The seventh Pedal on Parliament will be led off by Mark Beaumont, world record breaking cyclist and adventurer. He will front up the cycle event which begins in the Meadows on 28 April 2018 with a cargo bike.
Mark said : “Whilst cycling in the UK is a safe activity, it could be safer. That is why I am joining Pedal on Parliament on the 28th April to ask our politicians to make cycling safe for everyone. The ride from the Meadows to Holyrood might be short, but the effect on cycling in Scotland could be profound.”
The event is staged to make a public declaration that politicians should commit to making Scotland cycle friendly. The cycle begins at Middle Meadow Walk at 12.00noon on 28 April 2018 and then convenes outside Holyrood for speeches.
