Failing that, the currently injured (thinking broken limbs eg!)? </p> <p>*extra bonus, they might enjoy it so much they might become converts? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18760#post-280753 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 09:08:30 +0000 sallyhinch 280753@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was thinking David Attenborough but I expect he'd be even more unobtainable. </p> <p>I think I met your parents jdanielp - I was looking for some banner volunteers and they very kindly agreed. They didn't look as if they were quite in the CWA demographic. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18760#post-280751 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 08:33:25 +0000 I were right about that saddle 280751@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If Her Britannic Majesty Elizabeth II was up next weekend that would be cool. More fun than most of the grim stuff she does too. Anyone got her e-mail? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18760#post-280741 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 21:35:38 +0000 jdanielp 280741@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Unfortunately the Northern Streams music festival is not the same weekend as PoP for the first time in a few years else I could have volunteered my parents, which would have been appropriate in more ways than just age since they are holding the PoP banner in the Facebook event photo... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18760#post-280738 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 18:04:57 +0000 Tulyar 280738@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dare you tweet this and discuss with Fraser, as to who handles the response?</p> <p>Alternatively perhaps get SAGA/Sunday Post to a)suggest folk b) cover the event, with a bias to passengers <strong>and riders</strong> of the more venerable status. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18760#post-280730 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 13:43:00 +0000 sallyhinch 280730@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Cycling without Age people are bringing their trishaws to POP but they need passengers </p> <p>"I would not be able bring our regular care home passengers over, too long a day for them so we will need to arrange who will be able to be our passengers on the day. There is a lady from Dumfries who wants a ride for her mother who was a keen cyclist all her life so we are trying to get her up to Edin. Is there any elderly iconic figure you could encourage to come join us?"</p> <p>Any ideas? </p>
