As the long Easter weekend gets underway with road, rail, air and sea chaos, one form of holiday transport remains blissfully unaffected - and fortunately it's sustainable, healthy and benefits the local communities we visit... walkwheelcyclevote.scot/wp-c…

What are your favourite paths and cycleways around Scotland? What would you like to see more of? One of our co-ordinators has this new path emerging on one of her regular routes and she would like #MoreOfThisPlease as it will enable her to cycle in safety with her son 🚲🚶👩‍🦽👨‍🦼

I do love the accessibility of the paths along our @scottishcanals & the new trails around Loch Morlich @cairngormsnews Great paths around @DiscoverKelpies & @HelixFalkirk too. Love using all these accessible paths for a wheel 👩‍🦽with my doggies - great mental health boosters.

The Edinburgh #FWBR is part of #ClimateFringeWeek because more women on more cycles more often is a powerful way to fight climate change - you can see all the other @ClimateFringe events at climatefringe.org/week/
Please share and help if you can xitter.cf/sallyhinch/status/1429…
A few weeks ago during the Olympics I shared an inspiring story about the courage and determination of the women cyclists of Afghanistan. Now they need our help. fundly.com/support-afghan-cy…

Gutting. The Forest Road lane is due to be part of the #FancyWomenBikeRide route next month. This is a seriously retrograde step in Edinburgh xitter.cf/POPScotland/status/142…
Replying to @POPScotland
In 2019 one of our pop-up Pops was human bike lane on Forest Road, which is one of those measures slated for removal. Don't let @Edinburgh_CC go back to the past...
