Did anyone else Pedal on Parliament today?

I joined a feeder ride over from Fife, there were about fifty of us. I went last year too and I think there were a few hundred metres of riders this year queuing around the Meadows for the off.

It was a joy to see so many kids riding, and indeed parents with children on child seats. We found ourselves among a group of recumbents coasting down the Royal Mile.

Top day, somehow we managed to dodge the rain too which was a bonus.

I’m seldom on the toon, so I was surprised to see the trams running.

Any other STWers there?

Didn’t go but I bet it gave the bike counter on middle meadow walk a good boost!

I was there with Mrs Kenny. Brilliant seeing so many bike riders of all types, and a truly eclectic selection of bikes on display too. Hopefully some good will come of it. Loads of kids there and it would be lovely to think they will inherit a country where cycling is viewed as normal.

Would like to have but was off digging, I’ll make it some day!

I was there. 1 year old in bike seat, 3 year old in trailer at the back. Wife coasting along on her roadie. Quite a sight to behold all those thousands of bikes. And an awesome feeling flying down the Royal Mile without taxis or buses to worry about. Great Day out.

Was chilling out doing touristy stuff..I wondered what all the bikes where and then played spot the stereotypical stw forumite 😀

I did. Probably biggest turn out yet. Glad they reverted to properly closing the road rather than the staggered groups of last year. What a joy to pootle down the Royal Mile unhindered, would be bliss if urban cycling was always like that [/hippy]
