This week at the Transport Select Committee we were discussing road safety. Alex's words at Pedal on Parliament about presumed liability were fresh in my mind, so I asked about it. @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike Full Question: youtu.be/qeVRc5qIibA

I'm pleased to have been asked to take on the Economy, Transport and Tourism portfolio for the new session of Parliament. My first act this morning was to challenge the Scottish Government on the active travel cuts which were announced during the election purdah period. We want this reversed.

People are getting together to campaign for safer streets for all, in Edinburgh this weekend 👇 New connected, safe cycle lanes are having a big impact, helping more people to travel actively where they live. It's important to build on this momentum, so the benefits can be felt by more people.

GENDER EQUITY: Meanwhile, road safety more generally determines who decides to cycle in the first place. The evidence is unambiguous: Where protected infrastructure exists, more women and girls get on bikes and the cycling gender gap closes.

Bike box infringement was a factor in the 2023 death of my friend Emma Burke Newman in Glasgow. We need the will to enforce the laws we already have, while at the same time pushing for new ones that matter, like Presumed Liability.

I endorse the 2026 Pedal on Parliament manifesto, notably: SAFETY: Advanced Stop Lines (aka bike boxes) exist at junctions across Scotland. Drivers edge into them before lights change. Heavy vehicles stop across them entirely. Gone is the protected space and head start a cyclist needs to stay safe.
