Challenge / Goal
The project seeks to address the challenges of low cycling rates, high carbon emissions, traffic congestion, and poor health outcomes in Ireland, by encouraging more people to cycle for commuting, leisure, and tourism purposes.
Solution
The project involves the development of a national cycle route map, the construction of new cycle paths and lanes, the improvement of existing infrastructure, and the installation of bike parking facilities. The project also offers bike rental stations at strategic locations, where users can rent bikes for a low fee using a mobile app. Additionally, the project organizes bike maintenance workshops, where volunteers teach basic skills and provide free repairs. Furthermore, the project delivers cycling education programs for schools and communities, where participants learn about the benefits and safety of cycling, and receive certificates and incentives.
