Thanks parents and other volunteers for creating and regularly organising “bike buses” for pupils to travel to school together safely, and commends the approach which is helping young people of all ages and abilities to cycle to school</p> <p>2. Recognises the significant volunteer time and effort required to organise one bike bus per month, both on the day and in preparation, and thanks volunteers at Sciennes Primary School and Blackford Safe Routes for their work to create a guide to setting up and running a bike bus which enables more schools to offer a bike bus1</p> <p>3. Notes the significant challenges still remaining, for example offering more frequent bike buses, increasing the number of routes to schools and the number of schools offering a bike bus</p> <p>4. Agrees to consult with bike bus volunteers and pupils on challenges they have identified and to bring back an update to Committee in two cycles on actions to support and enable bike buses to school</p> <p><a href="https://democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=136&amp;MId=332" rel="nofollow">https://democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=136&amp;MId=332</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19521&page=4#post-323018 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 10:36:18 +0000 I were right about that saddle 323018@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They that outlived this day, and came safe home, will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19521&page=4#post-323015 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 10:18:48 +0000 algo 323015@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Another one this morning - might even cross-link in the severe weather thread... some seriously hardy kids on this one..</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/blackfordsafer1/status/1230777273483173892?s=20" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/blackfordsafer1/status/1230777273483173892?s=20</a></p> <p>thanks as always to Roibeard and IWRATS - some seriously hardy forum members to boot </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19521&page=4#post-321397 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 12:11:27 +0000 algo 321397@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>starting again for the year - thanks again @Frenchy and @Roibeard </p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/blackfordsafer1/status/1220633506243653632?s=20" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/blackfordsafer1/status/1220633506243653632?s=20</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19521&page=4#post-320792 Tue, 14 Jan 2020 10:24:32 +0000 algo 320792@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Our next bike bus is on the 24th January - usual details here - in case any of you excellent folk fancy joining us:</p> <p><a href="http://blackfordsaferoutes.co.uk/jgps-travel-committee/cycling-bus/" rel="nofollow">http://blackfordsaferoutes.co.uk/jgps-travel-committee/cycling-bus/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19521&page=4#post-317846 Fri, 15 Nov 2019 10:45:02 +0000 algo 317846@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Another great bike bus today - thanks as ever to @Roibeard @IWRATS @Colin @Frenchy and @nedd1e - </p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/blackfordsafer1/status/1195265947751387137?s=20" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/blackfordsafer1/status/1195265947751387137?s=20</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19521&page=4#post-317606 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 13:06:41 +0000 I were right about that saddle 317606@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have put entry in work diary with reminder for the Thursday afternoon.
