The price tag to upgrade the entire UK to cheap, clean energy is £319 billion. That’s just 8 times what the UK Gov had to spend capping rocketing gas prices in winter 2022/3 👇 Instead of pouring money away propping up yesterday’s dirty tech and wrecking our home, why not invest for a better future?

Why not make it possible to drive to but not through? Make it a better place to spend time in rather than just focusing on one part of the bigger problem?

🎉 The East Area ETRO has been agreed to make permanent! And, moments later, so have the North and West Area Travelling Safely schemes. Many thanks to everyone who joined us and @spokes.org.uk in calling for scrutiny on this process and calling for sense to prevail at the TRO Sub-Committee.

Incredibly pleased to see that the council has officially made the East Area segregated cycle lanes permanent! 🎉 Thank you to @edi.bike, @spokes.org.uk and everybody who spoke up and pushed hard when this crucial infrastructure was under threat.

A bit of a no-brainer here - and could (if done right) potentially be extended from Porty to Leith on *existing* infra with minimal disruption. There's a whole train line that could in theory be linked to main trams just off Ocean Drive. A thought. chng.it/SyYH9rRXr2

George square. Enormous skip with lots of other plastic grass being thrown out 🤯 How is this responsible?!

👍 Great @edi.bike story re 'TRO Subcttee,' a questionable setup not seen in other councils --> edi.bike/articles/202... 🤔 Instead of Transport Cttee, TRO Sub decides the fate of #TravellingSafely (bollarded) schemes, the start of #Edinburgh's future main-road 🚲network @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social

Paging Edinburgh Council

Police Scotland latest stats are out and still not managing to break that magical 10 per day mark for mobile phone offences. Pretty sure you could go to any fairly busy junction in Edinburgh and catch more than 10 in an hour.

Cops saying what they say all the time while seeing no results instead of actually doing anything to take dangerous drivers off the road again. They usually wait for the clocks going back to wheel out this annual bollocks

*Our new LTN paper out today* Do 'boundary road' junctions with minor roads get safer when minor roads are filtered (i.e. closed to through-traffic)? We tested this using police-reported casualty data (2012–24) from 113 London Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) introduced between 2015–24. 1/

It would be nice if the festival - Summer and Winter were cleared away as quickly in our parks as it is in our parking spaces

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!

The weekend weather forecast looks fabulous and Edinburgh Outdoors have a podcast walking the Roseburn Path. With the tram consultation opening on Monday, this would be a great time to explore the space at risk. podfollow.com/edinburgh-ou...

The planned route for tonight's ride with highlights where the accidents happened

"Thomas himself had “failed to carry out sufficient observations” before crossing"" Always good to attribute some of the responsibility onto the poor dead child, rather than putting it all on the shoulders of the phone fiddling, hgv driving adult child killer. road.cc/content/news...

An alternative (albeit not quite as direct route for some) to avoid dangers like this would be the Roseburn Path www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinbur...

There’s been three crashes involving a driver hitting a cycling this August. They happened in the same week. This is unacceptable. We’re riding in protest of Edinburgh’s indifference toward cyclists this Friday 22nd August at 7pm. Meet at Middle Meadow Walk. Tell and bring everyone you know

Councillors and politicians will be held liable for road deaths if they undo safety improvements 👏👏👏 Cllr Kevin Lang…?

A bit of drizzle and a fresh breeze this morning and all these alpha male types seem to have thankfully disappeared back to their heated seats of their cars

Public service announcement for all the roadie men currently bombing around shared paths close passing everyone. Put the bike away and get back in your Teslas/BMWs/Audis and leave the paths safe, quiet and pleasant for the rest of us. Thank you

Attempted bike robbery near Meadowbank, half an hour ago:

Following research into tram and cycle safety on Princes Street, I wanted to share snaps into three eras of historical use. Cable trams came to Edinburgh in 1888, at the same time as the safety bicycle. They were removed in 1956, as the popularity of the private motor car overtook the bicycle. [1/4]

Meanwhile, Edinburgh has it's third consultation if they should keep a shit bike lane they put in five years ago

Here's your first look at tomorrow's front page 📰 One-fifth of wealth in hands of richest 2% 💰

Silverknowes Road being returned to cars and car parking after a typically disingenuous campaign by the Edinburgh Liberal Democrats. Never let those lying sellouts tell you they give a shit about carbon reduction, climate change, active travel or road safety.
