It’s very useful for members to cycle their local routes regularly, particularly at peak times, school drop off etc to get a full idea of issues &amp; daily experiences."</em></p> <p>So, I've dropped him an email.

I just chanced my arm. Said he'd check his diary and see if he had a space. </p> <p>He didn't strike me as insincere, I just don't think he sees mass bicyclism as a serious option for urban Scotland. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18704#post-279119 Sat, 31 Mar 2018 10:34:48 +0000 I were right about that saddle 279119@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Arellcat</p> <p>Oooh. <em>I</em>'d be scared to ride a tandem round town myself, and the optics for a politician being on the back of a bike wearing a plastic hat are not good.</p> <p>Mr Yousaf does own a bike of his own, probably best he rode that?
