Sunset over our town centre. The sky is red and there are Christmas lights decorating the fronts of the shops and lamp posts.

Tax incentives Cycle commuting is a convenient way of fitting exercise into the daily routine. Also, work-related travel by cycle helps ease congestion and is good for the economy and the environment. To help, the G...

UK has a similar policy, 20p/mile (because we like mixing our metric and imperial units) Saved a fortune when I got a bike on the #cycle2work scheme and stopped paying for a rail card!

Having read this, my takeaway was let's not end up like Farage supporters willing 2 ignore people's problematic behavior. I dont take it as being anti green. Just challenging people 2 B mindful of what they R willing 2 deem acceptable because we R all flawed.

13% of journeys on Victoria Road made by bike: Glasgow is going Dutch Scotland's new separated cycle route, South City Way, showing huge number of people cycling.

Cycle Scotland looked at the impact of the introduction of a cycle path on Victoria Road linking the South Side of Glasgow to the City Centre. Small study and not academic but might be relevant

Shit, glad to hear your okay (physically). Sorry you had to go through this. WTAF is going on when some one reacts like this. Thanks for all you do to keep us ED cyclist safe!!!

In the same vain, this is an interesting piece as well. Goes in to the science around driver awareness. Basically light up any bits that move i.e. your legs.

It is so frustrating how up in arms people will get about these vehicles yet don't bat an eyelid at the statistics around cars/suvs/anything that isn't bike shaped

I reckon there were 3 cars sticking to the 20 mph limit. And one drive here nearly took me out trying to under take one of them ๐Ÿคฌ

First commute in to the office in a while.

Had to stick to the roads this morning due to main beam light issues. Promise I'll get a more scenic pic tomorrow @plotfolk.bsky.social

My cyclocross bike with bike packing bags leaving against a brown wooden fence. Beyond the fence is the caldeonian canal. There is a small one floor white house with a grey roof in the back ground.

Can highly recommend the #CaledonianWay (although with a slightly different starting point) DM me if you want more detail.

It's easy 2 reply 2 a poll with the morally correct answer but peoples actions speak ๐Ÿ“ข. Voting patterns, transport choices even diet choices show what true feelings on climate change R. While individual choice is not going 2 result in the change needed it signals desire 2 government & industry.
