Same pop-up panda design as last year. It's t-shirt weather, so fill your boots ... all proceeds will go towards next year's POP and/or organising some sort of PoP-on-COP activity, assuming we're ever allowed out again</p> <p><a href="https://pedalonparliament.org/merchandise/" rel="nofollow">https://pedalonparliament.org/merchandise/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19978&page=3#post-328558 Tue, 28 Apr 2020 09:22:59 +0000 I were right about that saddle 328558@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>All Dun has two followers.
