For whom the bell tings

revvy close pass followed by... Is he just watching TV and driving around town?! Is it legal if it's in a cradle? Bonus points for tooting at drivers ahead the second the light went green. @DeaconThurston @david_mccraw @MikeyCycling

@LivingStreetsEd There are gains to pavement widths along almost the entire route? Its almost as if you just don’t like cycle lanes.

This doesn’t look like an imaginative ’20 minute neighbourhood’ for the local community; rather just an ‘active travel’ (cycling) corridor through Dalry. What happened to the idea of ‘place before movement’?

@PSOSNEEdinburgh No fun please, this is Edinburgh

Officers from the Leith Community Policing Team stopped and seized a beer bike on Leith Walk, around 11.20am on Saturday, 16 March, 2024, following safety concerns and road traffic offences. We are aware of ongoing community concerns and further enquiries are ongoing. #NECPT

@PhilLatham @BenGoldsmith It takes an especially micro-hearted ghoul to dimwittedly defend the practices pictures above. Up steps @PhilLatham

@BenGoldsmith Never one to kick an industry when it feels down are you? You and your brother and your band of well heeled commentators on the countryside should spend a few weeks at the coal face before offering your dribbling incontinent commentary, really you haven’t a bleeding clue

@BigYellowTaxi6 @CrimeLdn Its a shared use path ya dope.

@CrimeLdn Coming from a cyclist using a pavement

😯😯 ( lewislikesbikes )

@theSpurtle Professional

@PSOSRoads Good work

#StirlingRP stopped this vehicle due to the tints fitted. They measured to let only 27% of light through, they should allow 70%. Checks revealed the driver did not have a driving licence or an insurance policy. Vehicle seized. Driver reported. #VehicleSeized #Sec165

Trams to newhaven intent on learning the hard way what bollards are, what theyre for and why they are very cost effective. @edtiss @LivingStreetsEd

@jennipisces Ive reg seen cars parking there at night

Did this Brakes driver drive all along the cycle path from Picardy Place at York Place to get right outside their drop off this morning or did they drive over the double yellow lines and protection ridge to park there? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@magnatom Did u get the number plate to report this?

@itscalkemp @Angus_Duncan Nope, they could just have parked within the lines but they were too careless to do so.

@Angus_Duncan It's clearly a franchise however Leeds or Cape Town what does it matter. Companies from all over the world operate in Edinburgh 🤣🤣 All of which keep us employ and our local economy booming

@JonnyGibson @FurcoatNaeNicks 1,713 deaths per year (never mind life changing injuries) is still way too many.

@FurcoatNaeNicks It’s not a growing concern though really

@PidginPosting when you dont enforce speed limits in the city centre and there are no penalties for dangerous driving this happens and slowly becomes normal.

How? Just how?

@dougalstanton @MonkeyLeith @PSOSEdinburgh Yesterday. Could be fixed with some relatively cheap bollards, but no bcos… meh

Wheezy here delivering to @MonkeyLeith thinks he's been given permission by @PSOSEdinburgh to drive KX19 UXD on the pavement. Did ye aye?

@dougalstanton Bell bollards at the corners would immediately stop this dangerous driving but we can have them because scotland

Where is that white van *going*? Oh no, where are you two going? Just stahp!

@hibsww @harts_cyclery Its on its roof. Upside down. It flipped over

@fwtbr @harts_cyclery Somersault? Is that what happened?

It's astonishing that this sort of thing is still seen as an acceptable price to pay for excessive urban car use. It's not ok. It shouldn't happen. I expect high-traffic neighbourhood exponents to be along any moment to decry this road violence...

@hibsww @harts_cyclery Yeaaah, because cars somersault all the time at 20mph or under.

@harts_cyclery Maybe let an investigation take place into the facts first? Easy to jump to conclusions when you have a vested interest

@bigchuckdarwin @CllrScottArthur Haha yeah cars are much safer, except for the hundreds of pedestrians they plow into and kill every year.

@CllrScottArthur Luckily because of the safety features in cars nobody (not even the pensioner) got hurt. Still the safest way to travel in the city. #dontcycle don't be a pawn for local government statistics.

Incredible - "The car literally was about 10ft in the air, flying through the sky upside down. If somebody had been at the bus stop they would have been killed." edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh…

@edinjoiner @edtiss Well i was there and u werent so…

@fwtbr @edtiss So you say

A new sub-genre! Loading on pavement and cycle lane and leaving the door open. @edtiss

@edinjoiner @edtiss This will blow your mind, his left foot is down. He wasnt moving

@fwtbr @edtiss Ok, the slabbed section is pavement the tarmac is a cycle lane…. Next?
