That’s interesting to see the evolution of the idea with Shutl – it makes sense how they built on that initial research.

In reply to Body Fat Calculator. It’s interesting that Edinburgh manages such strong cycling numbers despite the hills and the weather—14.2% commuting by bike is seriously impressive, especially compared with the rest of Scotland. I also liked the mention of Spokes and their role in pushing cycling locally; it makes the city’s success feel very community-driven.

Great post about Edinburgh’s cycling culture! I had no idea the percentage was that high compared to the rest of Scotland—14.2% is impressive for a city with that kind of terrain. It’s encouraging to see grassroots organizations like Spokes making a real difference in getting people on bikes, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

Comment on Have your Say on the Park Terrace Cycleway by Rob

I am NOT paying these current fuel prices.! I can’t afford it! So I am cycling, and I am suddenly so damn grateful for all these cycleways. But I am terrified when I see a person walking or jogging on a shared path because many have headphones on and when I call ‘coming through on your right’ or ring my bike bell, they don’t hear me, and I am worried they will suddenly step right into my path and we’ll both get injured. I am getting to work quicker than in the car, and am really enjoying the ride. The ride home has become my decompression time as I transition from work mode to home mode! It’s great! I have already lost 3 kgs too!

Comment on Draft 2026/27 Chch Annual Plan – Kicking the Cycleway can down the road? by Daniel Griffiths

When people are paying $4 a liter for “Putin Juice”, it would make more sense to push ahead with the cycle ways and defer some of the roading expenditure.

Years ago, when they first opened I requested bike stands at this site. Fell into a deep hole of inaction obviously.

Comment on Flashback Friday: Do cycle crossings need a bell? by Daniel Griffiths

Love the idea. I cross the one on Lincon Rd every day and I can easily miss the silent green signal while watching for cars that might be going so fast that will run the red.
