The picture of Colette's vehicle is great.

I recently was in City Hall asking for a public socket to charge my E-bike.As a regular climate striker at City Hall in the 6th year now I have run down a few thousand € on bus tickets and I'm using now an E-bike. But there is no electricity socket in Cork.Well, the staff was friendly and offered an unofficial charge ....

As shown on the picture a charging station is available for the 2 ton vehicle but none for the 0.025 ton vehicle.

There must be hundreds of car charging stations paid/subsidised with public money in Cork and county at over € 1000.- each - but there isn't not a single plain household socket for cyclists for € 9.99 per piece.

Hey, fuck climate plan ... ;)

There is no plan.Just subsidies for the monsters.

Otherwise they would just take their money from us?

Should we not put a pot hole charge on heavy vehicles resp. ban these machines from streets with known subsiding problems like most streets in Cork?

Legally a weight limit is absolutely possible but not done.

Pot holes in pure cycle lanes I haven never seen in my 58 years of cycling.But we could put up sign posts on cycle lanes as well: max. weight 100kg

I would fork out myself for the first one,just for the fairness fun :)
