Used upgraded NCN1 cycle route into Dundee yesterday collecting our Renticy UA. This bit at Broughty Ferry. Seemed pretty good example of what can be done at a coastal location. @sustransscot.bsky.social Sold a UA cargo there last year to resident due to this. @spokes.org.uk @dundeecycling.co.uk

Failing to adopt a national approach to 20mph as an urban/village norm in England increased 2024 casualties by 15,000 and insurance costs by £2bn. Read our latest press release in anticipation of the release of the DfT 2024 road casualty stats. bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

I've watched a LOT of cycling videos on youtube, but Evan Edinger just published one of the best - succinct, passionate and clear about what makes cycling great and what could make it better (infrastructure)

McDonald's says their new restaurant will be accessible to cyclists. What it will actually do is create a dangerous junction crossing Dundee's only serious cyclepath. It should not be given permission. @dundeecitycouncil.bsky.social @dundeecycling.co.uk

McDonald’s responds to Dundee Riverside concerns as application moves forward

A full planning application has been submitted seeking permission for a McDonald's restaurant to be built on land south of Riverside Avenue.

shifted some Ikea goods today 30km between Dundee + Arbroath with a Bullit + Carla - 90% totally fine - some speed gate issues and daft parking - Arbroath's Places For Everyone Scheme will be fantastic when completed - shame Dundee hasn't got something similar in the city centre/ Perth Road

Cycle infrastructure needs to continue through junctions, with their own sets of signals. It is bizarre so many UK councils still don't get this.

The IWD 2025 campaign theme is 'Accelerate Action'. We ask planners to build infrastructure that's safe & comfortable for women & girls. Many groups have ridden, campaigned, and yet Edinburgh hasn't seen the change it needs as a city to thrive. How can we accelerate action?

This year for #IWD2025 we're doing something a little different. A lunchtime pop-up "safe space" ride around the city centre on Monday 10th March. We'll start outside the City of Edinburgh Council's offices at Waverley Court on East Market Street at 12:30. Bring your noodles!

A woman in a blue hi viz vest on a bike. The bike has two pool noodles pointing out from the right side bearing signs saying For A Life Thanks Please Leave Space. The legal minimum distance for a vehicle to give a cyclist is 1.5m, the length of the noodles.
