Others too like Duck Marshall and Andy Catlin, but I can't remember who else. Laid Back said he too busy selling bikes to come to PoP, but I think it's because his t-shirt hadn't arrived in time. ;)</p> <p>I had a long chat with DaveC, had a nice catch up with Stella aka @CycleSouthEdin, and also with Pete Clinch from Dundee. Laid Back and I rode with Pete back in 2005 when we did our Rannoch trip, but I only recognised him by his cap since he was on a Moulton today and not his recumbent. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21948#post-384518 Sat, 30 May 2026 22:49:18 +0000 chdot 384518@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/thousands-edinburgh-cyclists-take-streets-34038643" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/thousands-edinburgh-cyclists-take-streets-34038643</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21948#post-384517 Sat, 30 May 2026 21:03:50 +0000 chdot 384517@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2026/05/pedal-on-parliament-makes-demands-of-new-government/" rel="nofollow">https://theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2026/05/pedal-on-parliament-makes-demands-of-new-government/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21948#post-384512 Sat, 30 May 2026 17:28:55 +0000 Greenroofer 384512@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was lovely to see many stalwarts of the Evil Cycling Lobby today, some of whom I've not seen for years.</p> <p>As ever, I was struck by how wonderful the bicycle is when you see it moving through a city in large numbers.<br /> <ul><li>Thousands of people assembled on the Meadows without generating any pollution, parking problems or queues of coaches.</li><li>They moved down the Parliament without conflict with people on foot and without spoiling the atmosphere of the Royal Mile. Certainly in the area I was in, people on foot would scoot across in the gaps between riders. We could see each other and make eye contact and it was a very human interaction</li><li>Thousands of people then melted away again from the Parliament without any fuss</li></ul></p> <p>Aren't bikes brilliant.</p> <p>Well done @bakky </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21948#post-384511 Sat, 30 May 2026 17:19:03 +0000 bakky 384511@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>cream crackered. cheers all</p> <p><a href="https://pedalonparliament.org/press-release-over-a-thousand-people-cycle-through-edinburgh-demanding-a-cycle-safe-scotland/" rel="nofollow">https://pedalonparliament.org/press-release-over-a-thousand-people-cycle-through-edinburgh-demanding-a-cycle-safe-scotland/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21948#post-384510 Sat, 30 May 2026 15:54:41 +0000 LaidBack 384510@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Saw people going out and on way back. Massive achievement and kudos to all those that helped and went. Typically our customers arrived over this period so even with Joe and Irene at shop I couldn't sneak off. Nice to see @arellcat @srd and Mr SRD along with many excited families heading to start. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21948#post-384509 Sat, 30 May 2026 15:15:29 +0000 gembo 384509@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good turn out well done young Ben and others. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21948#post-384508 Sat, 30 May 2026 14:32:39 +0000 Frenchy 384508@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That was fun!</p> <p>Thank you, and congratulations, to everyone involved in organising!</p> <p>I enjoyed overhearing someone at the start line say that PoP makes them realise that they're not actually mad. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21948#post-384506 Sat, 30 May 2026 08:50:19 +0000 chdot 384506@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Some details about all previous events</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedal_on_Parliament" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedal_on_Parliament</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21948#post-384504 Fri, 29 May 2026 19:58:01 +0000 chdot 384504@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Pedal on Parliament 30th May 2026</p> <p>For a cycle-safe Scotland</p> <p>“</p> <p>EIGHT Feeder rides you could join</p> <p><a href="https://pedalonparliament.org/feeder-rides-2026/" rel="nofollow">https://pedalonparliament.org/feeder-rides-2026/</a> </p>
