 More than 100 cyclists on Irish roads are injured in collisions each year, according to recent data from the Road Safety Authority. Cities and towns are most dangerous for cyclists, with the majority of all accidents occurring in built-up areas. Students are encouraged to cycle to college through initiatives such as cycle to campus scheme and the DCU inter-campus bike scheme. However, many cyclists feel unsafe travelling to college on bikes. At the moment, when I'm cycling, I'll be behind a bus. That bus is probably going to pull out. I can either try and overtake it, which is dangerous, or I can stay behind it and get a big face full of fumes, which isn't that pleasant. So I think if we could have a situation where there was just more of a kind of clearly demarcated space for cyclists and one for buses, that would be better. DCU also holds weekly bike clinics, where students can come and get their bike service to prove charge. We spoke to Samantha Fahey about what can be done to improve models and encourage students to cycle to college. My ideal would be that we would have segregated cycle tracks, so that they wouldn't have the opportunity for cars to pull in on top of them. Because you can see, as you do any of the routes, even just between our campuses, that some of them, the cars are parked inside of the cycle lane. So it's really difficult for cyclists because then they have to go out around the car, then you're out and you're getting the way of other motor vehicles coming up and down the lane.
