'A car brushed my shoulder and I almost fell off my bike': Children share their cycling stories

What’s remarkable about public consultation and the debate about new cycle projects is how children seem to be side-lined.
Construction started earlier this year on a €62m project to improve water mains, install segregated cycle lanes, and deliver bus priority infrastructure along a 2.7km route in Fairview, Dublin.
Projects like this are not uncommon in any city in the world, as we race to make our urban areas safer for people walking and cycling and try to encourage more people to take public transport.
