Sorry - haven’t been on the site much lately, so thanks to @resurf for mentioning this. The Wordpress site is probably the best bet for social media links, although I tend to tweet about them from @NiallA_Ed (haven’t bothered setting up a bike bus specific account). Main communication is of course email out to the school community. </p> <p>We had about 60 children and 40 adults yesterday, and a variety of vehicles : scooters, trailer bikes and one cargo bike. It was a bit nippy, so I think that counts as a success.</p> <p>We are planning to run monthly on the first Friday of the month through to June, but also beginning to think about what we might do for the Sustrans Big Pedal in the week leading up to the PoP weekend (that Friday will be our contribution to the Pop-Ups). Possibly a daily bike bus? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19536&page=2#post-323985 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 21:28:03 +0000 Rosie 323985@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Found someone tweeting.</p> <p><a href="https://dmainsbikebus.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">https://dmainsbikebus.wordpress.com/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19536&page=2#post-323981 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 21:06:14 +0000 chdot 323981@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fabulous photo -</p> <p><a href="https://dmainsbikebus.wordpress.com/2019/10/23/the-journey-begins/" rel="nofollow">https://dmainsbikebus.wordpress.com/2019/10/23/the-journey-begins/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19536&page=2#post-323980 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 20:39:43 +0000 resurf 323980@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll check tomorrow - there is a blog @NiallA started which is how I found out:<br /> <a href="https://dmainsbikebus.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">https://dmainsbikebus.wordpress.com/</a></p> <p>He is on CCE a fair bit too but didn't see anything mentioning it so took it upon myself to bump this thread. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19536&page=2#post-323979 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 20:31:21 +0000 Rosie 323979@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@resurf - is there a Facebook page or a twitter to link to for social media? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19536#post-323977 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 20:29:49 +0000 resurf 323977@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Next DMains bike bus tomorrow morning. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19536#post-309151 Thu, 20 Jun 2019 22:24:01 +0000 resurf 309151@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@biketrain it was this morning, hope you made it.

A few selected photos here:</p> <p><a href="https://flickr.com/photos/100220759@N06/sets/72157680085106208" rel="nofollow">https://flickr.com/photos/100220759@N06/sets/72157680085106208</a></p> <p>I really wasn’t expecting so many people to turn up. There was huge support from the school community, and people just kept appearing as we went round the route. Even had to alter a small part of the route on the fly as we were too large to fit along a section of NCN1! Feedback from parents, school and Councillor Work has been incredibly positive.</p> <p>I wasn’t able to get a count of participants, but we must have been at about 150+. I was quite overwhelmed by it all! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19536#post-305328 Fri, 26 Apr 2019 11:21:55 +0000 fimm 305328@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Seems to have been a success:<br /> <a href="https://twitter.com/CllrNormanWork/status/1121685178290585600" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/CllrNormanWork/status/1121685178290585600</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/rickmccluggage/status/1121703604476416000" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/rickmccluggage/status/1121703604476416000</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19536#post-305037 Sun, 21 Apr 2019 16:35:34 +0000 NiallA 305037@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So, planning is coming together for this - thanks to everyone for the advice and help so far. One or two people I have bumped into around the area have mentioned it to me, so the advertising is having some effect - now to see what interest we get n the day.</p> <p>Good luck to the other events happening over the weekend, and hope everyone here will be able to contribute to one of them, somewhere along the way.</p> <p>Niall </p>
