#waverley

You may know we like a #parkrun. Both of us (we're a husband & wife team) run and volunteer regularly for our local one. You may also know the billionaire sponsored hate group "Women's Sports Union" (note: they want to regress women's sports and there's nothing uniting about them) have given Parkrun a deadline of Friday before legal action is taken because men, women, and everyone in-between go for a jog on a Saturday morning while volunteers with a stopwatch time it. There goal is to erase trans people from public life under a BS guise of protecting women's spaces. #Stonewall have a #Rainbowlaces campaign as a simple way to show your support against the hate - https://www.stonewall.org.uk/get-involved/support-us/rainbow-laces We've bought a pair each. For £15 it's a cheap way be visible at events and we encourage you to support the campaign too. We're Tailwalkers at #Waverley Lakes parkrun this Saturday (in case you're close). It's unlikely the laces will arrive before then but will wear for future ones. #MovewithPride

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚲 #Edinburgh #Waverley #railway station has renewed its partnership with The Bike Station to pass on unclaimed #bicycles for refurbishment and reuse. Each year, dozens of bikes are left at the station. Over the past two years, more than 60 have been abandoned after attempts to reunite them with owners. Bikes are stored in cycle racks for up to two weeks, then moved to secure storage for six months before being released if unclaimed. On 22 April, around 30 bicycles were collected and taken to Polmont Prison for cleaning and servicing as part of the refurbishment process. The Bike Station refurbishes and resells bikes at affordable prices, reinvesting income into #cycling access projects, maintenance training and schemes such as Kids Bike Life. The initiative helps reduce congestion at busy #cycle storage areas while supporting sustainable transport, skills development and wider community access to #cycling. https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/edinburgh-waverley-donates-abandoned-bicycles-to-local-cycling-charity
