After the Supreme Court ruling we are clear that we welcome and support all women & girls. Trans & non-binary people are as important to us as biological women & are a valued part of our crew. We welcome allies from any sex, gender or background. #transrightsarehumanrights

This year for #IWD2025 we're doing something a little different. A lunchtime pop-up "safe space" ride around the city centre on Monday 10th March. We'll start outside the City of Edinburgh Council's offices at Waverley Court on East Market Street at 12:30. Bring your noodles!
A woman wearing a blue InfraSisters hi viz vest on a bike. There are two pool noodles attached to the right side of the bike bearing signs saying For A Life Thanks Please Leave Space. The noodles are 1.5m long, the recommended minimum distance for a vehicle to pass a cyclist.

The IWD 2025 campaign theme is 'Accelerate Action'. We ask planners to build infrastructure that's safe & comfortable for women & girls. Many groups have ridden, campaigned, and yet Edinburgh hasn't seen the change it needs as a city to thrive. How can we accelerate action?

If you want to understand why cycle infra buried in old railway cuttings isn't a great solution for half the population listen to Radio 4 and Nick Robinson interviewing his daughter. This is why it should be on-road in well lit, well-used areas. @InfraSisters
