“I’m used to dealing with public bodies & long-drawn-out processes, but with the RSA, I’m actively angry. To say the only explanation you’ll offer is GDPR when people are suffering life-altering injuries and dying is an insult to people.” - Cllr Janet Horner

In news to nobody: "Serious injuries to cyclists on roads far higher than official Garda data shows: Study finds number of injured child cyclists recorded in Irish hospital data is more than six times higher than in Garda records"

Thus, in-car navigation company's press release, I say to you: your claim that average driving speeds in Dublin are slower than an average person cycling IS UNPOSSIBLE.

Eight people dead on the roads in the first eight days of the year. Watch, as precisely nothing happens as a result.

5 January 2024. 5 days. 5 fatal road crashes. 5 people gone. And media organisations report on it like it's nothing. Public authorities barely respond beyond the routine.

Well, I didn't mean to actually predict anything, but not 60 seconds on the road, covered in Christmas lights, and not one but two* drivers overtook and pulled in on top of me, forcing me to brake and swerve to avoid being hit.

So, you know, Happy Christmas, or fuck you - whichever.

I'm late getting around to it for many reasons, but I'm finally getting #ChristmasBike ready. (Pics to follow.) Naturally, being literally lit up like a Christmas tree while moving will render me even more invisible to drivers than usual. So, as always: ✨please politicise the shit out of my death if anything happens to me✨

🚲🎄

If drivers could not nearly kill me for one fucking minute, that'd be great. My family's been through enough for one year (and for one decade).
