This is a women-organised and led ride, but we welcome anyone as an ally.
More info on our website.

We're back! We've teamed up with @cyclinguk.bsky.social for a Glow Ride on Friday 24th October. Like us, they want to see more women cycling, and for councils to provide more safe infrastructure to enable that.
Light up your bike with lights and sparkle and join us at Middle Meadow Walk at 7.30pm.

24th October 2025. Do you have any plans?

After last week's Supreme Court ruling we want to be clear that we welcome & support all women and girls. Trans & non-binary people are as important to us as biological women & are a valued part of our crew.
We remain welcome to allies from any sex, gender or background.

It looks as though the UN have chosen a different theme for their recognition of the day. Both are admirable and valid, but we're using the IWD theme.

Hi Chelle

Accelerate Action is the theme for IWD2025
www.internationalwomensday.com/Theme

infrasisters.org.uk/post/safe-spac…
See our website for more info.

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?

If you're wondering how to decorate your bike to make your presence felt in the middle of the day, we suggest using your noodle. Specifically, your pool noodle. The legal distance when overtaking a cyclist is 1.5m...

Noodles are optionsl; we'd love to see you regardless.

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!

We're incredibly proud to announce that our founder Kirsty Lewin has been recognised as one of @wearecyclinguk #100WomenInCycling
Kirsty has been a long term advocate for cycling, active travel and women's rights.

Out with the @infrasisters.bsky.social last night, campaigning for better cycle infrastructure for women. Riding along Grassmarket, conscious that we first passed the place where a cyclist was choked by an angry motorist, then the narrow crowded pavements where a pedestrian was killed by a coach.

Photo album from last night's @infrasisters.bsky.social #NoExcuse bike ride around #Edinburgh is now live at andycatlin.myportfolio.com/infrasisters.... Big shout to the organisers and marshals for getting us through the city safely on a Friday night 👏👏👏

Riding in solidarity for my wife, as she is away for the weekend. I hate when she comes home and gives me gory details of near misses with buses, male arseholes giving her grief and the general shitness of it all in Edinburgh. I don’t want my boys, or me to lose an amazing, beautiful mother & wife.❤️

Andy's photos are always brilliant. Thank you so much for coming along and taking the photos.

Massive thanks to all the women and allies who came along tonight to call for safe infrastructure. More photos to follow but here's how we ended the evening.

Dr Grace, we all would!
We campaign in Edinburgh specifically for that: infrastructure that's safe for women and girls, day or night. Our next protest ride is tonight.

Our InfraSister Julie spoke at #SpokesMtg last night about how we were formed, how we campaign and how we can share and learn with other groups.

#NoExcuse for unsafe infrastructure
#NoExcuse for forcing us to choose between unsafe roads and unsafe cycle routes.
