165435Photo #165435[Image taken 7.7.18] Noticeboards next to cycle parking inside Waverley Station, Edinburgh. They are used for publicising events and to provide other information of interest to people who cycle. An excellent practice other cities could adopt.
[In October 2018] the Lothian Cycle Campaign, Spokes (www.spokes.org.uk/) explained how it worked: "The material to go on the boards is entirely supplied by Spokes - usually as pdf's which the station then prints and puts them on the board. It is up to us to contact the station when we wish to change the content, and they then do it quite quickly...
...Historically we have had a series of boards in the station for many years, at different locations as the station developed, under similar arrangements to the above. The station manager decides the locations." See also: #165436, #165437, #165438.		Cycle parking:

162423Photo #162423Ferry Road is a very busy and wide road which encourages cars to drive too fast which makes cycling on this road stressful and dangerous. A permanent segragated cycle path should be erected to facilitate bike users and would give pedestrians an overflow to maintain physical distancing.Cycleway:

150122Photo #150122The shared pavement and cycle way here is a joke. It gets really narrow by the bus stop where people are waiting and getting on and off buses. It's both dangourous for pedestrians and cyclists trying to filter through safely. It get's even worse on bin day when you also have to dodge them. This is a major route from West Lothian in to Edinburgh and needs big improvements.Cycleway:
