Perhaps they start off the procession with their wonderful posters and t-shirts and then all the bikes can overtake. That way all the walkers can arrive at parliament before the last of the bikes arrive.</p> <p>(To clarify this motivation) This movement is about making cycling an option for 95% of the population and consistant for improving the walkability of our living spaces. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12273#post-143367 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 14:03:42 +0000 sallyhinch 143367@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Please do, that would be brilliant and exactly what we want.</p> <p>Lynne McNicoll (step mother of Andrew McNicoll and a big supporter of POP) will be on foot this year because she broke her wrist in the ice. I think she's looking for people to join her.</p> <p>The only thing I would say is that if folk are coming on foot, they should bring something (placard, banner, t-shirt) that identifies them as part of POP. We had a few families who came on foot last time it did look as if they had just wandered in by mistake (at least that was the comments some people made on some of the photos). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12273#post-143342 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 00:13:58 +0000 chdot 143342@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good idea. </p> <p>Sign up Leslie Hinds. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12273#post-143341 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 00:02:53 +0000 i 143341@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just to throw the idea out to people. Should we help organise a pedestrian group of people to go to Parliament along with the main PoP3 group?</p> <p>This would be for those who want things to be better but can't use a bike considering their circumstances. </p>
