Just a reminder for anyone who can get to Edinburgh that PoP is this Sunday, 19th May.

Great day last year, hoping to see even more cyclists there this year.

Just a wee lunchtime bump before the weekend. Graeme Obree And Audrey Fyfe's family leading, Chris Boardman And Chris Hoy sending their support.

I'm going. I was surprisingly rather fun last year having so many bikes converge

I see there is a feeder ride from Fife, I might well tag along too.

"Chris Boardman And Chris Hoy sending their support."

What does that mean? That they think it's a good idea but can't/can't be arsed to attend?

In that case, can I send my support? I think it's a great idea.

You can read The Chris's responses here :

Great to have your support quartz. If you can't attend, you can write to your MSP, if you are in Scotland, or alternatively, raise the same issues with your MP.

Unfortunately I can’t attend Pedal on Parliament 2, however, I thoroughly support the aims and objectives of Pedal on Parliament and I urge as many cyclists and non-cyclists alike to attend.

Is that ok?

If it wasn't exam time I would rock up. Just to increase the amount of people without high vis, helemets etc.

No requirement for a helmet or hi-viz (check out the photos from last year on the PoP site )
In fact, the organisers are pointing out that you don't even need a bike!

Still what most people seem to be wearing though (not that it is wrong that they should wear helmets/high vis/spine boards/whatever)

I am just in favour of presenting the idea you can get from A to B on a bike without having to wear anything fancy.
