Another good one today despite not great weather, a completely unannounced set of roadworks with signals appearing and the priority being changed against us on the one I knew about. Thanks as always to @roibeard and to @colin for turning up and helping out. Claire Miller came on this one and tweeted some good stuff

Motion from Cllr Claire Miller for the next Transport Committee:
Motion by Councillor Miller - Bike buses
Committee:1. Thanks parents and other volunteers for creating and regularly organising “bike buses” for pupils to travel to school together safely, and commends the approach which is helping young people of all ages and abilities to cycle to school
2. Recognises the significant volunteer time and effort required to organise one bike bus per month, both on the day and in preparation, and thanks volunteers at Sciennes Primary School and Blackford Safe Routes for their work to create a guide to setting up and running a bike bus which enables more schools to offer a bike bus1
3. Notes the significant challenges still remaining, for example offering more frequent bike buses, increasing the number of routes to schools and the number of schools offering a bike bus
4. Agrees to consult with bike bus volunteers and pupils on challenges they have identified and to bring back an update to Committee in two cycles on actions to support and enable bike buses to school

Cracking stuff. Very well done too @algo and his fellow ambassadors.
When's the next one?
Posted 4 years ago # -
Fantastic stuff.
Great to have backing from the council and some clear messages given to Councillors about the demand for cycling from upcoming voters (& their parents).

Friday 6th March - hope to see you there @Frenchy - I should have acknowledged all the help I get from you and IWRATS and Roibeard and BikeTrain and others and explicitly this forum but forgot I'm afraid (I was quite concerned with not allowing my neighbour to break the expensive looking microphones). Claire Miller did make the point that we had adult volunteers who don't have kids at the school themselves.
