A blue and white sign is fixed to both sides of a lamppost, against a mostly clear, bright blue sky with some grey and white cloud; the sign reads ‘Share with care’ and depicts icons of a bicycle and a pedestrian, encouraging responsible sharing of the path.

The main parks (Pilrig, Victoria, Leith Links & Lochend) have 'low speed zones' where the bikes speed is automatically reduced. Hopefully it works!

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

UPDATE just in: Voi says it plans to increase its Edinburgh e-bike fleet size to 800 by the end of the year, "to match the huge demand for e-bikes in the city".

The Edinburgh Minute @edinburghminute.bsky.social · 15d

Just in: Voi is increasing its Edinburgh cycle hire trial scheme from 50 bikes to 340 bikes. So far 5,800 riders have clocked up 60,000km across 21,700 trips since September. Boundary will expand on Friday 31/10 to include Holyrood Park, Meadowbank, Bonnington, Leith + Newhaven.

Carmageddon on Elm Row - echelon parking in the parallel parking encroaching on cycleway; parking in crossing area; parking on footway outside shops. This is supposed to be a place for people not a car park! Why no wardens? How about some signs to guide drivers?? @jackrmcaldwell.bsky.social

The evidence shows this hasn't happened in Leith - overall traffic levels are down across the area, including on all boundary roads except one.

Hi @jackrmcaldwell.bsky.social - any update on the works restarting? And please can bollards be installed to protect the pedestrian area and cycle lane as part of this project? The parking is getting worse by the day. @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike

So much for side-on parking on Elm Row - drivers parked right into the cycleway and on the pedestrian access/crossing to the bus stop. @jackrmcaldwell.bsky.social
