"Zero interest in cycling here it seems and there's the Green Party putting in more and more cycling lanes and building 5star bike sheds. 🚲🚴♂️🚴♀️" 🙄 Lots of cyclists actually, sure don't you see them out and about every day. I like it myself, and greatly appreciate the government investing in making it safer to do, I'm just not into joining a group. | |||

Loads of cyclists here and I'm all for cycle lanes. Build it and they will come. | |||

"Zero interest in cycling here it seems and there's the Green Party putting in more and more cycling lanes and building 5star bike sheds. 🚲🚴♂️🚴♀️" I do love cycling but prefer to cycle on my own as I can cycle on my own pace!! Also, weatherwise, it's been crap these days, bloody Irish weather!!  | |||

"Zero interest in cycling here it seems and there's the Green Party putting in more and more cycling lanes and building 5star bike sheds. 🚲🚴♂️🚴♀️" Are you using the evidence from lack of response to this post as a reason politicians should support cycling less? Or was “here” your local area? Either way, pleased to see support for cycling! | |||

"Love cycling. Maybe controversial but I'm not a fan of bike lanes, alot are in disrepair and full of shite so I tend to stay on the road" Interesting. I’m in two minds. Goes without saying they have to be maintained to be safe at all. And some are so poorly designed - like when they come to a sudden stop, or involve wild chicanes! Many of the two-way lanes are somewhat narrow. There’s also the complicated issue of how they intersect with junctions. But still, we’re that bit further from those lethal machines one calls cars, and some of them are really useful, and probably encourage cycling. Was in Barcelona with my bike recently - full of cycle lanes, designed really well, and respected by drivers. But they do have the advantage of wide-open roads and partial grid-style road pattern. | |||

I cycle for leisure myself, mostly on Greenways or quite country roads. Most cycle lanes I see in cities and towns remain empty for most of the day but I appreciate they are a help to those who use them to commute to work/school/college. Politicians should focus on creating jobs, providing healthcare and housing. Secondary facilities such as cycle lanes will follow on as a natural progression of a properly functioning, well run economy/society. Get the basics right and the rest will follow. | |||

"Love cycling.

All the crap from the roads get flung in there and there's no maintaining done. I'd only cycle in there with a mountain bike or a commuter bike. My racer stays on the road. It's still very important to have them regardless of condition | |||

"I used to cycle all the time in oz, bought really nice bikes and even imported them, but I soon stopped riding here as infrastructure was really dangerous. It's nice to see a lot of cycle tracks be more protected than shared with bus lanes or littered with manholes these days, and a lot of connections being put in so there's longer stretches to get places. Have been trying to work out how I can get more cycling in these days and get that confidence back now it's starting to get a little safer. " Completely agree. Got knocked off my bike by a white van driver and hurled into a ditch. He drove on like I was road kill. Took me 3 years to get the confidence to go back out. I now however drive to rural location which defeats to point to a degree. I'm sure I'll get my full confidence back sometime. But that's what's helping me. Get myself to an isolated area and hit the road for 2 or 3 hours on my bike away from cars for the most part | |||

I'd love to be able to cycle the coast road from Galway towards Connemara but it's crazy dangerous because the road is narrow, there's no passing and drivers in a rush are mental. | |||
