There's something lovely when all three buses we rely on (71+E11+E1) run late at same time. ๐Ÿ˜† Means plenty of time to cross the many highways around Dundee! Lovely evening for travelling electric (first 7 miles diesel). Trip up had two bikes booked on board. One E-bike, one manual. @spokes.org.uk

Mobile sun beds are(n't) trending! ๐ŸŒž But... the two or three wheeled reclined format allows a solar array to go where it needs to. A decade of Voyage Solaire events prove it can be done. Azub from ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Czechia cover in link. Pleased to be dealers for this innovative company!

A person rides a bike up a sunlit street in the evening; a pedestrian waits to cross outside of a classic pub frontage for โ€˜The Conan Doyleโ€™ with a black facade and golden trim, with hanging plants outside. The weather is dry, and in the background we can see rising sandstone and glass shops and offices under a blue sky, as well as the steps leading up to a cathedral building as passers-by pass by.

Q. How low can you go? Last decade we shifted quite a few of these red metallic folding Sprint 26 models from Inspired Cycle Engineering (Not yet on BlueSky ๐Ÿ˜ž). Still available in 2026 with or without a motor. A. Around 25cm seat height with excellent stability and visibility. (Model for sale)

Want a simple measure of walkability for your city?

Really know your councils travel priorities?

Where to visit for a grass green walkable paradise? Or to keep away from sewer brown car dominated concrete sprawls.

Good to see Labour MSPs agreeing with the SNP and Greens on this. Sad to see the Liberal Democrats actually voted against Scotland's right to decide!๐Ÿ‘Ž This from a party that once believed in home rule and currently enthuses on rejoining the European Union ! ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

Flown out of Edinburgh with separable reclined tandem twice. Once to La Rochelle and second time to Copenhagen to go up into Sweden. Didn't have time to go overland. ยฃ500 million pound development! ๐Ÿ’ฐ One of the larger public transport projects. Could electrify a railway for that!

If you own a cargo bike (or trike) then please drop by to share your experience of how it's benefitted your family or work transport needs. โค๏ธ

On Wed lots of other two wheelers on A93 to Braemar. (54miles round trip). Recliner = low energy = comfort, plus only fun road bike I have ๐Ÿ˜†! Steepest bit slow but Strava average. Downhill rapido. Av 14.5mph twice by Glenshee Ski. Well done to Peak Tour LeJoG riders 80 mile ride slogging up north.

Was it haddock? Did you have salt & sauce? ๐Ÿ˜† Good to do that and great that the train is there from Dunbar to let you do an evening ride. Time on a bike is never wasted. ๐Ÿ‘

@laidbackbikes.bsky.socialSep 18, 2026, 8:00 AM

You did however break free โ›“๏ธ from the chain gangs and tackle Talla ahead of the crowd. ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ Your Optma didn't need to draft of course, as aero profile way lower than uprights saving you lots of watts. Did you not average 23mph + !? Optima moved on to UAs. Parts box arrived this week with logo.

Agree that there is something nice about sailing down the Forth. Also loved cycling out to Rosyth and going to Zeebrugge and cycling onto Amsterdam years ago. If the new offering had been to Esbjerg then campervans from England may have driven here on way to other parts of Scandinavia?
