And there we have it, in black and white! After 6 years of campaigning for safer routes to school, €650,000 allocated this year for segregated cycle lanes on the wdr. Thanks to the NTA, @GalwayCityCo, @GalwayCycling & all our supporters throughout the years 🥳🥳🚲🚴♀️ #CycleBus

Could this be the beginning of the end for the Knocknacarra cyclebus? We hoped to retire after a couple of years, but we'll happily bow out after 6 😊. Lots of positive things happening in Galway at the moment. Who would have thought!? Looking forward to seeing further details!
Brilliant news from this evenings council meeting. Raised & segregated cyclelanes for the WDR included in the 2024 city budget. Delighted! Huge thanks to the Active Travel Team for working with the community & to all the councillors in the area who have supported this project👏👏

We're certainly getting there! And with the huge numbers of children cycling independently, in groups or with ourselves, what's really noticeable is how patient car drivers have become in the past few weeks. The warm weather has put everyone in a good mood!😊🌞🚲🌞

We just counted 168 bikes @GSMhicAmhlaigh today. This must be some sort of world record. Well, Irish record anyway if we exclude our Dutch and European cousins! What do you reckon @GreenSchoolsIre?? Anyone beating us?? @CTribune @Galwaybayfmnews #SafeRoutesToSchool
Great end to #BikeWeek on the cycle bus! There was on average over 120 children cycling into @GSMhicAmhlaigh nearly every day. The daily congestion was at the bike racks rather than vehicular traffic on the roads! #CycleBus 🚲🌞☺️

Thanks to @sharonmlynch for coming down to chat to us and some of the children about their experiences on the cycle to school. Recently, we've had good engagement with engineers from @GalwayCityCo so fingers crossed we might see some positive interventions soon 🤞
The National Transport Authority has allocated €290m to local authorities to be spent on walking and cycling infrastructure this year. However, councils in Limerick and Galway recently voted down plans for more cycle lanes in their cities
