Another morning on the way to University of Limerick. Cars barely moving. Time lost in traffic.
And somehow, we have accepted this as normal.
It does not have to be. Dare to choose differently. Choose cycling. 🚲

That’s how the “mandatory hi-vis for cyclists” in Ireland feels.
Fluorescent clothing won’t fix unsafe roads. It shifts responsibility onto the person on the bike instead of addressing the real issue: poor road design and lack of protected cycle lanes.
We need safer infrastructure 🚲

There I am, in the city center (mind you, I live 5 km away from it), running an @iscycle.bsky.social focus group about e-bike perceptions… when this woman goes, “Well, I do know someone who’s always biking around. But they’re foreigners, so you know… different habits.”

Pedestrians and cyclists (those curious creatures who produce no emissions) already enjoy a grand total of about two advantages compared to cars. One of them is supposed to be priority at zebra crossings. Supposed to be.

The only problem I see here is that there’s only one woman on the panel discussing the future of mobility. To build a truly inclusive future, we need equitable representation and diverse voices at the table.

🚴♂️ Hey e‑bike riders, cycling enthusiasts, and researchers working with power-output data, I’m looking for recommendations: what’s the most reliable crank-based power meter to install on an e‑bike that will accurately measure rider power output separately from the motor’s assistance?
