👍 Nearly 10% of trips here already by 🚲 🙋 What would it be with the missing #GeorgeStreet link? @edi.bike @sw20.info @edfoc.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @edcriticalmass.bsky.social @finlaymcf.bsky.social @cllrcmiller.bsky.social @thecockburn.bsky.social @alastairdalton.bsky.social

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.

This is a fascinating project. The red-on-red and green-on-green status flags are a bit difficult to read when it's using the light background, though.

This is the kind of internet I want. @harryjwilliams.bsky.social takes complex @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social planning and project docs and makes them feel simple, transparent and legible. @sw20.info @thebikestation.bsky.social @edinburghminute.com @edfoc.bsky.social @edcriticalmass.bsky.social

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/

The Voi shared e-bike scheme is expanding northwest; Stockbridge, down to Crewe Toll, and along the Hawthornvale Path towards Newhaven, along with an increase to 700 bikes and new parking locations. Voi have had over 500 suggested parking locations from the public across the city since launching.

How did you find the Voi bike for the ride? Comfy? Good speed? I'm pretty sure you're the first person to try and I'm so pleased someone did!

Some photos from today's #edcriticalmass ride through Edinburgh. An astonishing turnout for a dreich day. #cycling #Edinburgh

Not a bad turnout for the Critical Mass ride in #Edinburgh today, despite the dull weather... #edcriticalmass

We normally post the route but missed it this time. Sorry. We got a lot of feedback that it's very helpful so it will definitely be up for February. We also use Critical Maps to track the ride (usually!)

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

One of our favourite things is seeing different designs of bikes.

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

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. #ThisMachineFightsClimateChange #pop26

Our My ride. Our right campaign is gaining momentum 🚲 A Westminster Hall debate on women’s safety is happening on 27 January. We need as many MPs there as possible. Ask your MP to attend & help push for safer cycling for women 👇 https://action.cyclinguk.org/page/182014/action/1?ea.tracking.id=BS

The local OpenStreetMap editors are meeting up tomorrow night for folks who were interested by the previous post about mapping cycling infrastructure.

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 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.

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!

Oooh! How do we find that? What are we searching for?

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