#bikebus marshalls at Parsons Green school looking great in their new high viz. @spokes.org.uk . The city will see more and more of these vests in the city in the coming weeks. Soon more drivers will know what a bike bus. Awareness is slowly increasing.

⚠️ Officers 'Late Report' on options for the Greenbank to Meadows quiet route was just published. democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/b2...

I’ve had lots of contact about the Greenbank-Meadows Quiet Route 🚲 recently following the Standards Commission decision to censure two Cllrs over their participation in previous decision-making about the route 🙅‍♂️🗺️📍 At Thursday’s Transport committee I will be presenting proposals for next steps ⤵️

Let’s hope this time the TEC puts the safety of local residents who walk, wheel and cycle in the Braid Estate ahead of the additional 4,000 drivers that were expected to return to our residential streets had the 2024 vote been implemented. It should save £££s too!

We have done endless listening but it never stops the anger. Ultimately effective politicians need to be prepared to stand up for what is right in the face of people who will bitterly oppose them. 2/

Elm Row update: bollards now protecting cycleway, but halfway point intended as pedestrian space is both being parked on, and also that parking is still encroaching on cycleway. Needs street furniture and / or bollards on sides & carriageway end, like this end area. /cc @jackrmcaldwell.bsky.social

It's clear it must come back - the integrity of the process has been shown to be completely compromised. Key Q now is will Labour reverse its dreadful position of voting with Tories & Lib Dems to rip out measures protecting kids travelling safely to & from school? If they don't this means nowt.

Delighted to see Water of Leith path between Saughton Park and Murrayfield open again following Scottish Water works. Saves an annoying detour over the bridge! #EdTravCyc

In light of this decision my Transport & Environment Committee will now have to revisit the vote taken on the Braids Estate LTN. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/two-edi...

Dear Love to Ride copywriters, can you lay off the energy drinks plz

It's essential that the decision to rip out the quiet route is now revisited. I have written to senior council officers to request this.

This demonstrates that the vote to rip out the modal filters and other active travel measures in the Braid estate was not only unjustifiable, but also arrived at by a tainted process which must now surely be revisited.

Here was me thinking the congestion was due to all that extra driving! (DfT Stats roadtraffic.dft.gov.uk/local-author...)

⚠️ Today, Standards Commission hearing (Councillors Neil Ross & Marie-Clair Munro) found both had breached the Councillor code of conduct for failing to declare they lived by the Braid Estate when dealing w/ Greenbank to Meadows Quiet Route, including their votes to remove effective traffic filtering

Are the "congestion-causing" bike lanes in the room with us right now? 🔮 🫠

Someone handily pointed out to me after a previous incident that it counts as an 'emergency' for council cleaning team if you highlight glass on the path as a threat to safety. Contact below.

Also been trying to roll stolen bikes down embankment into people, stepping out in front and trying to throw/scoosh water (I think) out of bottles and launching logs off the Stedfastgate parapet onto people cycling below. Bunch of little idiots all in black tracksuits who think they are hilarious

Kids have been smashing glass on the path to halt cyclists, then throwing bottles down on them when they dismount - https://www.reddit.com/r/Edinburgh/s/aY4Od652e2 #EdTravCyc

Still possible to get past the roadworks on Forrest Rd at National Cycle Route 1 & 75. Scottish Water and the council have advised that cyclists are to follow the diversion or dismount. #EdTravCyc

We are still stuck on this idea that congestion, i.e. traffic jams, is caused other than by too much traffic, or too little road space. Continuing to give the least efficient means of moving people an automatic pass in the equation of who gets the limited road space is not the solution.

Asked about cycleways supposedly slowing buses. Bus speed data fished out by @maxsullivan.bsky.social (my graph) shows the biggest change to bus speeds was during the pandemic, when people drove their cars less. NB Camden's bike lanes didn't go away too... movepeople.substack.com/p/do-cycle-l...
