It’s Bike Week and the twitternets are alive with photos and videos of all sorts of things in cycle lanes, that is apart from bikes !
The #FreeTheCycleLanes Twitter campaign ( although I had suggested the hashtag #WhoseLaneIsItAnyway 🙂 ) was initiated by a number of cyclists backed by Dublin Cycling Campaign in order to highlight the extent of illegal blocking and obstruction of cycle lanes throughout the country.
I put together a webpage that displays the most recent tweets tagged with #FreeTheCycleLanes and which contain photos or video content.
You can check out out the feed here freethecyclelanes.vool.ie or if you are looking for something similar for your own hashtag campaign you can grab the source code.
If you find cycle lanes illegally blocked be sure to tweet details tagging them with #FreeTheCycleLanes.
The videos in the feed are animated by my PreViewTube jQuery plugin.
Update 23rd June 2015
