Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Family visit on at moment. Multi-modal commute using Urban Arrow over Moulin moor. So easy. Lots of traffic going to Kirkmichael Highland Show.

These either are a car replacement allowing families to be car free or run one car instead of two. Cargo bike = city car.

Mission accomplished. 👍20 Aug 2026 14:00 +0000at://did:plc:qm6e6ldc62o7cdopazrecrfw/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtjfrzyfe22shttps://bsky.app/profile/laidbackbikes.bsky.social/post/3mth627nzq22jDon't normally re-post own posts but Highlands do have connectivity problems. We should debate A9 dualling + EVs etc with wider 'improve transport' & handle road closures better around the 'A9 + Pitlochry corridor'? @bellacaledonia.bsky.social @scotnational.bsky.social @highlandcyclists.bsky.social [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 Aug 2026 16:36 +0000at://did:plc:qm6e6ldc62o7cdopazrecrfw/app.bsky.feed.post/3mth627nzq22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/laidbackbikes.bsky.social/post/3mtgtrfc3l22hOne for @edinburghbug.bsky.social We did the same at Picardy Place coming back on 124 East Coast after half marathon on Sunday.

HGVs were still thundering by roadside cottages at 10pm as huge backlog. 😠 Faster parallel rail exists but single track. Time it was upgraded to reduce road reliance. @futureeconscot.bsky.social19 Aug 2026 12:33 +0000at://did:plc:qm6e6ldc62o7cdopazrecrfw/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtgqighyss2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/laidbackbikes.bsky.social/post/3mtbnmthr3s2qBus travel is great - but reliant on main roads staying open. Crash at Hermitage / Dunkeld has blocked A9. We're on Ember bus and can see on tracking four E-buses off route near Aberfelldy running 80 minutes late. Another stream of traffic going south via A924 and A93 through Kirkmichael.17 Aug 2026 11:59 +0000at://did:plc:qm6e6ldc62o7cdopazrecrfw/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtbnmthr3s2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/laidbackbikes.bsky.social/post/3mt7xn7227k2uIf you want to discover how easy cycling is, run a half marathon! 😆 Raising money for https://www.peoplesfundraising.com/fundraising/half-marathon-run-for-edinburgh-direct-aid Working in 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 and more.

Certainly feels like that from an Ember bus. Edinburgh Airport: 15.8 million passengers per annum. Edinburgh Waverley + Haymarket: around 26 million.

Yes, a Bosch mid-drive helps but cycling loads all day uses loads of leg power too. This Urban Arrow XL is EUUK legal with 250W motor - moves up to 100kg!
