Liking the new addition to Ness walk in Inverness! We often receive feedback from cyclists about aggression from drivers when making use of this Contraflow ⬅️🚲

A cyclist rides along a road - there is a river in the background. An arrow and a bike are painted on the road

Coloured tarmac replacement help: in possibly my most niche question of all-time, does anyone know a solution for replacing small patches of coloured tarmac?

Issue is if you lay a red cycle / bus lane, you should use tarmac which has red all the way through it.... (1/3)

Last Saturday village had event with gazebo & stalls for community garden. Pleased our rental Family UA could easily carry & oversized items involved back to storage. Power use minimal & often 100% renewable in North Scotland. Have several used UAs - check web @highlandcyclists.bsky.social @edi.bike

Urban Arrow with gazebo including weighted bases. Probably 100kg!

Kirkmichael Community Garden Fun Day event.

If you live in North Scotland your power is often 100% renewable. Our Urban Arrow used only 100Wh to move items.

Ember don't seem to worry about bike covers. Bike last night was just on side in hold. Imagine that they won't like muddy mountain bikes returning on their Fort William to Edinburgh & Glasgow services though.

Their FAQ has “We'd appreciate if your bike is clean. If it's really dirty, please stick it in a bike bag.”

Which seems very reasonable. There’s also other people’s luggage to consider.

Getting ready to reclaim Charles St for kids this morning. It is so satisfying to be able to change the atmosphere of the place and allow the youngest residents to have a short window in charge!
