I'm just back from a whistle-stop tour of every cycling-related Facebook group in Scotland noising them up (and promoting renewed manifesto launch, and merchandise that launched today) - hopefully that sets some more conversations going. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21920#post-384021 Sat, 02 May 2026 15:01:59 +0000 Tulyar 384021@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thoughts for greater distances?</p> <p>with 3 commercial express coach operators &amp; 2 with cycle space reservations assisted outbound/return covered plus 12 trains/hr on on cross Scotland routes, a lot to coordinate </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21920#post-384012 Fri, 01 May 2026 12:22:25 +0000 SRD 384012@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have asked a few local* stalwarts to help with HP feeder ride. </p> <p>Would welcome further volunteers!</p> <p>*To CCE </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21920#post-384010 Fri, 01 May 2026 12:20:18 +0000 chdot 384010@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Harrison Park Feeder Ride [30 May] </p> <p><a href="https://www.komoot.com/tour/2923273909?" rel="nofollow">https://www.komoot.com/tour/2923273909?</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21920#post-384007 Fri, 01 May 2026 10:02:05 +0000 bakky 384007@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Feeder rides update:</p> <p><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1uhHvzfDjyft6xbLAKUaLY7Fvnbs291c&amp;ll=55.95975099082166,-3.2975934094000348&amp;z=12"><img src="https://iili.io/BsQk7pI.md.png"></a></p> <p>Purple are confirmed - Leith, Porty, Bruntsfield, Fairmilehead, Bridgend Farmhouse;</p> <p>Orange we still need an organisation or person to take them on.

While Pedal on Parliament is not responsible for these rides, we want to ensure that we support and resource those running them as best as we can.</p> <p>We’re not asking you to run a formal ‘led ride’ - simply to offer moral (and potentially mechanical!) support for folks to ride in together. It’s great if feeder rides can aim to use as much off-road and protected cycle infrastructure as possible along the way to help make the ride as family-friendly as possible, but we also welcome feeder rides that are explicitly following a road route and we can be open about their suitability when listing them online.</p> <p><strong>What we can offer</strong></p> <p>We are:</p> <p>Centrally plotting proactive contact with a number of organisations and supporters around the city who have run feeder rides previously, or who are well placed to contribute;</p> <p>Able to help make suggestions about routes, and tying in with other groups we’ve heard might be running a feeder ride;</p> <p>Asking that some of our marshals try and join their local feeder ride to support it en-route</p> <p>Promoting feeder rides for 2026 on our website (update soon) and social media</p> <p>What we need from you</p> <p>In four stages:</p> <p>Expression of interest; confirm to <a href="mailto:hello@pedalonparliament.org">hello@pedalonparliament.org</a> that you’re able to run a feeder ride on 30th May, with the aim to arrive at the Meadows around 11am</p> <p>Your expected route; we’re asking that everyone plots their route using Komoot and shares it with us, which should allow us to gather these routes into a collection there but also for participants to fully understand the way in — and also lets us spot opportunities for feeder rides to pick up others along the way;</p> <p>Other details; the point you’re gathering at (landmarks are good!), the time you’re expecting to leave, and any other considerations for your specific ride; </p> <p>Promotion: promoting your feeder ride also helps promote PoP26; we can provide some graphics for social media use and / or any RSVP-able online event you might use to track potential attendees. </p> <p>If you have any questions or concerns, just drop us a line on <a href="mailto:hello@pedalonparliament.org">hello@pedalonparliament.org</a> </p>
