I noticed that the central section of the Cowgate was speed restricted the other night but isn’t in the day time. That could be useful to allow regular speeds outwith peak hours/overnight in some areas (parks/Lawnmarket etc)

The road closed barriers are up now in the Cowgate but you can get through on a bike. And so far also in a car. Which is going to have to be stopped

Cycled through the Cowgate yesterday evening - fewer cars than usual, but definately not "no cars".

App usability has been reduced by individual bikes no longer appearing - there's now a grouped 5+, 10+ etc lump for each parking spot so you can't choose a specific bike to reserve in advance.

It's showing individual bikes for me currently.

Likewise, checked and my app is up to date also; on an AyePhone, suspect a blip rather than a new policy?

While lone bikes do show up (Android app), as soon as there are two or more bikes parked at the same spot the app shows these as 2+, 5+ and so on. You cannot see individual bikes within these groups - which used to be visible.

Nightmare!
Some solace would be - that has to be a bug, to my eyes, if it’s not also been rolled out to iOS at the same time. I’ll send a wee message on and see what comes of it.

I'm on iOS and I see the "grouping" behaviour and am unable to select individual bikes now. Tap on the group and it just shows one bike and there are no UI affordances to move between the individual ones. I'd wondered if they'd maybe let you swipe between once you selected the group, which would make some sense.
Definitely a usability regression but given the incomplete rollout maybe they are A/B testing and will revert.
