A handful of bus gates in Aberdeen city centre reduced bus journey times by up to 17%! And increased bus patronage. Imagine the same in #Edinburgh? Huge benefits for the 300,000 Lothian bus passengers each day! Get on with it Edinburgh. #streetsNOTroads

Rain or shine, day or night, warm or cold: if you built it, they will come. Bike lanes are mobility lanes. #StreetsNOTroads

So much of #Edinburgh’s streetscape has been converted into private car storage. Without consultation, gradually over time we’ve become numb to ever increasing number and size of private belongings stored in public space. Cars ≠ thriving streets or successful public space We need #StreetsNOTroads

The powerful cycle lobby enroute to thwart car drivers…. …or just a wee kid using the new bike lane on a street they probably wouldn’t have cycled on before? #StreetsNOTroads
