Summary

Jo, a woman living with MS in Edinburgh, reveals how new cycle lanes and tram extensions have turned her once-familiar street into a perilous maze, forcing her to constantly dodge speeding bikes and navigate crumbling pavements. She’s not alone—elderly residents are also getting hurt or scared off, and delivery trucks block sidewalks, turning daily commutes into survival missions. Despite council claims of safety and accessibility, Jo demands smarter, inclusive design that actually protects people using mobility aids, not just cyclists.
