Pedal on Parliament this Saturday

20-Milers meeting for the 2016 PoP

As you probably know, the annual Pedal on Parliament takes place this coming Saturday (22nd April). This is a fun event, in which thousands of cyclists descend on the city centre, and ride from the Meadows to Holyrood on roads closed to motor vehicles.

As usual, a 20-Milers contingent will be taking part. We will meet outside the Bicycle Works in Argyle Place (which is just south of the Meadows, near the southern end of Middle Meadow Walk). We'll gather from 11.00, and aim to join to main crowd on the Meadows at 11.15.

If you miss us at the above meeting point, make your own way to the Meadows, and look out for us there.

The event includes a mass bell-ringing, so if you have a particularly loud bell or a hooter, please bring it. If you can decorate your bike with flags or balloons, so much the better.

I hope you'll be able to make it. If you want to know more about Pedal on Parliament, have a look at the event's website.

20-Milers at Pedal on Parliament

Once again, Edinburgh 20-Milers was well represented at the annual Pedal on Parliament. Around twenty of our members joined the thousands of cyclists who took part in the event. With George IV Bridge and the Royal Mile closed to motor traffic, we had a pleasant mile and half cycle from the Meadows to Holyrood, followed by a rally and speeches in front of the parliament building. With the sun shining at least some of the time, it was another enjoyable and successful event.
