(Mr fimm has done Transvulcania, the ultra marathon he mentioned at the beginning of his story.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21547#post-375283 Mon, 03 Jun 2024 08:20:35 +0000 LaidBack 375283@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Mrs LB and I went to Theee Wheel Drive on Saturday night. Film about hand-cycling to a bothy and back. Power assisted trikes giving three people the chance to access parts of the outdoors normally denied them.<br /> EdFoC is great at presenting the less usual aspects of what cycling can do.<br /> We'll be going to closing film next Sunday night at Cameo. (Yes - I know poster makes it look like typical cycling film but believe it's not)</p> <p><a href="https://edfoc.org.uk/events/chasing-the-sun/" rel="nofollow">https://edfoc.org.uk/events/chasing-the-sun/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21547#post-375282 Sun, 02 Jun 2024 20:30:17 +0000 SRD 375282@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice to catch up with bill and fimm! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21547#post-375276 Sun, 02 Jun 2024 18:57:47 +0000 SRD 375276@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone else at the Ian Walker event? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21547#post-375268 Sat, 01 Jun 2024 22:49:54 +0000 Kim 375268@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is loads of great stuff going on, don't miss out...</p> <p>but I would say that... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21547#post-375259 Sat, 01 Jun 2024 08:10:22 +0000 Rosie 375259@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>CAN CYCLING MAKE TRANSPORT SUSTAINABLE?</p> <p>Wednesday 5 June 2024, 2:00pm<br /> Lecture to complement the exhibition ‘Pedal Power: Cycling and Activism in Edinburgh’</p> <p>We know transport as it is today - relying heavily on cars - is unsustainable. They create climate-damaging emissions, clog city centres, lead to illnesses, and injure and kill far too many of us. The Government’s watchdog Committee recently said Scotland’s climate target is looking unreachable without drastic action.</p> <p>Some believe we can solve all those problems if lots more of us take to cycling - but is that true?</p> <p>How sustainable is cycling really, and just how much of it would it take?</p> <p>Come on a quick trip from the environmental impacts of the bike, arriving at what a city that relies on them instead could look like.</p> <p>Dr Brendan Hill is a sustainability expert who wants us all to be warm at home and able to get about without destroying earth’s life support systems. Originally a biologist and journalist, he’s now an academic and consultant. He regularly uses legs, wheels, and small and large motorised objects to move around.<br /> <a href="https://www.edinburghmuseums.org.uk/whats-on/can-cycling-make-transport-sustainable" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghmuseums.org.uk/whats-on/can-cycling-make-transport-sustainable</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21547#post-375257 Sat, 01 Jun 2024 07:57:32 +0000 Rosie 375257@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>PEDAL ON: CYCLING CAMPAIGNING IN EDINBURGH<br /> Museum of Edinburgh<br /> Saturday 8 June 2pm</p> <p>There are many groups in Edinburgh that campaign to make our city a safe place for cycling.
