"Almost Reared on a Bike"
According to Margaret:
"I grew up in Macroom and think that I could cycle before I could walk! I was almost reared on a bicycle.
When I moved to Cork and started working in Cork City Library, I always cycled to work. Subsequently, I got a car, and moved to work in CIT, and didn’t use a bike. A few years ago, my husband and I decided we would go on a two week cycling holiday in the Netherlands, a dream for cyclists, with cycle paths everywhere and not a hill in sight! I would really recommend this as a holiday.
Just three weeks ago, however, I bought a bike through the cycle to work scheme, and I have started cycling to work again. I am really enjoying the fresh air and the sense of freedom. The second day I arrived to work on my bike, I was greeted with ‘here comes Sean Kelly’!

We also have a new initiative called ‘Healthy CIT’, so as part of that campaign I will continue to cycle to and from work. I am looking forward to taking part in Operation Transportation and sharing my cycling trips for the next 10 days.
