Old Craighall Gate to Dalkeith Country Park is now open for walking, wheeling and cycling! If you use this gate please stick to the 10mph speed limit though I know the thrill seekers among you may wish to go faster on the gravel hills (I didn’t, on this bike…) - working farm and all that 🐴🐄🦙🐣

Haha! It worked! I scoped out the angle this morning and figured I’d be very lucky to pull it off, but it was surely worth a try, eh? #Edinburgh #RedArrows #Photography

The path at the North end of the Edinburgh Arena Construction site is now fenced off, doesn't seem like the contractors have made any effort to signpost this. Diversion up the steep offroad steps up to the Station or right via South Gyle Crescent seem to the options. #edtravcyc

Edinburgh’s cycle hire scheme is set to launch in August despite delay concerns  Edinburgh’s cycle hire scheme is still set for a ‘soft launch’ in August, despite concerns that it would be delayed and with no operator yet in place. A small number of dockless electric hire bikes are expected to be…

Ferry Road westbound segregated cycle lanes CLOSED tomorrow (Wed 30th july) from 9:30am to 7am the following morning between E Fettes Ave and Crewe Rd (opposite the Morrisons) #EdTravCyc

♟️ New bollards being installed on the Lawnmarket in #Edinburgh - hopefully they’ll improve pedestrian safety in a busy area. Things of beauty - still in their wrapper @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social! @spokes.org.uk @livingstreetsedi.bsky.social @edi.bike Just in time for #EdFringe.

OIL WARNING #EdTravCyc on the cut-through between Kings Haugh and Forkenford/Innocent/Duddingston Road W. There's also a hi-viz ute parked to create a pinch point with a lamppost.

We're heading to Haymarket! Meet 2pm this Saturday on Middle Meadow Walk to ride for safer streets. The ride will end at the Edinburgh Climate Festival on the Meadows! www.elrec.org.uk/edinburgh-cl...

George St bus jam… would it be easier if Queen St was the diversion route for buses if Princes St is closed?

@spokes.org.uk Update on this is that the barriers have now been removed by the contractor on after ELC contacted them on 10th June and the tarmac will be resurfaced w/c 14th July. Thanks to Balfour Beatty for sharing the drone shot of the works 🚁 📸!

Leith Walk cycle lane solstice update: around 3% year-on-year growth in cycle journeys this year. A significant slowing in growth compared with 2024, which was 57% higher than 2023 by this time in the year. The busiest day was 13th May with 2,056 cyclists; 260,000 cycle journeys so far in total.

Good to see Cala promoting cycle times to their new housing development in Blackford… 😉 Shame no longer Scotrail adverts 🥲@edsouthsub.bsky.social

@spokes.org.uk confusing new Zebra marks added to the pelican crossing to the top of Elm Row. Surely an error as can’t be both? No other pelicans on Leith Walk have zebras at cycleway crossings. @livingstreetsedi.bsky.social @showmeasign.online any thoughts?

You used to be able to cycle straight ahead here but with the new business park at QMU comes a new access road, where cars are the priority of course. Sigh. @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike @eastlothiancouncil.bsky.social

Firstly, whenever there's a bus stop, the cycle lane just disappears

A simple urban planning motto to live by. The best way to enforce the rules of the road isn’t through signage telling people what is and isn’t allowed, it’s through the design of the streets themselves intuitively informing and enforcing the desired outcomes.

Elm Row bidirectional cycleway space to east of tree line and bus stops now complete. Signage, bollards and markings pending but think this will be much better before. @spokes.org.uk

@scottishwater.bsky.social good to see the works on the storm sewer in Marchmont ending but any chance you can make good the couple of metres of path left abandoned please? @livingstreetsedi.bsky.social Also assume the vent pipe is getting a cast iron cover as looks rubbish? Thanks

Lovely to see this new deck / walkway at Cramond… but is it not a bit of a #AccessibilityFail? Like why are there steps if meant to allow more access for all abilities? 🙄 Seems to be shorter than the drawing on here. www.elgt.org.uk/projects/gre...

There are lots of modal filters in Edinburgh. Why is the council so determined to remove the 3 in the Braid Estate (highlighted yellow) at a cost of c£400k so that around 4,000 more drivers can speed through our residential streets?

This is a great watch. It gets better and better.. Brilliant www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZk2...

Here is your periodic reminder that Canmore is soon to be switched off. Please look at Canmore's replacement www.trove.scot and feedback your comments on functionality, using the feedback form, while you still can.

“Supporting Modal” 🤔? Anyone understand this advert for Levenmouth Rail Link at Edinburgh Waverley. Surely modal “shift” is being supported?

A bit of odd path narrowing on the John Muir Way at the Prestonpans end of the Musselburgh Ash Lagoons. Already broken at one end. Anyone know why it has been installed? #EdTravCyc

Holyrood Park EMF road closures from 5pm next Friday 23rd of May until late on the Sunday will prohibit cycles. The offroad shared use cyclepath in Holyrood Park will remain open, however it will be necessary to dismount to access it. #EdTravCyc @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike

Port Hamilton Cyclepath between Union Canal and West End now closed until 2026/27 for building works. Look out for diversion signs with the number 7 for cycle diversion. #edTravCyc @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike

Bike racks nearly full at local supermarket. And that’s with zero bike lanes. The people don’t want to drive. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social imagine the modal shift you could achieve with protected active travel lanes?

🏞️ Do you use Holyrood Park for commuting or leisure? Do you want to make a difference to the space and work with likeminded folk? Come along on Monday! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/holyrood-p...

New Edinburgh bike hire scheme to run from August A new bike hire scheme will be launched in the capital by August to replace a version that collapsed almost four years ago. Edinburgh Council is set to decide between two operators, Dott and Lime – and the scheme would cost the city nothing.…

Four years after the previous - well-used - scheme collapsed, Edinburgh appears to be about to finally get a bike hire scheme restored www.scotsman.com/news/transpo...

!! The TEC report makes *very* clear that the top determinant of how many 🚲👩‍🦽🚶projects happen is ScotGovt AT cash --> democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s8... 😧 which is in danger --> bsky.app/profile/spok... 🙋‍♀️ Please keep reminding your MSPs & in consultns --> bsky.app/profile/did:...

Thanks for the update Jack. Given this is the busiest cycle lane in the country, could a clearly marked through-route please be put in place?

Typical incorrect use of the ableist 'cyclist dismount' sign that needs to be banned. Cycle lane closed by signs telling you so... 🤔

Indeed a simple diversion using the closed Elm Row carriageway for cycling both ways could be easy to sign. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social please fix. @spokes.org.uk

Brontë country to become protected national nature reserve

Figures revealed by @edinburghgreens.bsky.social show that more than two thirds of Edinburgh's walking, wheeling & cycling projects are delayed. We're calling for urgent council action to get them back on track.

Shandon, Edinburgh residents are holding a protest about road safety, delays to a long-awaited pedestrian crossing and tackling speeding. It will take place at 5.00pm on Wednesday 7th May (junction of Ashley Terrace/Harrison Gardens).
