Dozens of cyclists in Edinburgh have gathered to ride through the city at night in protest of unsafe routes that make communters feel "scared" to pass through at night.
An incredible video shows a huge number of cyclists with their bikes lit up as they circle Bristo Square in the city to raise awareness about the lack of safe routes they can take at night across the capital.

The event coinciding with Bonfire Night took place on Saturday November 5 and ended in the city centre with a grand finale around the Edinburgh University campus.
It was organised by Edinburgh group, Infrasisters who arrange mass bike rides throughout the year to promote safe cycling infrastructure across the city.
Those involved thanked everyone for coming out and for the drivers and locals who beeped and shouted in support as they rode through town.
Dozens praised the event for raising awareness of such an important issue.
One social media user wrote: "Great idea! I've now changed to my 'winter route' to commute home on the bike. Less parks, more (busy) roads. It's not much fun."

Another said: "It's no secret that lighting, presence of other moving vehicles & passive surveillance inc. from active frontage are key safety indicators, in terms of prevention of attacks on the person.
" Side streets with less passing traffic & people presence are intuitively more dangerous."
While one added: "Important point being made here."
