When people are asked why they don't cycle, top of the list is safety. Openstreetmap is essentially Wikipedia for maps and has a cycling overlay to show cycling infrastructure. Start checking if your nearest bit is on the map, and eventually you can map disaster areas too!

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

Last Critical Mass of 2025. Shorter city centre route - rough figure of 8 loop over and under South Bridge. Stayed dry - a bit chilly so thanks to #TheCausey for hot drink! @edcriticalmass.bsky.social

Enjoyable ride this afternoon with @edcriticalmass.bsky.social despite the chilly weather.

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!

The forecast is looking like there might be some drizzle, so we could use the extra joy if you want to join us.

A miserable day, but an important message.

Great write-up from @edinreporter.bsky.social Critical Mass, the cycling campaign group, demand action on safety measures in the Old Town Street remembering a fatal incident there last year theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2025/11/road... @edcriticalmass.bsky.social

Ahead of the @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social Transport and Environment committee meeting on Thursday members of @edcriticalmass.bsky.social protested about lack of action on Cowgate

One year after a horrific road death in the Cowgate, what have Edinburgh council done? Excellent protest from Critical Mass, on a dreich day! Great to see @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social & @chasbooth.bsky.social speak to protesters @edcriticalmass.bsky.social

Preparation for tomorrow at 8.30AM outside City Chambers to ask what they've done in a year.

Tick, tock! Cowgate. One year on. What have you done? We'll be outside City Chambers from 8.30am this Thursday 13 November to ask the council just that.

One year on from the awful collision on the Cowgate, cars still flow freely. Edinburgh council has delayed and delayed implementing promised restrictions. We are telling the Transport and Environment Committee to take action now!

Cowgate 1 year on - what have you done? Join us in front of the City Chambers at 8.30am on Thursday 13 November to tell the council that it's time to take action on dangerous roads.

Look what happens when you build protected bike lanes! Instead of spending billions on new roads, the govt should build more protected bike lanes!
