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.

Join us to highlight the need for safe fit for purpose on-road cycling infrastructure for women and girls so that we can move around the city easily and confidently on cycles at all times of the day and night. #CycleWithUs #LightUpTheNight #VAW
We're delighted to be supporting the Edinburgh #FancyWomenBikeRide again this year. Joining with women in cities all over the world to take the streets by colourful storm #FWBR

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…

Gutting. The Forest Road lane is due to be part of the #FancyWomenBikeRide route next month. This is a seriously retrograde step in Edinburgh

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...
