“Every year, we unleash this scourge on the countryside." Brilliant to see David Attenborough address the enormous impact of pheasants (for shooting) and cats (people's pets) on native wildlife and ecosystems. These are *crucial* conversations. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

#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.

A lot less cars at Flora Stevenson school drop off during the weekly bike bus. Look at all those kids on bikes! Having a #bikebus means healthier happier kids & parents with less pollution and traffic congestion. @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk @coachbalto.bsky.social @edi.bike

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

In case anyone is wondering what all the red markings are for running along the length of the Union Canal tow path, there is a survey of underground services being carried out by Mackenzie Construction on behalf of Scottish Canals in relation to the towpath widening project.

These high viz vests will be making their way to the wonderful #bikebus marshalls of #edinburgh. Thank you @spokes.org.uk for funding 50 vests! @edi.bike @edinreporter.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social @blackfordsaferoutes.co.uk

Great to see more surface improvements happening at Bridge 11 on the #Canal towpath in #Edinburgh this morning. #CyclingInEdinburgh #CyclingToWork

Super turnout and lovely Spring day for today’s bike bus Fab seeing the kids energised and ready for the best start to the school day Bike bus! Bike bus!

Oxgangs Primary swelling the ranks at yesterday’s Hailes Quarry Junior Parkrun. 95 children completed the 2k circuit. Fabulous! Good habits start early. 👍👍

I finally got around to framing the first of two devastating attacks by @mathieuvanderpoel at the @uci world champs in #glasgow in #2023 . #sportsart #sportsphotos . As a cycling fan witnessing the beast attack is something I'll never forget.

New #bikebus day. Parents at St Peter's Primary in Edinburgh have set up a second bike bus route to the school. This route runs from the Braids down hill all the way. @coachbalto.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk @cyclinguk.bsky.social @edi.bike @edinreporter.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social

Hi @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social can there be a review of the machines used to sweep cycle lanes. For years now all they do is move the dirt to the center of the lane. It renders them a hazard and forces cyclists on to the road. Thanks @edi.bike @spokes.org.uk @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social

This looks like a Finn Russell entertainment show at The Theatre of Dreams. @bathvoicenews.bsky.social What a great venue to watch #rugby

A pedestrian bridge would certainly be preferable to the white line protecting pedestrians here.

Happy 2026!

That's a wrap for this year. Hundreds of less cars at drop off across the city of Edinburgh during 2025 and beyond every Thursday and Friday. Find out more at bikebus.org/edinburgh/ @corstpsbikebus.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike @coachbalto.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social

There was a dash for snacks after the #bikebus this morning @coachbalto.bsky.social @edi.bike @spokes.org.uk

I watched yesterday's webinar on this subject, and it really does feel like a whole new frontier of exciting possibilities and potential is opening up in how we grow food, and how that impacts on the natural world. Hope at a time when it's in short supply!
