Until a similar attitude prevails in UK this country cannot call itself a civilised nation.
We'll know when it happens when it is considered normal and acceptable to allow an 11 year old child to cycle or walk to school - any school - on any road.
That's my view, anyway.

Very nice Film,I would like to see this happening in Dublin. A lot of begrudgery and Stubborness from some City Councillors and Business People to any change.
Things move very slowly a bit at a time unfortunately,some little Victories happen though like the 30KPH in City Centre and the lessening of those horrible HGV's in the City.
There are Children who Cycle to School not a whole lot but some.
Reducing speed is key to making cycling more attractive and safe. Just 10mph less makes all difference.
