.....and a lot more interest in cycling / sustainable and healthy travel options from the main parties than before.
Cant make the meeting tonight, looking forward to a summary if anyone gets there.

I see they've illustrated the current problems with poor surfaces to cycle on quite well:
On the policy front however, well meaning but not particularly ambitious:
I lead for Edinburgh Labour on transport matters and I believe the City needs to look at issues like increasing the separation between bikes and motor traffic in busy streets, the safe storage of bikes, a possible cycle hire scheme, 20mph speed restrictions in residential areas and school cycle training so that cycling and walking become a natural and healthy way of getting around Edinburgh. The target for Edinburgh is that by 2020 15% of all travel should be by bike.
Just looking at the issues, then. Not necessarily doing much about them!
