    Can I get a few volunteers to meet up this afternoon - Meadows? 5ish? for an EEN vox-pop on why commuter cycling rates up?

    It's for a *positive* story linking to ATAP review and next week's Transport cttee meeting. Ie nice case where council spend = impact

    Post here/PM me if you can come. Would be good to have nice range of people/destinations if possible.

    I need to detour to the EBC - so I'll try to make it.

    Anywhere in particular?

  3. Dammit, would have done, but heading to a show that starts at 5.55, and the queueing at the Pleasance tends to start around half an hour before shows.

    Time not set firmly yet. Is 5 good for others?

    Shall we meet at west (melville drive) end of NMW? Would show off infra and be easy for EEN to access (they're usually in car).

    I'm on the folder today. one black, one red pannier.

  5. May ride through that way and wave - probably easier/nicer than through the Cowgate...

    @wc - what time would work for you? I think the idea is 3 sep voxpops so could start yrs at (eg) 4.45 and then follow with others?

  7. I'll not be out the door till about 5.10/5.15ish. Just keep an eye out and I can be a filler shot of a cyclist whizzing* by ;)

    *or wheezing....

    Video is good SRD! Clear points made, easily understood and non confrontational to innocent and nice drive-by viewers..

    Thanks Shuggie - still not watched it myself.

    Happy I'm not in the paper version, but not so happy about their layout...

    Good video.

    Generally nice and positive and I counted several bikes going by too.

    Someone did say 'Road Tax' though;-) (!)

    Paper version is obviously sampling colours from the 'fun loving' nice way code... an old advertorial trick.
