Our city … our streets … our choice … 9.30 am Bike Ride assemble City Hall, ride around city centre for about 40 minutes. Organised by Cork Environmental Forum. 11am – 1pm Bike Doctor, Emmet Place (outside Opera House) – get your bike checked out / basic repairs done for free, or just hang out with the lovely folk of the Cork cycling Campaign, and watch the skateboarders. 6pm Critical Mass assemble Daunt Square … plus doubtless other stuff I didn’t know about. Please note, personally I’m involved in the Bike Doctor only. Just passing on the news re the other two events. I’ll be supporting them alright, just don’t ask me any questions about them. read full story / add a comment

The third annual Diversity Day festival happened yesterday at Bishop Lucey Park (aka ‘the peace park’) in Cork yesterday, the 19th of September, and was widely acclaimed as a success. There was a wide variety of acts and exhibitors, and a crowd in the hundreds lapped up the entrtainment and informative stalls provided free of charge by the participants. There were hassles with insurance and with the access to the park, but all in all it was a successful third festival. Here's hoping that Diversity Day will continue to flourish long into the future! read full story / add a comment

The summer is always full of sport - the good weather sends us outdoors and between the cycling and the walking and the boating and the wrestling it can all get a bit competitive. But now that Mayday and Bush are behind us, and the summer is ending we move from sport to debate in the flow of the seasons. The Autumn is conference season and the movements generally have their shindigs around now. From Grassroots to SIPTU, from the Independent Media Support Group (c. 25 members) to the British TUC (c. 7 million members) it can be called a gathering or a meeting or a conference or whatever. From the committee rooms, the meetings and.. err.. the meeting rooms of the ongoing social forum process the full shocking story. read full story / add a comment

Bikes are the cleanest ,healthiest and safest way of getting around the city streets but cycling around Dublin can be a nightmare! Critical Mass is a mass coincidental bunch of cyclists on the city streets The point is to show everyone--commuters, pedestrians and residents that there is a better way to get around. Once people see how much fun cycling can be, and how much safer and more pleasant it makes their streets,we will see improved facilities for cyclists in the city something that will benefit everyone. read full story / add a comment

So we made it. Finally after nearly 200 clicks, three punctures, two new tyres, one basket sacrificed, and cycling through a monsoon (5 days rain in one) a bash on the knee and a damaged finger, we arrived in Limerick and are camped out the back of a peace activists house. read full story / add a comment
