Cycling advocacy group for Wexford 💜💛

Join us for an evening conversation celebrating cycling in all its forms: from the school run to the daily commute. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just curious about getting on your bike more, this webinar brings together real perspectives on what it's like to cycle in Wexford today. We'll be hearing from a local who recently made the leap from Wexford to Copenhagen (one of the world's great cycling cities) and exploring what that contrast reveals about infrastructure, culture, and how small changes can make a big difference. From navigating Irish roads as a commuter to cycling with kids and family, we'll talk honestly about the challenges, the joys, and what's possible. Come along, ask questions, and be part of the conversation about making Wexford a better place to cycle, for everyone.
