@pedalonparliament.org Planning done for tomorrow. We hope to catch the Wester Hailes Feeder Ride. That's it for today. #PoP26 @magnatom.bsky.social @geologiser.bsky.social @bearswayfriends.bsky.social

Bikes loaded. Off we go. Into Scottish drizzle.

@pedalonparliament.org #pop26 Almost ready to start from Bearsden to Edinburgh. We will start today, so we are not rushed to be there in time tomorrow with a break in Linlithgow. @bearswayfriends.bsky.social @geologiser.bsky.social

Pedal on Parliament T-Shirts arrived. We plan to cycle to Edinburgh again (from Bearsden). Hardest part is reaching the canal. Might go the day before to not have to start that early (again)... @magnatom.bsky.social @geologiser.bsky.social @bearswayfriends.bsky.social #pop26 @pedalonparliament.org

Second year I made a small calendar on the state of the active travel infrastructure here in Bearsden. Would be funny if it wouldn't be so sad. @sturmyarcher3.bsky.social @magnatom.bsky.social @geologiser.bsky.social @bearswayfriends.bsky.social @kennymunro.bsky.social #activetravelbearsden

Ok, attempted to solve two separate problems on two bikes. Hit stumbling blocks on both. Time to rethink and have a coffee...

I have got a theory, that when they would get their tyres dirty, it's acceptable to be parking completely on the street, but otherwise you rather ruin the pavement in Bearsden. #badparkingbearsden So a strip of lawn (or mud at the moment) between pavement and street leads to good parking.

I think, a small group of Fairies has settled down in the Mains plantation in Bearsden... Three or four so far....
