Oh, that was careless...
Suspended sentence, £500 fine.
£500 for a life. The life of a man who had been given the all-clear from cancer that morning.

Cyclist injured on Edinburgh’s tram tracks secures compensation after Cycle Law Scotland discover narrow cycle lane on Leith Walk.
Cycle lane measured just 0.33m wide, well below recommended safety standards.
Tram tracks still pose major risk to cyclists.

W Hotel now breaching promise to restrict vehicle access to "pedestrian" St James Square - surely to no one's surprise?
Two private hires/taxis max are allowed into the Square at any one time: multiple vehicles are now routinely being permitted access (photo from yesterday).🙁

New @CyclingScotland surveys recorded over 5,000 bikes on Victoria Rd in 48 hrs - with bikes outnumbering cars at all rush hour peaks. Fixed counter data shows strong growth too, including an 81% rise in cycling levels on the East City Way since 2021👇

Yesterday we seized stock from three businesses on Princes Street which were obstructing the footway. This confiscation came after repeated warnings.
We'll continue to enforce the rules and make sure our footways are clear and accessible for all.

I'm thinking yesterday was a fluke.
This morning (not pictured) I was nearly reversed into by a lifted Ford Raptor.
@NewcastleCC when will you deal with this situation? If it's a worksite, fence it off. If not, prevent this behavior.

Update the quality cycle infrastructure on Leith Walk has been made less safe by CEC at Balfour Street tram stop headed north.
Caution needed as buffer now so slim there is little wiggle room for error. Hate to think what would happen if motor vehicles moving and clip the kerb.
@edinhelp can you confirm why there’s now a big notch in the Leith Walk cycleway northbound at Balfour St tram stop please? Looks very dangerous for cycles straying to the right?
Was it not built right? Seems to have been fine for the last 2 years!

There are now 4,400 people waiting for a spot in a secure cycle hangar in Edinburgh - that figure has grown by nearly 1,000 in just the last year.
My map of hangars and demand can be found here: rpubs.com/edtiss/hangars
There are 1,500 people who have made a request for a hangar on their street and 2,900 people who are on a waiting list for an existing hangar.
Only 1,200 spots are currently provided - the same as last year despite promises to increase the number:democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/d…
he most requests have come in from people living on Easter Road; the largest waiting list is at West Montgomery Street with 100 people waiting for a spot in 2 hangars.
Thanks to Edinburgh Council for making the data available here:edinburgh.gov.uk/homepage/10…
