The IWD 2025 campaign theme is 'Accelerate Action'. We ask planners to build infrastructure that's safe & comfortable for women & girls. Many groups have ridden, campaigned, and yet Edinburgh hasn't seen the change it needs as a city to thrive. How can we accelerate action?

This year for #IWD2025 we're doing something a little different. A lunchtime pop-up "safe space" ride around the city centre on Monday 10th March. We'll start outside the City of Edinburgh Council's offices at Waverley Court on East Market Street at 12:30. Bring your noodles!
A woman in a blue hi viz vest on a bike.  The bike has two pool noodles pointing out from the right side bearing signs saying For A Life Thanks Please Leave Space.   The legal minimum distance for a vehicle to give a cyclist is 1.5m, the length of the noodles.

Exactly. We celebrate the quality of living in countries like Denmark and the Netherlands - who 70 years ago decided to make a firm policy decision to improve public health and quality of life. We need elected members willing to make the same bold commitments.

Adding When Driving is not an Option by @nondriver.bsky.social to the essential reading I recommend around transportation. As a disabled person who cycles for transportation, not a lot was surprising to me in the book. But it’s approachable with data, stories, and specific recommendations. 1/3
The cover of a book called When Driving is not an Option by Anna Zivarts. The cover has a drawn illustration of people waiting at a bus stop and some of those people are obviously disabled (wheelchair user, white cane user).

What is the Dutch word for the feeling you get when your parent holds a hand on your back as you bike together? Love? Happy Valentine's Day ❤️ Wat is het Nederlandse woord voor het gevoel dat je krijgt als je ouder een hand op je rug houdt terwijl je samen fietst? Liefde?
