Simon joins a Donegal family as they swap their cars for bikes for a full week of school runs, commutes and shopping trips. Meanwhile, Bláthnaid heads to the Mecca of the bike, Copenhagen, to see why cycling works so well in Northern Europe and what we can learn from it. We also meet some of the people who cycle Ireland for work or leisure and find out what they think of sharing Ireland’s roads with other people.
Bláthnaid visits the Spanish city of Seville to see how building cycle tracks transformed the city and its people. She also takes to the Great Western Greenway to find out how it has impacted Mayo. Meanwhile, Simon looks at our roads from the back of a motorbike and finds out why so many Irish cyclists are being killed or seriously injured every year.
Simon Delaney takes to the saddle for his week long cycling challenge. So, will our dedicated driver be swapping his car keys for cycling shorts? Meanwhile Bláthnaid journeys across the Netherlands where both rural and urban cycling as a means of transport has become the norm. We also test the road safety knowledge of some of Ireland’s future drivers.
