Pedal on Parliament 4 – as the name suggests – will be the fourth of our mass bike rides on Holyrood – and a fun day out for cyclists and those who’d like to cycle of all ages and all persuasions (if you missed it, here’s what past PoPs were like). Although we’re making a serious point about making cycling safer and easier, the day itself will be light-hearted. The pace will be slow and easy for people to keep up – however little their legs may be. It will be non-confrontational and we will be co-operating fully with the police and the council and all the relevant authorities. We’ve arranged that the roads will be closed during the ride itself. We’ll do our best to make sure that the good folk of Edinburgh can go about their normal Saturday business (although we’d be delighted if they chose to join us instead) so we won’t be blocking roads or holding anyone up any more than we have to to be safe.
The ride will start at 12 noon from the Meadows, with feeder rides coming in from all across Scotland. The route will be the same as the last three PoPs, including the iconic Royal Mile, and ending – as you might expect – at the parliament building at Holyrood.
It's hopefully an urban myth but I heard it was designed that way on purpose, so the cyclepath captured any flooding and the busway would remain clear
I should imagine eating chopsticks anywhere could be potentially rather perilous.
