Chairperson of Cyclist.ie Colm Ryder says the roads aren't safe enough for cyclists.

"In general, the standards of infrastructure and infrastructure protection for cyclists is very poor," he said.

"I actually live in Dublin City, and it is improving, but it is very poor, and a lot of people will not take the roads in the city centre, because there's no projection for cyclists generally."
