I spoke to him at PoP last year:<br /> <a href="http://wisob.wordpress.com/2014/04/28/on-pedal-on-parliament-2014/" rel="nofollow">http://wisob.wordpress.com/2014/04/28/on-pedal-on-parliament-2014/</a><br /> but haven't really made use of the contact. He's definitely "on our side" (as far as I can tell from the brief conversation I had with him - but that Barcelona piece backs this up). I meant to contact him about next year's PoP - would it be appropriate to suggest he could come on the Harrison Park feeder ride? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13950#post-172403 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 18:00:27 +0000 chdot 172403@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>Spokes CycleCampaign (@SpokesLothian)<br /> 16/11/2014 14:34<br /> .@MarcoBiagiMSP For segreg #cycling lanes @Edinburgh_CC now has budget :) but needs #political #courage to take space from cars @CyclingEdin</p> <p>"</p> <p>"</p> <p>Spokes CycleCampaign (@SpokesLothian)<br /> 16/11/2014 14:55<br /> E-W city-centre route will be big test of this courage!

It was the one where father Jack drank the floor polish and seemed to be dead. Father Dougal had to administer the last rites, he was not familiar with them and managed to insert the words Roberto Baggio into them. Genius. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13950#post-172395 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 14:57:03 +0000 chdot 172395@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>Amidst enjoying the culture, architecture and febrile political atmosphere of a recess break I had decided to put to the test what I’ve said – that if the city I was in had a network of off-road cycle paths I would be happy to get off my two feet and onto two wheels.
