In the end, 30 votes were in favour of and 7 against the Dún Laoghaire Living Streets project. This was after a council meeting that ran into nearly 2am. The Living Streets proposal was debated for around 8 hours and included 26 motions seeking to adjust the scheme. Eventually, a clear majority of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown councillors supported the project at 1.43am. Key parts of the now approved proposals include the pedestrianisation of 220m George’s Street Lower and modal filters on a number of streets in the town The modal filters are planned for Tivoli Road, Cross Avenue, and Clarinda Park West. The filters’ purpose is to block rat-running traffic and make more streets low-traffic, thus making them safer and more attractive for walking and cycling while allowing car access. Officials repeatedly clarified tonight that emergency vehicles will be able to cross the modal filters and access George’s Street when pedestrianised. At around 12.30am, Cllr Jim Gildea (FG) said that the Green Party and anybody who supports public transport should support his motion. The reality of his motion, however, would be to remove the daytime pedestrianisation of George’s St. The motion failed — 7 in favour and 30 against. Before that, there were two motions to remove the planned modal filters on Tivoli Road. Frank Curran, the chief executive of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, said that the modal filter is an essential part of the Living Streets scheme and also the cycle network for the area. There would be a significant risk of losing funding if the modal filter was removed from the project. Cllr Mary Fayne (FG) and Cllr Justin Moylan (FF) are putting forward motions to remove the modal filter on Tivoli Road. It is the key part of the plan besides the pedestrianisation of George’s Street.Cllr Mary Fayne said it’s an “arterial road” and “distributor road.” Cllr Michael Clark, who seconded Cllr Moylan’s motion, agreed it’s a main road. Cllr Melisa Halpin (PBP) said there’s a better option — which, in her view, is to mix people cycling with what her fellow councillors called an arterial road. Cllr Maurice Dockrell (FG) said it’s “blackmail” for funding to be possibly withdrawn if councillors decide to remove a key part of the project. He said that the road can be made safe for cycling to mix with traffic and, seconds later, he said that the street a distributor road. Cllr Lorraine Hall (FG) said the population of the area is growing and councillors are fooling themselves if they think doing nothing will improve traffic. Making it safer to cycle will take cars off the road. Cllr Dave Quinn (SocDems) said he has counted over 700 emails on the issue — he said he regrets that some people in cars will have longer trips but that climate change requires action. Cllr Tom Kivlehan (Greens) said change is difficult but that he wants to see children to be able to have the freedom he had when he was a child by being able to safely cycle. A low traffic street will help provide that, he said. He said that Dún Laoghaire is the county’s zero emission zone, which all councillors voted on. And he added that leadership is needed. Cllr Oisín O’Connor (Greens) said he cannot blame parents who drive children to school because it’s currently unsafe with narrow footpaths. He said it’s up to councillors to make it safer and, when they do, more people will walk their children to school. Cllr Peter O’Brien (Labour) challenged the idea that car access would be blocked. He also picked up the idea that the road has been open since before cars and said that the difference between years ago is the volume of cars now on our roads. A motion to retain more car parking as part of the Clarinda Park proposals, which centred around expanding the park and joining it up better with George’s Street, was accepted without a vote after another motion which looked for even more car parking failed. Cllr Hugh Lewis (independent) said it’s patronising to say change is hard. He said that he’s all in favour of change, but only change that “suits everyone” who uses the road. Cllr Moylan attacked the council executive for what he called being arrogant and aggressive but was quickly stopped by Cllr Denis O’Callaghan, the Cathaoirleach of the council, for being out of order. Cllr Moylan was annoyed that officials implied that councillors might be unwilling to make hard decisions. Cllr Moylan was looking for a report on alternatives directly after being told there are none for Tivoli Road. Conor Geraghty, a senior engineer, outlined several times during the meeting how Tivoli Road doesn’t have space for cycle tracks in both directions, and nor does it have space for a two-way cycle path and one-way traffic for motorists. It has the space for a contra-flow cycle path and people cycling with-flow to mix with motor traffic, but Geraghty said that the volume of traffic is too high to mix people cycling with motorists. The council said a shuttle bus is to be trialled in Dún Laoghaire by the council regardless of the outcome of the vote for Living Streets. Councillors also voted for motions supporting the shuttle bus or their trialling. Correction: Cllr Hugh Lewis was marked as being a member of People Before Profit (PBP), he is no longer a member and that had been changed in the above text to reflect such.

A pair of shoes for all adventure occasions? The Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik shoes are designed with bikepacking and outdoor adventures in mind. They should perform on the bike, but, above all, they should also look the part and be waterproof thanks to GORE-TEX. Does this really make them bikepacking shoes? PEdALED Fizik Terra Ergolace GTX I Weight: 842 g (/pair, size 45) I Preis: € 210.00 I Manufacturer’s website If you’re truly passionate, you push AND ride, at least on exploration tours and adventure rides. In those scenarios, getting off the bike and pushing isn’t uncommon, and even considered part of the adventure. Sometimes you must get off the bike because the path on the navigation system isn’t a path in real life, or simply because the climb is too steep to ride with all your luggage. Or, of course, to grab a cup of coffee or a gelato at an ice-cream parlour. Setting up camp for the night, lighting the campfire, and pouring the boiling water over your instant meal also requires you to be quick on your feet. Wouldn’t life be so much easier and convenient if you had a pair of shoes for all these and more situations, on and off the bike, without having to carry a second pair? Best buddy boots? That’s precisely what the Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik bikepacking shoes promise to be. The collaboration between the two brands PEdALED and Fizik is intended to ensure both functionality and style. Thanks to waterproof GORE-TEX membranes on the outside, and grippy Vibram rubber soles on the bottom, they also promise to be the perfect shoes for all sorts of adventures. Can the Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik shoes make bikepacking life easier, or are they a bad fit? Wet outside, dry inside – The features of the PEdALED Fizik Ergolace GTX shoes The PEdALED Fizik Ergolace GTX shoes are based on the Fizik Terra Ergolace GTX model, which is constructed in a very similar way. Abrasion-resistant materials should serve as protective toe caps. The rest of the surface consists of a three-layer, waterproof, and breathable GORE-TEX membrane. The thick climbing rope style shoelaces run along the outside of the tongue. There are finger loops at the back to make them easier to slip into. An X2 outsole with an aggressive, directional tread and non-slip Vibram rubber compound is designed to offer a secure and comfortable footing when walking off-road. Like when you’re pushing or carrying your bike. With a stiffness index of 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, the bikepacking shoes tend to be on the softer side of the spectrum. The loops help! The finger loops are very helpful when putting the shoes on and taking them off. Pedal on the easy side: With a stiffness index of 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, these Fizik bike shoes are on the softer side of the spectrum. The shoes are compatible with SPD pedal systems. Aggressive knobs ensure plenty of grip when walking off-road. Hike a bike and/or bikepacking? What are the Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik shoes for? It’s immediately evident that the Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik shoes aren’t made for racing, although the weight of 842 g per pair in size 45 (without cleats) certainly is respectable. In direct comparison, thoroughbred road bike shoes with carbon soles are only about 330 g lighter. And for € 210.00, the Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik shoes don’t break the bank either. In terms of looks, the bikepacking shoes are somewhere between hiking and trekking shoes, but cool looking. The intended use is clearly aimed at going off-road with hike-a-bike sections. In principle, they’re the ideal shoes for relaxed bikepacking tours that aren’t big on performance, but big on adventure. They cut an equally fine figure on coffee rides, where you spend just as much time on the bike as in the café. It doesn’t matter whether you’re riding a mountain, gravel or even all-road bike. Considering their casual look, the Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik shoes could also serve commuters. Due to their water-repellent uppers, the shoes aren’t primarily made for the summer. They’re ideal for spring and autumn, in a temperature range between 10 and 25 degrees. The Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik bikepacking shoes in review Like many bike components, shoes are a matter of taste and fit. What pleases some doesn’t necessarily suit others, and vice versa. In our opinion, these bikepacking shoes make a good impression. They’ve got a smart and very high-quality look, almost reminiscent of trail running shoes, though a bit chunkier. Nobody would notice that you’re wearing cycling shoes if you had to wear these day to day. However, the large GORE-TEX logo on the insides of the shoes is very prominent. Slipping into them is easy and quick. However, tying the laces is a bit slower compared to the Boa system, so they’re not the type of bikepacking shoes that you can slip on, tighten, and go. The fit is relatively snug. It’s absolutely fine for narrower feet. However, things can get a bit tight when you’ve got wide feet, especially if you wear the shoes for a long time. The toe box in particular has a very limited amount of room. The sizing corresponds to about that of standard sneakers, but those with wide feet should go up by at least half a size. The Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik shoes feel relatively light on your feet, which is mainly due to the light uppers. You can clearly feel the thick sole, especially when walking. The longer you wear them, the more comfortable they become to walk in. On a scale of 0 (super soft) to 10 (rock solid), the soles feel like a 6 when walking, even though the indicated stiffness index is 3. Nevertheless, they feel good to walk in, especially off-road and in slippery conditions. The shoes provide a lot of comfort and grip in these conditions. The round shoelaces look nice… … but they must be secured with the elastic tab provided since they have a knack of coming loose. The shoes feel absolutely solid on the pedals. They don’t give the impression of super efficient shoes for a sprint to the finish. For that, the uppers are too soft, and the soles have noticeably more give than on high-performance road cycling shoes. The PEdALED Fizik shoes feel more comfortable just cruising and rolling along at a leisurely pace. That said, the soles are sufficiently stiff to put plenty of power down on the pedals, though the uppers feel more like in sneakers and therefore loose. The Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik shoes are only partially suitable for really bad weather despite the GORE-TEX membrane. Due to the low cut at the ankles, water can easily get into the shoes from above. This is the case even if you wear rain pants because they usually don’t go over the sides of the shoes. You would need additional gaiters or waterproof socks. The second minus point goes to the great looking yet impractical laces. Due to their round shape, they allow knots to come undone relatively quickly, and they can’t be secured 100 percent. As such, you absolutely must tuck them into the elastic tab on the tongue. On the other hand, they’re very pliant and easily conform to the shape of your feet. Like water off a duck’s back! The GORE-TEX membrane makes a noticeable difference, keeping the shoes waterproof from the outside. However, water easily gets into the shoes from above and from the side, even if you’re wearing pants. Our conclusion on the Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik bikepacking shoes The Terra Ergolace GTX PEdALED x Fizik are high-quality and practical bikepacking shoes with a special look. Despite GORE-TEX, they are only partially suitable for wet weather applications since they’re cut too low. They’re ideal as all-rounders for commuting or on bikepacking tours. For use cases like these, the fit could be even more relaxed. Nevertheless, they’re stylish cycling shoes that cut a fine figure both on and off the bike.

There are one hundred days left until LaStelvioSantini, the Valtellina event on June 2, 2024, will kick off the new format. Just a few days left to take advantage of the reduced rate, which will be extended for women until March 8 as a promotion dedicated to International Women’s Day. Photocredit LaStelvioSantini_ ©Erika Pasin (1) The countdown to LaStelvioSantini has officially begun: on June 2, 2024, the streets of Bormio will be filled with thousands of cyclists ready to tackle the three completely renewed routes with the goal of conquering the Stelvio Pass. There are therefore one hundred days left to the new format, which includes changes to the ranking system, where almost all the time trials will be eliminated, except for the classic and final ascent from Bormio to the Stelvio Pass. Substantial changes have also been made to the routes, due to important road maintenance works in view of the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics, as the Valtellina will host alpine skiing, snowboarding, and freestyle events. The two cornerstones common to all routes remain unchanged, the start from Bormio and the finish at 2,757 meters at the Stelvio Pass. All participants will climb through the streets of Sondalo (a 2-kilometer ascent), and those who have chosen the Medium and Long routes will also face the new climb from Vervio to Rogorbello (3.2 kilometers), and to reach Bormio, they will have to tackle the San Bartolomeo ascent (3.5 kilometers). The steep ascent to the Guspessa Mortirolo Pass (10.75 kilometers) remains for those who choose the most challenging option of the event. All routes will undergo a change in length: the long route becomes 130 kilometers with 4,270 meters of elevation gain; the medium route is 108 kilometers with an elevation gain of 3,050 meters, and finally, the short route remains confirmed at 64 kilometers with 2,280 meters of elevation gain. Registrations are open on the website lastelviosantini.com, with a reduced registration fee until February 29, 2024, after which the standard rate for men will take effect. For all women, the offer will instead be extended until March 8, 2024, on the occasion of International Women’s Day. This initiative dedicated to the female audience is a gesture to encourage greater participation from a group that is usually underrepresented.
