We're back! We've teamed up with @cyclinguk.bsky.social for a Glow Ride on Friday 24th October. Like us, they want to see more women cycling, and for councils to provide more safe infrastructure to enable that. Light up your bike with lights and sparkle and join us at Middle Meadow Walk at 7.30pm.

On Valentines Day, time to go adventuring with my beloved. We found the legendary Highland Explorer bike carriage, what started start to the weekend!

A train carriage with a mural depicting acyclist riding through famous Scottish landscapes.

A Bike with front bar bag leans against a pillar with a train behind.

Through tree branches, a bright white hotel can be seen on the opposite side of the loch, under dark hills topped with snow.

In the height of winter, green shoots of hyacinth bulbs promising spring.

A plant pot. A tiny green shoot can be seen poking through the soil, and an even smaller white one also.

Join the LCC Women’s Network on Thursday 6 February for an after dark ride. Are our cycle routes fit for night riding ?

If you watched that abomination of Panorama last night, here's the reality of real legal ebikes and why people ride them safely.

Traitors fact that changes how you watch it. The edit is done in two sections. The first edit is of the round table. Once that’s locked, they go back and make the round table seem inevitable, by editing the day’s footage to set up what you see at the end. That’s why it seems narratively strong.

The one advantage of being tech support to the older generation is that it allows you to block the likes of Farage and such without them ever realising.

Long distance rail travel today, Edinburgh to Nottingham return. Am I the only person left in the UK who doesn't have their phone on speaker mode?

Fighting the remnants of Storm Darragh through Portobello and East Lothian on a Sunday long ride. #bikesareguid

A wintry beach almost empty of people. The sea is full of breaking waves. Across the water can be seen sunlight on distant hills.

Looking along a wooden breaker out to a winter blue sea topped with breaking waves.

Out with the @infrasisters.bsky.social last night, campaigning for better cycle infrastructure for women. Riding along Grassmarket, conscious that we first passed the place where a cyclist was choked by an angry motorist, then the narrow crowded pavements where a pedestrian was killed by a coach.

A group of brightly lit cyclists waiting at a red light in a city junction.

A group of cyclists decorated in fairy lights heading along a wide path lined with trees.

A brightly lit fairground with a big wheel and sky ride in a city centre.

One of the great things about Twitter, and now 🦋 is that someone can repost a thread on something completely random yet completely interesting.

If you see this, post a beach pic from your gallery

A beach at evening. In the foreground are reeds and grass. The shallow water reflects the sunset colours of the sky. In the middle distance a castle is silhouette against the sky.

Finally making the move as all my favourite Twitter accounts seem to have moved over here... Pictures from a recent #bikepacking adventure. Based in Edinburgh, into riding a bike in beautiful places, opera, ballet, arts, books, travel, cats, Scotland and the environment.
