Gerry Horkan (FF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

It took me 20 years to get back on my bike. Senator Cassells looks okay after his first trip. With regard to bike promotion, I wish to emphasise that every bike takes a car off the roads.
I am a driver as much as a cyclist, but I ask people to think of the bicycle when they are driving. On the way in I encountered five vehicles in cycle lanes. Equally, two people opened their doors in front of me and apologised to me. We just need people to be conscious of people cycling.
