Formerly known as Bike Life, this is the UK's biggest ever study of walking, wheeling and cycling.
Every year, walking and cycling in the Galway Metropolitan Area results in:
I’ve cerebral palsy on my left side and it affects my balance and mobility.
I have been cycling a recumbent trike since 2019, which not only keeps me more mobile but also allows me to keep up with my four growing boys!
There is no real infrastructure within Oranmore or Galway. You have the odd cycle lane here and there but for the most part I’m cycling on the road.
We need to see more movement on improving the overall infrastructure.
More cycle lanes, the removal of kissing gates, more awareness of cyclists on the road and most of all respect. Drivers do not give you the space you need on the road, and it would be great to see this improve.
