Support cycling

category national | miscellaneous | press release author Saturday February 03, 2007 15:41author by jay - Velodrome Irelandauthor email velodromeireland at hotmail dot comauthor address Jason/Garrett Report this post to the editors

Velodrome and Lanes

We the undersigned note call on the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism and the Department of Transport to invest in facilities to encourage the pursuit of cycling in Ireland.

It is now 20 years since Stephen Roche won the Tour de France and in that time car dependency has been encouraged at the expense of cycling. More teenagers drive to school than cycle.

To encourage cycling in Ireland, we call for more cycle lanes, cycle tracks to encourage cycling at all ages and a national velodrome with a cycling academy to find a new generation of world class cyclists in Ireland.
We need your support!

Please sign this petition, which will be in all Dublin City Centre cycling shops shortly. The campaign will expand nationwide. Anyone who wants help, send us a message. We want to get tens of thousands of signatures. The petition will be presented to the Departments of Health, Transport, Tourism and the Irish Sports Council when we achieve the required number of signatures.

Peope pay up to €800 to join a gym, while others play sports on play station. CYCLING is free! A velodrome would help train Ireland's best cyclist. Currently we have an appalling situation where Ireland's top cyclists are hindered in their training because they have to go to England, Wales and Belgium for indoor training!!

After the last election the government could not manage a Bertie Bowl- how about a VELODROME?

WE NEED YOU TO GET INVOLVED!!
