My talk about how great bike buses are is available to watch on YouTube www.youtube.com/live/j3FXi9Y... #bikebus The main message is to nudge a teacher or parent to look at the starter guide on bikebus.org/edinburgh and to contact me. More bike buses please less traffic!

A really excellent deputation from Spokes on the A701/2 “relief” roads

Particularly the section on “induced demand” 👏👏👏

A wet cycle segregated cycle lane lined with black and white reflective posts passes a bank of ‘floating’ parking spaces. The ground is thick with leaf mulch and there are green wheelie bins out on the green-hedged footway.

A #Bikebus attracts families that normally drive to #school. Today 60 kids in Edinburgh cycled to school in the 6 bike buses that ran across #edinburgh. That's 40 less cars polluting the city. It's an easy, safe, healthy and fun way to reducing congestion Let's roll it out to all school

A large group of cycle users - in reflective jackets and vests, some with helmets, and their bikes festooned with a range of fairy lights and neon, gather at the end of a ride, lighting up the dark, wide open public space in front of McEwan hall in Edinburgh, an impressive domed sandstone structure five or six storeys high and warmly lit against the dark night sky.

Hi @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk the new walk/cycle way from Roseburn to Fountain Bridge does not appear on Google maps when you turn on the cycle path view. Can it be added?

Start of spokes website article... My Favourite Bike Ride: #SpokesComp results For many people, a favourite ride is a weekend cycle to and through places of great natural beauty or historic interest. But our entries showed that it can also be your daily commute, taking your mind off work; or a school bike bus with its amazing enthusiasm and hope for the future. Our lovely entrants showed just how much cycling can mean to people in so many different ways. We were also delighted to get a good range of entries from the Lothians, with West and East Lothian entries winning 3rd and 4th positions.
