Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area Walking and Cycling Index

Why do I cycle? Because it’s more convenient. I’m not contributing to congestion and road dangers. The electric cargo bike is such a game changer, it replaced our second car.

I’ll encourage my daughters to cycle to school when they’re older, but there’s a caveat - the infrastructure isn’t there to support them.

If it was completely segregated, then within a couple of years they should be able to cycle on their own. Infrastructure is the key.

I work for an employer with 1,200 people in the company. We have an environmental team who promote active travel, and it’s working. We have secure parking, we have changing rooms and showers. More of this is needed.
