The target for Edinburgh is that by 2020 15% of all travel should be by bike. </em></p> <p>Just looking at the issues, then. Not necessarily doing much about them!<br /> Targets, schmargets! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5917#post-63248 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:33:01 +0000 Nelly 63248@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>.....and a lot more interest in cycling / sustainable and healthy travel options from the main parties than before. </p> <p>Cant make the meeting tonight, looking forward to a summary if anyone gets there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5917#post-63244 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:17:18 +0000 chdot 63244@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>(There's an election coming)</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghlabour.com/2012/03/cycling-in-capital-lets-improve-it.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghlabour.com/2012/03/cycling-in-capital-lets-improve-it.html?m=1</a> </p>
