The Evening News article did include the video. And of course a grudging paragraph:-
"Previous mass rides have caused controversy as the group has blocked off main roads in the city with hundreds of bicycles, and other people-powered machines in a bid to ‘reclaim’ spaces for cyclists and fight for safer conditions on the roads."
A more positive and very good song and video by Dan Abrahams of Critical Mass. The Reporter is on the side of the angels with its cycling coverage.

People are holding coordinated protests across UK towns and cities this weekend against what they call a “climate of fear” on the roads, and an “epidemic” of careless and dangerous driving that is curbing children’s freedoms and putting lives at risk.

There's currently a consultation about removing motor vehicle through-traffic in Holyrood Park.
We want the park to be truly inclusive with access for all, including those who can’t afford a car. So this months ride will go to Holyrood to show our support for @carfreeholyrood !

This month we'll ride close to the Braid, where councillors recently voted to remove modal filters, just days after the tragic death of a young boy cycling to School in Cramond.
Everyone is welcome on our big, fun, community ride, Saturday March 30th, 2pm at Middle Meadow Walk.
