A great story one can bike with

Number of cycling commuters rises dramatically - The Irish Times - Fri, Oct 12, 2012: "CYCLING TO work, college or school has risen by 15 per cent nationally since 2006 and – more dramatically – by more than a third in Dublin, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and Cork, according to an analysis of last year’s census.

Jimmy Stagg, chairman of the Irish Bicycle Business Association (IBBA), said the figures “show that the Government’s support for cycling as a means of transport is working” and Census 2011 proved that “people will switch to cycling” with the right kind of support.

However, the results are not uniform throughout the State. Although Dublin city recorded an increase of 34 per cent, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown 36 per cent and Cork 33 per cent, the number of people cycling in Limerick fell by 5 per cent and in Waterford by 9 per cent."
