Some hints from Inverness and Glasgow that this might be the case. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19914#post-317995 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 20:14:08 +0000 wingpig 317995@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cover them with FLAGS.

Rather than being limited to the maximal size of stencil for the whole thing, each character can be as big as the confines of your stencil/mask material (or bigger, as a few bits could be joined together). There'd be no leaving wee support struts in to hold the insides of Ps, Ds, As, Os or Rs. Once all your letters are cut out you simply attach them all to a bit of wood (with a wee spacer block so that you can spray all around the wood) then simply walk around with your huge bit of wood with plastic/cardboard letters attached, lower it to the ground then skoosh around the perimeter of all the individual letters.</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/2hMuEeU"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49085234926_9c729b2f88_n.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19914#post-317980 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 16:57:20 +0000 Darkerside 317980@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Rebrand PoP to use a casual script font? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19914#post-317979 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 16:32:22 +0000 I were right about that saddle 317979@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Chalk pantograph. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19914#post-317967 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 14:53:36 +0000 wingpig 317967@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It CAN fold but folding is not vital to the solution. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19914#post-317966 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 14:28:55 +0000 Darkerside 317966@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is it something that folds?</p> <p>I bet it's something that folds. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19914#post-317964 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 13:22:51 +0000 wingpig 317964@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm covering both children so can't make it, unless anyone has a soundproof box to put the small child in, but always happy to chalk, poster, handlebarflyeratrailwaystations and so on. If anyone wants the box of excess flags they're on the top of my wardrobe.<br /> I also have a cunning workaround for the spray-chalk stencil-size issue. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19914#post-317951 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 12:05:48 +0000 unhurt 317951@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Attending but a bit late as I've got a thing ending at 7 across town. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19914#post-317944 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 10:56:55 +0000 I were right about that saddle 317944@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I cannae, as I shall be in Glasgow.

Basically this is the start of the planning process for next year - and as always we do need people who can get involved and help. </p> <p>We also want to know what went well and what didn't, whether you were a pop-up organiser or a participant. </p> <p>If you can't make it on the night, but have stuff to say, email <a href="mailto:hello@pedalonparliament.org">hello@pedalonparliament.org</a> or comment here</p> <p><a href="https://pedalonparliament.org/announcement-of-agm/" rel="nofollow">https://pedalonparliament.org/announcement-of-agm/</a> </p>
