What we’re about
Come and join us for easy group cycles around Limerick.
We are a new group offering people the chance to meet up and try out city cycling as part of a group. Over the next few months we will be organising regular group cycles around the city, exploring some of the nicer routes to cycle as well as trying out some of the cycle lanes in Limerick and helping people get used to cycling on the road. We will end all our events by going for lunch or coffee (or occasionally pints!) after our cycle.
The overall aim of this group is to increase the modal share of cycling in Limerick city. (Modal share is the percentage of people who use a certain type of transport whether it's cycling, driving a car or taking public transport etc.). Cycling has become really popular since the lockdown at the end of March and I get the feeling that there are a lot of people who would love to try out cycling but feel that it's not safe enough for them to start.
This will also be a social group, in many countries cycling is a social activity so we'll try to bring some of that spirit to the group. These will be nice, relaxed events, we are not a competitive group or a group for racing. Everyone is welcome so go ahead and join and we'll hopefully see you at one of our events!
