The bike bus group squeezes between the gap of two wooden planters, forming a quiet street. There are green hedges and bare mature trees

Super turnout and lovely Spring day for today’s bike bus

Fab seeing the kids energised and ready for the best start to the school day

I finally got around to framing the first of two devastating attacks by @mathieuvanderpoel at the @uci world champs in #glasgow in #2023 . #sportsart #sportsphotos . As a cycling fan witnessing the beast attack is something I'll never forget.

New #bikebus day. Parents at St Peter's Primary in Edinburgh have set up a second bike bus route to the school. This route runs from the Braids down hill all the way. @coachbalto.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk @cyclinguk.bsky.social @edi.bike @edinreporter.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social

Hi, had a look at the clean up, While 90%of the debris has been removed there is still a skid hazard all along the bike lane. It may look insignificant but that line of dirt is a skid hazard especially for cargo and trailer bikes as front wheel needs to be in the centre of the lane.

Hi @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social can there be a review of the machines used to sweep cycle lanes. For years now all they do is move the dirt to the center of the lane. It renders them a hazard and forces cyclists on to the road. Thanks @edi.bike @spokes.org.uk @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social

A pedestrian bridge would certainly be preferable to the white line protecting pedestrians here.

I watched yesterday's webinar on this subject, and it really does feel like a whole new frontier of exciting possibilities and potential is opening up in how we grow food, and how that impacts on the natural world.

Hope at a time when it's in short supply!

Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot I knew that a revolution in our understanding of soil could change the world. Then came a eureka moment – and the birth of the Earth Rover Program, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧡 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A wet cycle segregated cycle lane lined with black and white reflective posts passes a bank of β€˜floating’ parking spaces. The ground is thick with leaf mulch and there are green wheelie bins out on the green-hedged footway.

A #Bikebus attracts families that normally drive to #school. Today 60 kids in Edinburgh cycled to school in the 6 bike buses that ran across #edinburgh. That's 40 less cars polluting the city. It's an easy, safe, healthy and fun way to reducing congestion Let's roll it out to all school
