You probably know about the brilliant Spokes cycle maps of Edinburgh and the Lothians, and here’s an opportunity to get them very cheaply (>25% off RRP).
The Spokes Edinburgh Cycle Map (RRP £6.95) is the essential guide to cycling in Edinburgh – over 100,000 of these fantastic maps have been sold since the first edition in 1987! Roads and paths are marked according to suitability for cycling, and the latest 2016 edition includes recent new and planned routes. Smaller scale maps on the reverse help plan journeys further afield. The three Lothians maps (RRP £5.95) are also an excellent design, with whole-area mapping at 1:30,000, distances between junctions, and a much-appreciated and easy-to-understand gradient system. The reverse sides have street plans of many of the towns and information about places of interest for visitors.
If you order at least 10 maps in one go, the Edinburgh map is only £5 and the East Lothian, West Lothian or Midlothian maps are only £4. Even better, if you order at least 20 maps in one go, not only will you get these hugely discounted prices, but also you’ll get a free unfolded version of the Edinburgh map which is perfect for putting on a noticeboard or using at stands or roadshows (while stocks last).
Experience shows that these maps are incredibly popular: RBS at Gogarburn sold 70 at these prices. If you're involved with a Bicycle User Group at your work, this is a great way to club together and get a discount. Maybe your employer would buy some to give to staff?
To place your order, send an email to maps@spokes.org.uk with your contact details for delivery, a list of how many of each map you want and a note that you’re claiming the ‘Edinburgh Active Travel discount’ with its free map offer. Spokes will send you an invoice, and will deliver the maps once they receive your payment. Stocks of the free unfolded map are limited, so don’t delay!
If you think your employer would be interested in a direct approach from Spokes about this bulk order discount, PM me and I'll arrange it.
