Tomorrow! See you there :-)

It's good to see the footway fixed on Gilmore Place at Leamington Rd: surely caused by inadequate reinstatement by BT when installing their cabinet?

Has BT paid for the repair? We hope so - and have asked The City of Edinburgh Council.

“The children don’t walk. They run. This is how they relate to their environment, and it’s in this way that their bodies and minds grow. A fundamental freedom that adults have to limit every day - ‘be careful!’ - because we’ve redesigned cities to drive through, not to live in.”

How long a traffic jam, had every cyclist been driving their own car?
~100 cars x ~5 metres?

One is the central to the future of local transport, the other is central to the future of the automotive industry.

Edinburgh’s transport system should be accessible, sustainable and healthy -> but officers keep warning us that transport staff are under huge pressure -> we need more investment in staffing -> my motion will give parties the figures needed for the next council budget proposals

Really good point made in deputation from Blackford Safe Routes from a new cycling parent: “if you’d consulted me before these (quiet route) changes then as a driver I’d have opposed them. Now they are in I have started cycling with my family and strongly support them”

For years we’ve tried to beat traffic by building more roads. It hasn’t worked.

Around the world, building more roads and lanes has resulted in more traffic.

That’s why we are going to do things differently in Wales.

One way to reduce planetary overshoot is by prioritizing urban transportation modes that require fewer resources/energy. Using an electric car in an urban setting is extremely wasteful from an energy and resource perspective.

The Fort William Bike Park is open! Supported by £290k from the sportscotland Cycling Facilities Fund, this community project has created another destination for cycling in Lochaber. On the eve of the UCI Cycling World Championships - lots of locals and visitors giving it a go!

Bus priority is social justice

Cleaner air - Fitter people - Greater connection - More road space - Lower NHS burden - Healthier children - Less road danger - Stronger community …the advantages are multiple. Bring it on Haringey!

Tomorrow is #CycleToWorkDay ! Commuting by bike combines exercise with your everyday routine - it helps people get fitter and boost productivity. Why not try riding to your workplace this Thursday?

A key design detail of active infrastructure that enables all ages and abilities is proper lighting.
