Cork’s first citizen has been challenged to take the bus or bike to more official functions after the current office holder cycled to perform the official opening of a new bike-friendly entrance to Tramore Valley Park.

Colm Kelleher switched from his mayoral electric Ford Mustang to an e-bike on Tuesday to lead a bike bus, which included council chief executive, Ann Doherty, from City Hall to the new entrance off Half Moon Lane.
