National Cycling Office among measures sought by cycling lobbyists in Budget spending

E-bike subsidies, ringfenced funding for cycling infrastructure, and the establishment of a National Cycling Office are some of the measures sought by cycling lobbyists in their pre-budget submission to Government this week.

Cyclist.ie, the Irish Cycling Advocacy Network, has called on the Government to implement the recommendation of the Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action’s Report and the Government’s own Climate Action Plan by allocating 10% of the land transport budget to cycling with immediate effect from next month’s Budget.
