For Belles that have never planned cycle routes before but are keen to learn how, we’re doing The Beginner’s Guide to Cycle Route Planning tomorrow. Learn how to plan safe & accessible day rides & short cycle tours in a friendly group. More info & rsvp: meetup.com/EdinburghBelles/e…
Many thanks to @POPScotland for organising another brilliant event to the @ScotParl today, we had a great time attending and really hope politicians listen and act to make Scotland a cycle-friendly nation. #PoP2022

It’s Pedal On Parliament tomorrow! We hope to see lots of Belles at the ride. There are feeder rides from across Edinburgh and further afield if you’d like to cycle in a group to the start point. Let’s help make Scotland a great place for all of us to cycle for everyday trips ❤️
With just one sleep til tomorrow's #POP2022 ride, here's some info about how to get to the start! You can make your own way to Chambers Street for 1pm, but you can also ride there in a group. We've got you covered with lots of 'feeder rides'.

Hello folks! It’s been a while but after a 2-yr covid hiatus we are back! 🎉 Thanks to @SpokesLothian who have given us a small donation to get us on our feet for 2022. We appreciate it hugely & recommend you join - they are doing wonderful work to enable more ppl to get cycling.
Hello folks, just a quick tweet to let you know that we’ve currently suspended our rides. Fingers crossed our group rides will be up and running again soon, but in the meantime we hope you manage to get out for some much needed solo pedalling.
Thanks to the Belles who came out on our 8 mile winter warmer around the Hermitage of Braid this morning. It’s always so good to get out cycling in the winter with a friendly, sociable group 😊 The miles definitely feel less chilly!

We're looking forward to a ride up to the Pentlands on Sat 29 September. This is a lovely route that takes in four reservoirs. Why not join us? meetup.com/EdinburghBelles/e…
Thanks to the Belles for a delightful ride through the Dalmeny Estate and on to the Bridge Inn at Ratho today. Despite an angry swan and the scorching heat, we enjoyed climbing around 1000ft and a good feed. Nice one, guys 👍
Yay! It’s our Barbara 😊 all our ride leaders are volunteers and it’s great to see them get recognition for their hard work. xitter.cf/cyclingukscot/status/9…
Meet Barbara, a volunteer for @CyclingUKScot and @EdinburghBelles. If you're interested in volunteering in cycling, read her fab story to see how she got started: cyclinguk.org/case-study/bar…
Well done Julie, an inspiring volunteer who deserves recognition for her hard work with @FalkirkBelles 👍 xitter.cf/julie_c1605/status/939…

Lovely cycle to Cramond this morning with a stop for tea & scones at the water. Thanks to the Belles who came along. Hope it wasn’t too speedy with an ebike at the front! ⚡️🚲❤️
We might not be a campaigning group, but we wholeheartedly support @SpokesLothian for helping to make Edinburgh more cycle-friendly & wish them a happy 40th birthday 😊 #Spokes40
We are very grateful for the recent donations we have received to keep the Belles lights on & pedals turning for another year. Thank you! ❤️
Thanks to all the Belles who came to our book night earlier this week & have helped us to keep the lights on! 1/2
Come to our fundraising book night on 16 Oct & help us raise pennies to continue our volunteer group for women 😊

We are so pleased to see this. This investment will open up cycling to more women across Scotland - bravo! xitter.cf/scotgov/status/9050631…
We'll take further steps to support walking & cycling by doubling the amount spent on active travel from £40m to £80m #scotpfg @transcotland
