And things like designing (remember the Pandas and Sloths?)</p> <p>Others flyered, postered, chalked, told their friends and turned up for the celebration ride. </p> <p>A key few organised the Feeder Rides - a great way to get the more cautious to The Meadows. </p> <p>Plenty opportunities to join in/help this year. </p> <p>Many did smaller but important things for the whole design style (Pandas, Sloths etc.)</p> <p>The lead organiser this year is a relatively new CCEer. </p> <p>Things roll on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21874#post-382965 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 11:34:57 +0000 chdot 382965@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>We’re Back!</p> <p>SAVE THE DATE: We Pedal on Parliament on Saturday 30th May 2026, 11:30am from Middle Meadow Walk to Holyrood, Edinburgh, on closed roads — for a cycle-friendly Scotland.</p> <p>Follow us for more news on:</p> <p><a href="https://mailchi.mp/46ba0e714d34/2026-mailing-list-signup">Our Mailing List</a> | <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/pedalonparliament.org">Bluesky</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/popscotland/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PedalonParliament">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://x.com/popscotland">twitter</a> </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://pedalonparliament.org/" rel="nofollow">https://pedalonparliament.org/</a> </p>
