Rebel pedal set to take off at weekend

CORK city will be a pedestrian-friendly zone on Saturday to promote ‘green’ modes of transport like pedal power.

Key city streets will be closed to traffic as hundreds of cycling enthusiasts take part in a 40-minute Rebel Pedal cycling circuit of the city. It is the highlight of the city’s involvement in European Mobility Week — a pan-European initiative to promote sustainable transport.

A section of St Patrick’s Street and adjacent streets will be open to pedestrians, cyclists, buses and taxis only between 11am and 5pm.
