    Following on slightly from SRD's post about leaflets etc. for those of you who prefer a more virtual engagement with the world we're also asking as many people as possible to blog about why they're going to POP2 (assuming you *are* going, of course) so we can get the word out that way as well. It doesn't matter if you've got a bike-related blog or not - in fact it's almost better if you've got a non-bikey blog as that reaches a whole new audience...

    Good point sallyhinch.

    @SRD: I distributed the bike-strip-fliers in 24 hours (without even resorting to doing the ones at the university - which I assume will be done repeatedly over the next few weeks). So I'll need more! Although could probably print some (do you have a pdf or whatever of the bike-fliers?).

    Neuroscience and Informatics (Forum+AT) are (imminently) covered.

    Thanks!

    Were you aware of PoP?

    If not, the fact that you are now might be worth a blog.

    Also if you have noticed any 'change in attitude' about cycling over the past year - esp among colleagues and friends.

    Yes, I was a member of this forum this time last year. I was away that weekend, otherwise I would ahve gone along. Same this year.

    I guess I will blog, I'm just not sure what "angle" to take, as it were!!!

    'Why I would have gone to POP' is as good as 'why I'm going' - all publicity gratefully accepted

    Would you like safer streets for your kids? Are you coming to #POP2? Bring the kids! @CycleSprog writes about.

    Anyone got a convenient photos of hordes of cyclists from last year that I can borrow for the blog? There's loads online, but if someone here can save me the effort of contacting someone about copyright that would be delightful!

    Cheers

    The @guardian Bike Blog has been nominated for a gong by the @london_cycling Campaign awards. Really pleased

    Excellent blog (and pics!) from WWF @EvaGroeneveld making link between #POP2 demands & Gov's weak climate plan #RPP2

    I published a piece on this blog. It's a political blog, not a cycling blog.

    http://shirazsocialist.wordpress.com/2013/05/26/pedal-on-parliament-were-everyone/

    Same piece on my own blog (which is a lot about cycling).
