I’ve complained to the BBC about #CelebrityTraitors. The repeated shots of Land Rover Defenders feel like product placement - banned under BBC rules - and it’s clearly worked, with searches for the Defender spiking after the show aired.

This right here is why proper cycling infrastructure is an investment in our communities and our future.
It is only the beginning. This route isn’t even fully finished.
When we stop imagining and start doing, change happens.

Basic principles for the future of the car in cities:
✅ Fewer
✅ Smaller
✅ Slower
✅ Cleaner
This can be achieved with:
✅ Parking controls
✅ LTNs
✅ Road User Pricing
✅ Pedestrianisation
✅ Default 20mph roads
✅ Improved public transport
✅ Segregated cycling

Elm Row still isn’t working as it should — unfinished works are causing confusion for everyone using it.
LCCC is working with WELM and Cllr Jack Caldwell to press the Council for progress on safety, parking and the missing sculptures.
Some fixes are due this month — we’ll share updates soon.

In positive news, looks like Forth Ports have finally taken the time to block off the not-parking-but-treated-as-parking old pavilion and cobbled area of Rennie’s Lock near Teuchters & the Scot Gov. Building!
Well done, will be a much nicer area from here on out without dodging car storage!

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".
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
