#Musselburgh #Fisherrow path month-long closure 16 Nov - 19 Dec Also🚶bridge closed, so🚶will use 🚲 Electric Bridge -> tellmescotland.gov.uk/tellmescot/p... @edi.bike @urchaidh.bsky.social @johnrobson87.bsky.social @shona-mcintosh.bsky.social @mrjasonrose.bsky.social @eastlothiancouncil.bsky.social

As darkness falls and the temperature drops, the herd huddles together for safety and warmth.

The Voi Bike have started their winter migration to Leith.

Meanwhile, in Scotland...

What about the poor folk of York, who face the prospect of hundreds of Liberal Democrats being put up in hotels in their communities early next year?

🚳Watch out if you like a cycle along Fisherrow Links in Musselburgh - the path from the Electric Bridge to the pumping station, past the skate ramp is closed to bikes due to Scottish Water works until mid-Dec. Easy alternative via New St. On foot, you can still get through. @spokes.org.uk

Car park at the east end of The Pencaitland Railway Path has been closed. This is on NCN196, and while the gap in the blocks looks wide enough maintain access, a third parked car was pulling away as I arrived which I suspect would have been blocking it for all but pedestrians and two wheeled bikes.

I hereby declare war on premature Christmassing. Any shop caught doing this before 1st December must be shut down and turned into affordable housing. Choose sanity. Vote Binface. (Photo dated 9th October 2025)

Liquidator of Bross Bagels confirms determined effort to recover director’s loans has proved futile – file closed! Biggest loser is UK taxpayer – left with £635,000 tab in unpaid VAT, PAYE and National Insurance theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2025/10/bros...

[Jeff Goldblum voice] infrastructure, uh, finds a way.

It is with sadness that Stevie Carr has to announce that the Dnipro Kids minibus was stolen last week from Seaview/Edinburgh Road at Joppa. The registration in BL15FUH and if anyone has seen it, or can remember seeing it elsewhere over the past week, please get in touch. Please share.

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

It's absolutely insane to us that anyone still uses Twitter. You don't have to. You can just stop. It was a *massive* part of our growth but you can just let it go. However important your business is to you, it's less important than this:

Mobile cinema, #Porty Prom.

Sadly, the bollards do not appear to have deterred the selfish bastards at all.

My new book of cartoons is out soon. I am bringing it to SPX/BETHESDA TORONTO, NEW YORK, CHICAGO, MONTREAL and QUEBEC CITY starting this weekend! Visit www.tomgauld.com for more details and preorder links!

[Serious face] And this is where BUT MY CAR leads.

Given last weeks pathetic rumours and racist ranting about a local hotel (you can guess!), any suggestion that people would be heading to Porty Beach in diminutive watercraft would have 'Porty People' going into absolute meltdown.

Desperate Business: interview From the latest Private Eye, out now.

Here's something a bit different. We've been reporting from Edinburgh to try to get to the bottom of a mystery in London. Princes Street is the Scottish capital's most famous shopping street — and it's gaining the *exact same* tatty gift shops as London. www.londoncentric.media/p/edinburgh-...

#TravellingSafely East Officer says 1. cash allocated to upgrade #ETRO routes 2. Order concerns traffic restrictions, not materials 🙄 Cllr Lang again queries the materials A: the materials are safe but will be upgraded if permanent No other councillors speak! 🤩 Report agreed! - East lanes saved!

🎉 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.

Take care around Leith Links, Salamander Street and The Shore area. Some sort of incident has closed Salamander Street/Elbe Street and, with the (motor) traffic near gridlock, there's some dodgy driving going on. Lot of big wagons on narrow streets too. #EdTravCyc

To be decided on Thursday, by the same Edinburgh council subcommittee that: “…doesn't consider notes of support from the families, visitors, children, care workers, delivery riders and many others who use these lanes to get their journeys completed safely” road.cc/content/news...

Today - Come and try the obstacle course: can you negotiate Porty Prom using your wheels? We're at the bike library just now and we'll be here until the rain starts! @equalfootingporty.bsky.social @beachwheelchairs.bsky.social

The divorces are going well x

Wonder if Vance is busy drafting a hillbilly eulogy.

@policescotland.bsky.social have launched their latest safety advice for people cycling on Scotland's road.

“Safety and space at risk as SUVs reach 30% of car market in English cities, researchers warn. Campaigners call for Paris-style parking charges amid fears big vehicles are taking up excessive public space.” Cities need smart, specific strategies to manage vehicle size. It’s about space & safety.

Helicopter search off Portobello Beach?

From this day in 2020.

This morning we've delivered an Open Letter, co-authored with Spokes, to the City Chambers - addressing the delays and deferrals of decisions on the East Area ‘Travelling Safely’ schemes, in London Rd, Willowbrae, Duddingston and beyond. edi.bike/files/2025/p...

Bolton News should be nominated for the Pullit Surprise 😏

It's a longtail type of day today. 🌞 Our Veloe Multi out on demo ride plus a drop in by Decathlon customer to get their Bafang longtail kick stand and handlebar stem upgraded by technician Joe T #Joe'sBikeGarage. @edi.bike @spokes.org.uk @chdot.bsky.social

Probably better not to have sent the roads team on that Kintsugi course.

Schools returned today, so it's a big welcome back to those parents who absolutely could not give a fuck about anyone else's safety.

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.
