Beautiful map about transport to Greater Manchester music venues. Nice touches like faded pink backgrounds on the venue names looking like an EQ output. Seems it might be an in-house thing by Transport for Greater Manchester? Would love more details. www.gmmusiccommission.co.uk/news-insight... #GMMC

Calder@calderwook.bsky.social · 9mo agoI wonder what route they will take to get to the A7. I guess down Old Dalkeith Road. Lap of Arthers Seat for a bit of extra fun seems unlikely looking at the profile.
Some photos from August ride to Porty @edcriticalmass.bsky.social. Slow going at times but lots of riders and one pet passenger. Prom full of buskers and a band. City centre heaving with last of Festival folk. #criticalmass

Amazing to be able to place the origins of the game in Edinburgh. I think being played somewhere around modern day Fountainbridge or Gorgie?
Andy Mitchell@andymitchellmedia.bsky.social · 7mo ago200 years of Edinburgh football: #OTD 20 March 1826, a receipt to John Hope for the rental of Dalry Park, for archery in summer and his Foot-Ball Club in winter. The club - the world's first - was founded in 1824 and played on one of the fields near Dalry House.
Great turnout for @edcriticalmass.bsky.social today. Included a roller blader, a dog, a few hire bikes and some kids. A bit eventful at times but mostly relaxed with some nice chat. Wet at first but we got a bit of blue sky.
GoBike have posted for the first time in a while. Hopefully more to follow…
GoBike Strathclyde@gobikeglasgow.bsky.social · 9mo agoWhere were we? Inverclyde Council are looking at a new Active Travel Strategy. There’s been progress since their 2018 ATS (especially on coastal routes). But what are barriers to walking, wheeling or cycling for short trips and which routes should be prioritised? forms.office.com/pages/respon...
Just made it to Critical Mass - on #Voi hire bike this time. Shorter ride in city centre - busy but stayed dry. Played Scottish playlist since it was near Burns night. Liked blasting Teenage Fanclub at St Andrews Square! @edcriticalmass.bsky.social

I also wonder why UK doesn’t make more of tidal. There’s been plenty of time to expand from successful pilot projects… #Orkney bsky.app/profile/dash...
Smart Growth UK@smartgrowthuk.bsky.social · 10mo agoIt might be possible to accept some small loss of farmland/nature for wind or solar power IF the UK were making serious use of its massive #TidalPower potential. But it's making virtually none, for some obscure, pig-headed, Whitehall reason. tinyurl.com/mpvebf7f

Last Critical Mass of 2025. Shorter city centre route - rough figure of 8 loop over and under South Bridge. Stayed dry - a bit chilly so thanks to #TheCausey for hot drink! @edcriticalmass.bsky.social
Ellen’s Glen - a few years after the trees were cut down and umpteen years since the bank collapsed… the wall is reinstated and fences are away! 🎉 Bollards back in too. Bittersweet for us - a certain someone would’ve loved extra wheeling room but been annoyed at no fences to shake. 🥺 @spokes.org.uk

Some good points to put to businesses about car parking versus public transport. Written about a neighbourhood in Vancouver, Canada but applies to cities in UK or around the world…
Vision Zero Vancouver@visionzerovancouver.ca · last yr.Is parking really the best use of our limited curbspace? Great piece by @michaelhall.bsky.social "While curbspace for parked cars is a finite resource that plateaued when the concrete curbs were first poured, transit is a source of business that has incredible growth potential."
Standing on grand piano to show off those strides! #totp
