Drivel! One of the biggest wastes of money ever created! Hardly ever see anyone using it!

1000 more journeys in January. So an average of 32 more per day… presuming most people return the way they came, that is 16 more people a day using a bike. Wld it be unreasonable to say they are mostly the same people each day too? Perhaps 30 more cyclists than last year…

How can we make cities safer and more equitable as climate change accelerates? 🏙️⛈️ Mozambique's experience shows us the way 👇

It cost ~£20m but since "opening" has never been usable end-2-end because of flaws (eg. Wester Coates & Haymarket), other works (eg. closed for months at Rosebery Cres), closed for months because of the Melville St works. Not exactly the success story you'd like us to believe 🧐

Carefull use of numbers 1000 more , also heard it was up 83% so that means it's gone from 1200 to 2200 that's just 73 cycle journeys a day so roughly it's getting 40 cyclists a day , that doesn't fill one floor of a bus .. and you are pleased ? You should be ashamed

Motormouths frothing! Laughable how small minded men with small dicks get agitated about cycling. Just cause they can’t.. 😂

People cannot see what’s good for us as a society. Obesity and inactivity levels off the scale. Kids suffering with that. Dangerous noisy streets and people still won’t admit this is a good thing. Keep going. Well done Scotland.
