Elm Row is just a car-centric mess now. Could have been one of the nicest bits of public realm in Edinburgh.

X, Grok, Musk cannot be trusted to provide reliable, accurate information. British government and MPs should not be on the platform.

Carmageddon on Elm Row - echelon parking in the parallel parking encroaching on cycleway; parking in crossing area; parking on footway outside shops. This is supposed to be a place for people not a car park! Why no wardens? How about some signs to guide drivers?? @jackrmcaldwell.bsky.social

First time riding along with @infrasisters.bsky.social through #edinburgh. Was great, would recommend. 5/5 : )

We ride for safer streets for everyone. This month we are riding to Lochend to draw attention to the Living Rent campaign for safer streets. www.livingrent.org/give_lochend...

1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵

Here's the route for tomorrow's ride down to Portobello!

The good news - the first two bikes are here 🎉. The bad - £0.11/min + £0.49 unlock fee. Which is £3.79 per 30 minutes, whereas everywhere else the first 30 minutes are free on city bikes. I know these are electric, but why ONLY electric? #edinburgh #voi #edinburghcitybikes #cycling

Trump is trying to force the EU to legalize US car bloat, and European safety leaders are furious: "Europe now risks being flooded with oversized, under-regulated U.S. pick-up trucks and SUVs – vehicles that are...completely out of step with Europe’s vision for safer, more sustainable mobility."

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

This is the way.

One of the delightful things about Critical Mass is seeing all the different kinds of bikes. Electric and acoustic. Trikes and tandems. But this particular ride is delightful because if the weather is good we'll stop out for ice cream at Portobello!

Join the emergency protest ride! CM veterans will be helping marshall.

As we watch Keir Starmer and his team expand NHS privatisation, please remember that he was elected to become Labour leader saying specifically that he would remove NHS private outsourcing. He then quietly dropped this pledge in Summer 2022. This isn’t OK 🚨

Hey, @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social, can something be done about the constant obstruction of walking and cycling paths? Short walk and 3 examples today… people with prams must go on the street to avoid blocked pavements & cars on Elm Row damage walking spaces : / #edinburgh #cycling #walking #safety

2 pussies in public.

This month's route is out! A longer one this time, so we'll be taking a wee break in Saughton Park. See you on Saturday at 2pm on Middle Meadow Walk!

lol, onion for the kill : )

"Ultra-processed" has never been a meaningful term, and mostly used for pro-Big Corp pseudoscience. Some definitions of "ultra-processed" end up with tofu on the Bad list. Plain, untouched, unflavoured tofu. Because processes.

For anyone thinking of voting Reform these comments are very illuminating. 🧵

This month, we're riding out to Saughton Park! Join us on Middle Meadow Walk at 2pm this Saturday to ride for safer streets.

I spent months on this investigation and gathered docs from the UK courts, Land Registry and a French local authority, to show that Raynor and Moth Winn's story is not as they claim. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social @observeruk.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with their story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. The Salt Path became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film. But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth. @chloehadj.bsky.social Read more:

We can allow history to repeat itself, and powerful interests to shape our streets in one way. Or we can remember that cities are places where walking, cycling and public transport should be prioritised. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Ask stickers are restocked. Thanks for the patience.

On the one hand, such mockery is well earned. On the other, it could very well drive him completely insane, and he still controls the nuclear button.

A longer ride this month as the weather gets warmer - we're off down to Newhaven! As always, meet Saturday 31st, 2pm, Middle Meadow Walk.

Sir Keir is right: Britain is an impoverished island of strangers, and we have been for some time. But scapegoating immigrants won’t fix that, nor will policy built on deceit to accommodate prejudice. Only massive investment in social infrastructure will. My latest for @heraldscotland.bsky.social

This is horrifying to read. Ffs…

Car dominance isn’t about safety or utility, it’s a bloated industry pushing bigger, deadlier machines under the guise of "freedom". Meanwhile, pedestrians and cyclists are told to "gear up" for their own survival. This is systemic violence, disguised as choice.

So here it is… #gaza #israel #genocide news.sky.com/story/israel...
