Good news for cyclists.

A total of 32 new bike stands are now in place at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Ballintemple.

Praising the decision to install the bicycle stands, a spokesperson for Cork Cycling Campaign said they would encourage sports fans to travel to games by bike:

Recent research consistently shows that cities which invest in cycling infrastructure benefit not only environmentally, but socially and economically. Studies have found that increased cycling reduces traffic congestion, improves air quality, and lowers carbon emissions, while also delivering significant public health benefits through increased physical activity.

Urban areas with safe, accessible cycling facilities also tend to see higher levels of local spending, as cyclists are more likely to shop locally and visit venues regularly. For large sporting events, cycling infrastructure can ease pressure on car parking and public transport, helping venues manage crowds more efficiently.
