@lamiejang Thanks for the link. When I checked on Friday it wasn’t reported as stolen. Hopefully they can get it back from the police.

[Bike Edinburgh @BikeEdinburgh]

Have you lost this bike? Now with Wester Hailes police.

@david_mccraw @SustransScot @WOLCT @edinhelp “with boulders placed to limit access opportunities.”
I asked for evidence of the hazard and got no response from @edinhelp.

@david_mccraw @SustransScot @WOLCT @edinhelp “a significant hazard with cyclists then re-entering onto the path at speed and putting users on the formal route (and themselves) at risk.

For information and by way of update, there is now no desire line path and the previous access through the bridge piers is discouraged…”

[Bike Edinburgh @BikeEdinburgh]

@JarlathFlynn This is still a problem and even worse than before @scottishcanals @edinhelp. When will this be fixed? It’s a real danger.

[Bike Edinburgh @BikeEdinburgh]

@edinhelp why have you constructed this fence on the water of leith path near Woodhall Millbrae? It completely blocks a desire line path that has been there for years.

[Bike Edinburgh @BikeEdinburgh]

@dougalstanton @TennentsLager are possibly the worst HGV drivers I’ve come across. Not only terrible at at driving but also incredibly rude and aggressive!

“Councillor” Sue Webber everyone...

[Sue Webber 💜💙 @SueJWebber]

Why bother if they’re not going to be used..... 😳

[Bike Edinburgh @BikeEdinburgh]

Pretty sure I saw a Mink on the Union Canal towpath, behind Westerhailes Police Station. Too small for an otter. Brown all over. Would that be right?

Failure defined in one image.

Disgraceful from @TramstoNewhaven

[Nippie Sweetie @nipsweetie]

I’m going to make a wild guess and state that - perhaps - it wasn’t a cyclist who drew up these lanes #YouHadOneJob #Trams #Leith

[Anthony Robson (not so urban now) (he/him) @urbancyclist]

So here's my idea for the day, and I need you, the people of Edinburgh, to help. Not just cyclists, but anyone who cares about what is happening on our roads. First up, for the day, changing your profile picture to the attached. E for Edinburgh. E for End. E for Enough.

[PidginPosting @PidginPosting]

As 40+ years of polite gentle lobbying has been mostly ignored and those doing it belittled, mocked and abused then perhaps it’s about time people got fucking angry at the lack of progress and the interminable delays while folk continue to be killed and injured.

[Anthony Robson (not so urban now) (he/him) @urbancyclist]

I’m a horrible mix of angry and totally cut up at the moment.

Three years old, walking of the pavement with his mum.

Here’s the thing, there ‘might’ be an innocent reason for the driver (sudden, unexpected medical episode), but we’ve enabled the harm.

Fuck this.

[Bike Edinburgh @BikeEdinburgh]

And @Edinburgh_CC @edinhelp think some paint will stop this?!

[Anthony Robson (not so urban now) (he/him) @urbancyclist]

In the last 8 days in Edinburgh, a cyclist has been hit by a driver in E Preston Street; a 7 year old was run over in Porty (condition unknown); a cyclist has been killed on Mount Vernon Road; and a woman and child have been hit by a car on the pavement on Morningside Rd 1/2

[Bike Edinburgh @BikeEdinburgh]

Fuck sake.

Close the roads to cars.

[Police Scotland Edinburgh @PSOSEdinburgh]

Police Scotland can confirm that a three-year-old boy has died following a road traffic crash in Edinburgh today, Tuesday, 30 June, 2020.

@edinhelp Thank you.

[Bike Edinburgh @BikeEdinburgh]

Hi @edinhelp, tree down on canal towpath at approx location on the attached map. Blocking the path. Can you get it removed? Thanks.

[Bike Edinburgh @BikeEdinburgh]

Hi @edinhelp, the corner of Charlotte Sq / S Charlotte St was flooded and has now been drained. However, it’s left lots of mud in the cycle lane. Danger of slipping. Can you get it cleaned? Thanks.
