I'm still having a lot of discomfort from my fracture before Christmas. My GP thinks I've knocked my symphisis pubis out of alignment and I think she's right, but sitting on a saddle is very uncomfortable. I am managing short rides, but the thought of all those cobbles down the Royal Mile is making me wince. I might just walk to the Parliament and see you all down there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5833#post-64325 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 22:47:46 +0000 sallyhinch 64325@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi all - we're gathering details of any feeder rides as they get organised on <a href="http://pedalonparliament.org/the-route/getting-there/">this page</a> - please let us know if you've got any plans. I saw Harrison Park was mentioned as a possible feeder ride - any more? Particularly for folks coming in by car who might like to park and ride in with native guides rather than try and navigate Edinburgh's seven-dimensional geography with added tram works... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5833#post-64100 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:23:12 +0000 Dave 64100@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>People like that are amongst many things which make me want independence :Z </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5833#post-64094 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:03:58 +0000 kaputnik 64094@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>It's still Workers' Memorial Day!<br /> </em></p> <p>It may well be, but that wasn't causing the Police concern. The Paisleyites, on the other hand are. They are holding an "event" called "Scotland Says <strong>NO!</strong>" (their emphasis), they intend to sign a "covenant" in Parliament square and then march down to Holyrood. There are links to some more unsavoury elements of the Unionist movement from my inspection of their website. This in turn meant that Lothian and Borders took their time in deciding if our proposed route and timing to avoid the above lot was in order. Which it was.

The reason is to avoid tangling with a pro-union march on the same day. There will probably still be folks on the Meadows at 1pm to greet any early birds, but we won't start gathering for the ride proper until 2 and we'll set off around 3pm.</p> <p>We've updated all the posters and they're available as PDFs now <a href="http://pedalonparliament.org/resources/">here</a>. All this is still subject to actual permission but we're hopeful it will go ahead as planned.</p> <p>Please spread the news... </p>
