@47363 Thank you!

We’re hosting a space where everyone feels comfortable making mistakes and learning, regardless of their level of experience, identity or background, so the most important thing we’re looking for is an inclusive and supporting attitude.Interested? Get in touch via the volunteer application form!https://forms.gle/N2xQ8Wv8KJaJ8scXA

Edinburgh Tool Library are looking for volunteers to help people learn to repair their bicycles during regular Cycle Kitchen workshops. No technical expertise is required - training and support by existing volunteers will be provided.

Here is the planned route for February's ride. Meed at 2pm on Saturday 28th at the compass in Middle Meadow Walk for a 2.10pm start. #Edinburgh #Cycling #CriticalMass

We ride for safe streets. "Ok, why?" https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10546027/ Figure 1 The most important part of the chart is where the line is steepest. We don't want safe streets so confident cyclists can ride further or faster. We want them so non-cyclists can ride at all.

The consultation about protected bike lanes on Silverknowes Road connecting the Blackhall Path to Marine Drive closes tomorrow.If you use this route, now is the time to be heard. ETRO/21/30Chttps://consultation.appyway.com/edinburgh-city

By the end of February some 80% of people who joined a gym in January will have quit.Maybe it's time to ask if those goals could be met with 'cycle to work'. Readers probably already do, but maybe a t-shirt will help start the conversation with your colleagues.https://edinburgh-critical-mass.teemill.com/

A shorter ride through the New Town this month. Beat the January blues and ride with us for safer streets!

We ride for safer streets, and we get them by having our officials put in the work to make them.Ask them to show up on Tuesday.https://action.cyclinguk.org/page/182014/action/1

Someone got in touch about a bike they found dumped in a bush and it reminds us that the Internet can be very helpful in getting your bike back. Register the frame number here free.https://www.bikeregister.com/It's the first result if people are searching about lost bikes.#cycling #Edinburgh

The city is a shared space and everyone should be playing nice.But bikes are much more agile than cars so we can help fix things by stopping to report problems at https://www.fixmystreet.com/ in a way cars can't.Report what it is and where it is and they'll get the message to the right people.

We've spotted that the Voi bikes have discounts for various groups.Check it out and see if you are eligible.https://www.voi.com/equitable-access#edinburgh #cycling

Edinburgh Council has an active transit consultation open for Dundee St and Fountainbridge.https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/dundee-street-fountainbridge-active-travel/consult_view/It closes next Monday so get your thoughts in sooner rather than later.#Edinburgh #ActiveTransit #cycling

Can I offer you "Stories of Resistance" edited by Ra Page? (Available at Central Library) A collection of dramatisations and real history bringing to life protests in the UK.The Peasant's Revolt of 1381 helped inform the modern Poll Tax protests. I think it's fair to say protest has shaped Britain even if they aren't all always successful.

Protest takes a lot of forms, but it's undeniable how photography has effected messaging.There is an excellent exhibit at Modern Two until Sunday.https://www.nationalgalleries.org/exhibition/resistanceAs a cyclist, I was interested in bikes as a force multiplier in the pictures.And the Annie Kenney arrest. What a photo!

Wishing everyone a safe and happy new year.See you for the next ride on the 31st of January!

By popular demand, you can now get a Critical Mass t-shirt on a dark background. They tell us the 21st is the last day for shipping to arrive before the 25th, but check and double check! https://edinburgh-critical-mass.teemill.com/product/edinburgh-critical-mass-black/Black/

WOW! What a brilliant Saturday! Our collaboration with @weespokehub and @edcriticalmass was a massive success! 🚲 It was fantastic seeing so many familiar faces and welcoming new ones as we gave our bikes some much-needed TLC, courtesy of the fab Wee Spoke Hub volunteers, fuelled by endless tea and biscuits (the best!) Huge thanks to everyone who came out, particularly to Critcal Mass for their huge and enthusiastic turn out!

One of the riders in this month's mass had ridden up from London, joined the mass and rode back home! Dedication! #CriticalMass #Edinburgh #cycling

Another fine ride to round out the year. No ride in December. Stay warm and we'll see you again on the 31st of January. #Edinburgh #cycling #CriticalMass

Remember this is the last ride of the year. There is no ride in December so bring two month's worth of happy vibes!
