Ye'r On Ye'r Bike!




More and more people are choosing to cycle and walk in Dublin, with numbers doubling in just eight years.

These are some of the key findings from Dublin City Council’s Canal Cordon Count, the results of which were presented to the council’s Transport and Traffic committee yesterday.

Dublin City Council counts all vehicles at 32 locations entering the streets bordering the city’s canals in November between 7am and 10am.

Some of the key findings in 2012 were:

An increase of 15.6% in cyclists. Cycle numbers doubled between 2004 and 2012
The figure for pedestrians was up by 17.3%
Goods vehicles were down 6.5%
Private car journeys decreased by 0.2%
