UPDATE : New bollards are here 🥳 #EdTravCyc

Planters and bollards going in at Tarvit Street! I thought I would never see the day etc #EdTravCyc

There's a tree down over the Hawthornvale path just west of the Newhaven Road bridge. It's possible to walk around it #EdTravCyc @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

Does anyone know if these private signs are allowed on the public pavement? Surely the Highway Code gives pedestrians priority at a side road so not needed? Or a painted zebra would be allowed on the private side road? Location here maps.app.goo.gl/HXcCs4XieEQD... FYI @livingstreetsedi.bsky.social

OMG it looks like the cycle button (to the left of the red light next to the cycle lane in the photo) and corresponding 🚲 🚦 is FINALY in operation at Haymarket! #EdTravCyc

🙋 Monday 12 Oct 4-7pm DROP-IN #GrantonWaterfront, next stage Also online QA -> consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/grantonp... @edi.bike @chdot.bsky.social @sannedd.bsky.social @kaykinoneill.bsky.social @tracygilbertmp.bsky.social @ellatasm.bsky.social @iammelissa.bsky.social @nialla.bsky.social

Road is still closed but The Innocent Path is not restricted. The crossing itself is out of action, but with the road closed there's no need for it and you can cross a few metres east. #EdTravCyc Token picture of broken water main.

An insight into cycling trends - the introduction of Voi bikes has added about 500 additional cyclists per day to Leith Walk; the tram closure added another 250 at the peak. The Voi effect is much larger at the weekend, while the inverse is true for the tram.

"I am a 91 year old who used to nip about by car" ... Now he's a 🚲 campaigner in #Colinton! 👍 An example to us all! @edi.bike @edfoc.bsky.social @chdot.bsky.social @cllrconorsavage.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @sw20.info @longstonecc.bsky.social @edinreporter.bsky.social @osbert.org

Seen a report (Reddit) of a burst water main on Duddingston Park South which looks like it's taken the Innocent Path crossing out of action. #EdTravCyc www.reddit.com/r/Edinburgh/...

#CyclingChampionAwards 2026 ? Can you imagine anyone more deserving than Ben of @edi.bike+@pedalonparliament.org 🤩 We can't! - Congratulations Ben!! @keithirving.bsky.social @edfoc.bsky.social @chdot.bsky.social @edcriticalmass.bsky.social @edinreporter.bsky.social @edinburghminute.com @sw20.info

#Lothianburn junction #A702, trial layout - better for drivers, more dangerous for cyclists? Please send comments to Cllr @rosssmckenzie.bsky.social - see above thread We have already received several - will forward to RM @edi.bike @johnrobson87.bsky.social @edinreporter.bsky.social @sw20.info

#EdTravCyc and pedestrians: it is now possible to walk round the back of the Constitution/Baltic St junction, through Tower St, which now joins up with the new Margaret Thomson Cres, leading through to Bath Rd opposite Salamander Pl, avoiding a little bit of the unpleasant Baltic and Salamander St

👫 Billy & Belinda have taken up residence in Danderhall! Creepy or cute alongside the ✏️’s? A shame the junction design does just give pedestrians priority with a continuous footway… 🙄 #EdTravCyc

Bike kit lost or stolen? This is where the path to the Innocent Railway meets the Duddingston Low Road, Holyrood. @edi.bike @spokes.org.uk

So @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social said we can’t have underground bins in the City Centre so put in bin hubs… yet out Granton the same council have put in underground bins… make it make sense?! www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinbur...

New modal filter just dropped! Both sides of Bruntsfield Links now reconnected ⛳️ 🦮 🏃🏻‍♂️👫 Essential traffic functioning normally (wish it were permanent) #EdCycTrav

#EdTravCyc New(ish) bidirectional cycleway being altered already for new housing access to housing near Granton Gasholder. Disappointing “dismount” signage being used rather than “do not overtake cycles” on carriageway? Otherwise planting along route looking great 🌾🪻🌿 @edi.bike @spokes.org.uk

Careful of the bike racks at Morrisons on Ferry Rd, Edinburgh - a couple of them can be lifted right out of the paving. #EdTravCyc 🚲 🔐

This newly re-done junction at Summerhall puts cyclists at serious risk of left-hooks The desireline for people on bikes is straight on, but for cars it’s turning left Suitable for ages 8 to 80 ??? - We think not Edinburgh’s roads designers are morally bankrupt!

You should definitely visit Dune on Queensferry High Street but now pedestrian protection has been removed forever - as part of a "new" design, you should also be prepared to hardly any space on the pavement and motor vehicles driving right at you if you're cycling 🤯

Five years ago, young kids could ride themselves through (small) parts of central Edinburgh, until the council got cold feet. This kid will grow up and have their own kids before this street gets back to 2021. Why are other UK cities leaving Edinburgh so far behind?

North Bridge acting as designed this morning as car parking in the city centre bus lane returns. Why’s that not in the press release?! Someone tell the council it’s 2026 and not 1956 @edinburghminute.com @edi.bike @edinreporter.bsky.social @cllrcmiller.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social

We didn't know about it ... is this it ? --> www.facebook.com/groups/11485... @edi.bike @chdot.bsky.social @sannedd.bsky.social @kaykinoneill.bsky.social @tracygilbertmp.bsky.social @benmacpherson.bsky.social @nialla.bsky.social @euanbaxter.bsky.social @helenrambler.bsky.social

Simply love the reopened North Bridge, where Edinburgh Council took advantage of eight years of works to put active travel and pedestrians first

Rejoice! Edinburgh’s got a new contender for the world’s worst cycle lane! Imagine a dark stormy night 😱 - needs a “cyclist dismount”, “road narrows on left”, “cycle lane closed” or whatever sign. Or maybe make the “keep right”permanent?

Just passed on the bus. Flooding puddled up alongside and one of the kerbstones knocked out into carriageway already 🙌🏼

Nothing at all could go wrong there... bsky.app/profile/john...

👍 #GreyfriarsBobby footway widening 🤔 We trust #cycling safety will be included, or will be very nasty pinchpoint on busy 🚲route .. we have asked @edi.bike @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @finlaymcf.bsky.social @cllrcmiller.bsky.social @chdot.bsky.social @edfoc.bsky.social @edoldtowncoco.bsky.social

#EdTravCyc @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike @robbieainsworth.bsky.social Newbattle Terrace closed between Canaan Lane and Whitehouse Loan for SPEN? roadworks? Still cyclable but signage just for cars saying diversion needed. Much safer exit from Canaan Lane as a benefit for cycles.

#EdTravCyc @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike ⚠️ caution ⚠️ needed on North Bridge headed north. So many raised ironworks and no obvious warning signs (to me at least) could be lethal on a bike if not aware. Also amount of tarmac and road width being reinstated is crazy! No cycle provision or widened pavements

@edinburghbug.bsky.social @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social what’s up with the Dalry Road bus lane towards Haymarket. 17:45 today completely full of parked cars?! If this is park of the 7/7/7 trial it’s gonna need some strong enforcement!

Much needed bus priority measures after Princes St fire: - remove George St parking - 3 lanes bus-only - 1 lane segregated cycleway, preserving CCWEL link - Fringe tents moved to Princes St btw Hanover & Frederick??? edinburghbususers.group/an-open-lett...

Latest #Edinburgh #SpokesMap @ #WaverleyStation 👍 Thanks @networkrailscot.bsky.social / Aaron Patrick @edi.bike @edfoc.bsky.social @chdot.bsky.social @secretedinburgh.bsky.social @finlaymcf.bsky.social @alastairdalton.bsky.social @edinreporter.bsky.social @sw20.info --> spokes.org.uk/spokes-maps/

FYI @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike @sw20.info @livingstreetsedi.bsky.social Also does anyone know if the lane / track via Lymphoy from Currie to Malleny is cyclable? This would avoid the busy Lanark Rd West.

Wallyford Roundabout over the railway has been made safer for cycling 🙌 A bit of an odd arrangement of actually going around the roundabout given toucans and then being dumped on Haddington Road down to Musselburgh. But it will link up to the long term Active Toun plans. @edi.bike @spokes.org.uk
