Pedal On Parliament

If you think you could be part of this thing, in whatever way you're able, then join us on the 9th to get involved pedalonparliament.org/savethedatepop…

Hello! Sorry we've been quiet these past few months. Running a POP is always full on, and it's hard to keep the momentum going day after day, month after month, and year after year ...

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via @StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…

Who's excited for Saturday!? Just a wee reminder that everyone is welcome, and encouraged, to help out with stewarding, if they feel comfortable - blocking junctions as the mass goes past, explaining to pedestrians what we are doing, and generally looking out for everyone!

Can we get this bike back?

Save the date! Join us on 9th November to plan where POP goes next and get involved pedalonparliament.org/savethedatepop… 📷Iona Shepherd
