in Ireland, as a result of our work? How have knowledge, discourses, attitudes, behaviours, relationships, quality of life, policies, practice, infrastructure or the environment changed?
It doesn’t matter if you are a long-term / hard core cycling activist or if you are a new member of the Irish Cycling Campaign. It doesn’t matter if you have masses you would like to share with us or only have a small thing you want to point to. What does matter is that you do it!
Please complete this one-question survey by 6 December 2024 at the very latest and encourage others to do the same. We can’t wait to hear from you.

In Cork, during the Covid 19 pandemic, healthcare workers asked for a safe cycling route from the city to Cork University Hospital via the Bon Secours Hospital. We achieved a protected cycle lane on O Donovan’s Road and a new cycle pathway through School boy Park. We still don’t have a complete route but those two new installations have helped.
Keep up the wonderful work. Am hopeful the Sligo Greenway will eventually become a reality.
