Ellen’s Glen - a few years after the trees were cut down and umpteen years since the bank collapsed… the wall is reinstated and fences are away! 🎉 Bollards back in too. Bittersweet for us - a certain someone would’ve loved extra wheeling room but been annoyed at no fences to shake. 🥺 @spokes.org.uk

Some good points to put to businesses about car parking versus public transport. Written about a neighbourhood in Vancouver, Canada but applies to cities in UK or around the world…
Is parking really the best use of our limited curbspace? Great piece by @michaelhall.bsky.social
"While curbspace for parked cars is a finite resource that plateaued when the concrete curbs were first poured, transit is a source of business that has incredible growth potential."

Betting on Parking is Risky Business
Curbspace is finite. Are we sure we're using this extremely valuable resource to its fullest extent?

A bit more about my route idea… I was seeing if there was any compromise between the council wanting to use Coltbridge viaduct and many people wanting to keep Roseburn path for active travel. The deviation route is probably in the ‘niche but not impossible’ category. (Short 🧵)…
I had similar thoughts about route but using width on existing Coltbridge viaduct then avoiding Roseburn path. Deviation (in purple) cuts across Coltbridge Gdns into Modern One car park. Dunno how viable but cheaper than a new bridge. - www.google.com/maps/d/viewe...

Forgot to post yesterday about a sandbag that was left in middle of northbound cycle lane on Lasswade Rd (opposite Carnbee estate entrance). I moved it, unfortunately spilling a trail of sand from a hole in bag. Hopefully a one off. @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike

There’s been three crashes involving a driver hitting a cycling this August. They happened in the same week. This is unacceptable. We’re riding in protest of Edinburgh’s indifference toward cyclists this Friday 22nd August at 7pm. Meet at Middle Meadow Walk. Tell and bring everyone you know

I probably need to write a blog post about experience getting around #Vancouver. A lot to like, esp public transport for key sites (like Skytrain from airport to SeaBus). Loved cycling round Stanley Park sea wall but photo shows where it got real - weirdly reminded me of Glasgow at M8 motorway!

Had a quick look at the diversion to NCN75 at Glasgow Green for #TRNSMT Festival. Adelphi St route still in disrepair. Photos from the other week - probably carnage today in this heat!

It’s that time of year when the popular cycling routes in Glasgow Green are diverted around the TRNSMT music festival. Here’s a quick peek at how the diversion route is looking.

First ride on new path by Niddrie Burn between Greendykes roundabout and Hunter’s Hall Park. Useful wee traffic-free link after BioQuarter/Little France Park. Smooth surface with lighting set back off tarmac. Bare verges for now but expect they’ll soon sprout up. @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike

Makes me wonder about install due on Haugh Rd, Glasgow. Hopefully, Bike for Good will have an influence there.

Those 4 blocks will revert to 2024. This is what it looked like in the fall on Bedford leading up to those 4 blocks at Willoughby. A painted bike lane will be ignored by those who live there.
Great job Eric Adams. You've brought back danger.
