How to get more Bodies on Bikes

My wife Margaret encouraged me to buy a bicycle after she purchased her own bike recently. I’m glad I did as it opens up new possibilities I’d forgotten about — like being able to cross the city without worrying about parking or traffic jams, and going places where it would be difficult or impossible to drive cars.

| Some Cork Cycle Lanes |
In our former address I dismantled Margaret’s old bike and put it away in the attic to discourage her from cycling through a roundabout near our previous address.
Now that we have moved away from that roundabout and because of the new cycle lanes being rolled out by Cork City Council, we are both back cycling and enjoying it. I hope the Council continues to roll out new cycle lanes. It really encourages cycling.
I also hope that places of employment will construct lockable bike shelters for employees to further encourage cycling to work.
Well done to all concerned with Operation Transportation!
