Great to see people enjoying the greenway, would be even better if they didn't have to deal with people using the route as a shortcut into Naas. @billclear45

140km & 3 weeks in with a family ecargo bike. We've been doored once, had a school bus driver cursing & driving aggressively at us (in front of a bus full of children) twice, & this morning a car nearly took us out of it making a right turn. This is a daily reality for cyclists

The more air pollution you breathe, the more likely it is you'll develop cancer. For every 10 microgram per cubic meter (µg/m³) of increased exposure to PM2.5, the risk of dying from any cancer rises by 22 percent. birmingham.ac.uk/news-archiv…

Would there be any interest in setting up an Irish organisation based on the Norwegian Trekking Association? An organisation that promotes accessible, active, versatile and environmentally-friendly outdoor activities while looking after nature. open.spotify.com/episode/6ja…

"Friluftsliv"...the missing link between human and environmental health?

Wow - (SSTs) The sea surface temperatures off the west coast of Ireland are extremely high, surpassing any recorded levels - off the scale! - The North Atlantic is becoming the baño grande (big bath) - filling up from Greenland Ice melt - with the hot tap turned on max!
