Seems they’re after suburban votes. AT and congestion charge stuff is really short sighted. Missed their visit to Coia’s in Dennistoun - notorious locally for parking their SUVs on corner! My issue with parking plans was 1-ways with no 2-way exemption for cycling (apparently Police Scotland object)

He knew before that 1st book (Kilmarnock edition, July 1786) sold fairly well but didn’t make him that much money. Leith boat was booked for late December. It was probably signing the deal for his 2nd book (Edinburgh edition, April 1787) which swung it. See: burnsc21.glasgow.ac.uk/robert-burns...

Amazing to be able to place the origins of the game in Edinburgh. I think being played somewhere around modern day Fountainbridge or Gorgie?
Scotland would prefer scaling existing tidal power vs nuclear (planning delays/waste/£££s): tethys.pnnl.gov/project-site...
Surprise!
Fair enough but is there potential to improve entrances into Central Station? Could we widen access to Gordon St (current frontage juts out)? Could there be an accessible side entrance onto Union St (currently steps)? I’d want heritage respected but see what we can upgrade (esp fire proofing).

Great turnout for @edcriticalmass.bsky.social today. Included a roller blader, a dog, a few hire bikes and some kids. A bit eventful at times but mostly relaxed with some nice chat. Wet at first but we got a bit of blue sky.
GoBike have posted for the first time in a while. Hopefully more to follow…
Very speedy - had brakes on so I didn’t go into the back of someone! Heavy bikes but smooth once motor kicks in.

Just made it to Critical Mass - on #Voi hire bike this time. Shorter ride in city centre - busy but stayed dry. Played Scottish playlist since it was near Burns night. Liked blasting Teenage Fanclub at St Andrews Square! @edcriticalmass.bsky.social
Young Scot is a card given to every child in Scotland. It already got them discounts in shops and attractions - just extended that to buses.
Scotland has free bus travel for u22s. Seems to do some of the above. Bus drivers don’t always like dealing with kids but seems positive overall. See: youngscot.net/news-databas...
A large group of people, including children, on bikes of all sizes cycle through a green space. The text reads: Pedal on Parliament - Save the date: 30th May 2026, 11.30am - #PoP26 - Meadows to Holyrood on closed roads, for a cycle-friendly Scotland
We’re back - Save the Date! In 2026 we Pedal on Parliament for a cycle-friendly Scotland, on Sat 30th May at 11.30am - Middle Meadow Walk to Holyrood, Edinburgh on closed roads.

Minor point in the scheme of what’s happening but thought this was interesting about protestors and public transport: bsky.app/profile/czbi...
Impressive turnout in Minnesota yesterday - esp in -10F/-23C! Dunno if it made UK evening news but not on BBC radio bulletins. minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/23/t...
It is a shocking photo but I agree it’s important to see. Especially as it seems to contradict headline. Article should say ‘car driven into woman on pavement’

Thanks for view of lights and Stobcross Rd - maybe an option if it’s not used by Clyde Metro. Current plans would at least be safer: glasgow.gov.uk/article/1415.... You covered the ground out to Renfrewshire! Worth going east next time - Duke St and most Avenues should be done for Commonwealth Games

Multicoloured Cyclehoop bike hangar at old Tam Shepherds shop on Queen St, Glasgow
Harsh way to learn to lock the frame not the wheel. Also, metres away from secure bike parking for £1 (Trips: cyclehoop.rentals/types/short-... in case it helps anyone else). 🫣
I also wonder why UK doesn’t make more of tidal. There’s been plenty of time to expand from successful pilot projects… #Orkney

True about 1st tramline - City of Edinburgh Councillors played politics with it. But Transport Scotland took over extension to Newhaven and it was on time/budget. CEC’s preferred option for North-south line would take over #Roseburn shared path - will cost billions and be fought tooth and nail.
In my Board I’ve helped get secure bike parking at nearly 20 sites. Usage varies - knobbled by lack of cycling infra to get to them. Also, rail infra issue with one acute hospital linked to Glasgow but not to rest of county where patients come from! No solutions in Clyde Metro plans either…
…and Roseburn path/Dean bridge issues. Glasgow has four main hospitals - only Gartnavel is next to train station. Clyde Metro due to link to QEUH and maybe Stobhill. Years away but might still beat Edinburgh N-S tram?
