Should the government promote the use of bicycles by expanding bike lanes and bike-sharing programs?

Yes but in a way that doesn’t infringe on accessibility for disabled people e.g. driving and parking being entirely unavailable and restricted in certain areas

No as the weather is not good enough in this country but should promote them in an approach for healthy lifestyle and exercise

Yes, they should be expanded but not at the expense or inconvenience of those who chose to and enjoy driving.

Yes and no. We do not have the weather to rely on this type of transport. No one wants to get into work and have to sit all day in soaking wet clothes, or have to change outfits multiple times a day. We are also a commuter country. Many people travel 30+ minutes to and from work, etc. each-way and each day, this is not sustainable for the majority of the population. Increasing bike lane widths and ultimately reducing road carriageway widths poses a great safety issue to pedestrians and cyclists, especially in areas with no alternative route for HGVs. this ulatimately results in a higher risk to cyclists and pedestrians, and further increases congestion in many areas.

Yes but have more regulation on electric bikes and scooters

Yes, but only expanding bike lanes where it does not negatively impact the existing vehicle traffic, such as the removal of vital lanes which help with congestion. Otherwise, bike lanes should be planned and installed in a way that doesn't affect existing traffic.

Very important! Current strategy/ methods are weak and having very limited impact in growing this mode of transport. Strategies and methods need greater ambition and political commitments.

There should be promotion of the use of bicycles but not by taking away space of the roads.

Not ideally suited for rural areas or small towns only beneficial in city’s

In places where its realistic. Rural Ireland can't cater for it. Fine in cities

yes and provide free lessons to everyone on how to cycle and use the road as a cyclist

The government should invest in public transport instead. More buses and trams instead of more bike lanes

Yes, but not being extreme by pushing out cars completely, we are too reliant on cars for too drastic a change

Yes and no yes it be good for people to cycle but no as not a lot of people will use them which will be a waste of money and time

Create bike lanes that don't inhibit road traffic and disrupt popular routes

Yes, so long as roads are not continued to be obstructed

cyclists should be better informed about rules of the road or have some kind of “license” to prove they’ve undergone safety training, it’s for their safety and others 🫠

They're already doing this and the lanes seen underused

Yes, but experienced planners and engineers with experience designing cycle infrastructure in countries with well designed infrastructure should be responsible.

Yes but without compromise to heavily populated paths or roads

there is already enough and the roads are getting smaller, not good for people who can’t afford or ride a bike

Do you think biking should be promoted as a green alternative to driving, or is it not practical for most people?

Would you be more likely to bike if there were a bike-sharing program near you? Why or why not?

How do you feel about sharing the road with both cyclists and cars? What challenges does that present?

Do you believe dedicating more street space for cyclists is fair to drivers?

How do you think cities can balance the needs of both cyclists and drivers on busy streets?

What do you think is the biggest barrier to making cycling a more popular way to get around?

How would your daily routine change if your city had more bike lanes?

How safe would you feel biking in your town, and why?

In what ways could cycling impact the environment in your community?

What is more important to you: reducing traffic and emissions or keeping road space for cars? Why?
