Walking for transport in Ireland
A cyclist, a family or a vehicle? Claiming the road with the e-cargo bike
Providing and confining mobility
Driving as essential, cycling as conditional
Car-based automobility remains dominant across Europe despite the high energy requirements such a system embeds. This system is becoming increasingly problematised. As part of an alternative vision for everyday mobility, an aspiration for v elomobility appears to be growing. In light of the persistent subordinate status of cycling across much of Europe relative to driving, attempts to lay the foundations for everyday cycling are often pursued thr…
Disruptive, dangerous, and dirty
Automobility centred on private car use generates various externalitiesor 'antagonisms' -that threaten its sustainability as a mobility regime.Through expanding the practice and spaces of driving, mass immobility can result.With increased car use, comes increased energy use, generating an ecological antagonism for this regime.Finally, greater car use has resulted in mass road traffic injuries and fatalities, which presents another threat to the g…
‘It’s not disrespect – it’s putting you at risk’
In the field of cycling studies, explicit and implicit theories of risk are frequently used for the purposes of research design, data collection, data analysis, and policy. In this article, we argue that this field may benefit from theories and concepts that speak to – but go beyond – theories of risk, and more directly focus on matters of right and recognition. Drawing on grounded theory research involving interviews with 28 cyclists in Dublin, …
Sacrificing entitlement for self-preservation
In this paper, I present and explain the process of ‘privatising vulnerability’ that cyclists in Dublin engage in as a means of coping with structural conditions of ‘precarious entitlement’ to public space. First, I introduce and situate my study in relation to seminal work exploring cycling mobilities. Second, I describe the context of the study – Dublin, Ireland. Third, I explain the classical grounded theory methodology and approach to qualita…
Provoking responsibility’
In this paper, I present how cyclists in Dublin engage in a process of provoking responsibility in their interactions with other mobile subjects as means of dealing with conditions of precarious entitlement to public space. I begin the paper with an exploration of the extant literature relating to cycling, citizenship and public space, arguing that provoking responsibility can add to such literature on individual and collective cycling mobilities…
Precarious entitlement to public space & utility cycling in Dublin
Diverse social science research investigating the experience of cycling mobilities in relation to driving mobilities strongly indicates that matters of spatial entitlement are a central theme in the confluence (and conflict) of these mobilities, particularly in car-dominated contexts. However, while the experience of this meeting of mobilities from a cyclist point of view has been well addressed in an empirical and evocative manner, there appears…

A Thin Beam of Light
To quote one of its own phrases, Tom Stoppard's first major work is gathering weight as it goes on.' While we have been variously intrigued and entertained by The Real Inspector Hound, Jumpers, and Travesties, considered responses to these plays are still being formed. Yet Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is apparently finding a stable place in our shared opinion. Now over ten years old, the play is still very much with us, as its many recen…
