Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1I was in Amsterdam recently, a beautiful city, their main transport being trams and bikes. Dublin streets are not safe enough for cyclists and they should have taken care of that before introducing the bike scheme. I'd sue the Dept of Transport! Sympathy to friends and famillies of those who have been hurt or killed in such accidents of which there have been too many.
Hi. If anyone would like to contribute ideas of expression concerning this tragedy or to commemerate all cycle users killed on the roads in Dublin. Can you e-mail them here. If you want to partcipate more and feel like expressing your protest,solidarity,love of cycling,empathy with the families of those involved in incidents like this or what ever else you can vision. Then say so and maybe the energy can be harvested into action. email here. dubcycleoflife@gmail.com Maybe we could work something out for next week to the day of the tragic death on the Quays. specifically at the site? just came up O'connel st and a luas tram has collided with a number 16 bus. Are you satisfied with the peace on the roads? . Also here is the link for Dublin cycling campaign which maybe useful.http://www.dublincycling.com/contact
Looking forward
Péars.
You might as well try to roll back the tide.
When the Automobile first took to the streets in the 19th century far-sighted people predicted that it would result in the deaths of millions of people.
They were right.
Laws were passed requiring every automobile to be preceded by a man waving a red flag.
This is not a joke. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_flag_laws#Red_flag_law...he_UK
Quote:
"In the United Kingdom, the Red Flag Law, a policy requiring self-propelled vehicles to be led by a pedestrian, waving a red flag or carrying a lantern, to warn bystanders of the vehicle's approach. The Red Flag Law was repealed in 1896."
Around a million people die worldwide every year in road traffic accidents.
See:
http://www.factbook.net/EGRF_Exec_Summary.htm
Quote:
"Study findings also indicate that over the next ten to twenty year the number of people dying annually in road crashes may rise to 1 million to 1.3 million respectively."
It may be my turn,or your turn,soon.
.
I also think the streets need to become a safer place for everybody. This death is tragic and I pass on my respects to the family of the person that has died and my thoughts go out to the car user involved in the collision.. It is also a tragic accident that parallels the issuing of Dublin City Councils pay and ride bike's! This particular stretch of the Quays has a history of cycling fatalities. I agree with your sentiment for some sort of expression of protest and concern for our freewheelin community. I look forward to the day when Dublin has a non public transport automobile exclusion zone within the city center, when people driving give way to those cycling. when we have a awareness amongst automobile drivers that will nurture cycling culture . Who knows? maybe in the not to distant future people will talk of dangerously(criminal!?) designed cities that neglected significant members of its communities by keeping the status quo where cycling and transport is concerned. Have you considered organising a protest or quick response group for public demo's when this happens?. maybe using the internet to do so? I would be interested in a quick creative response to something like this. 1000 less cars for every bike, calories burnt (not oil), quiet more room,less vroom!
Thank you bike users of Dublin.
