Anyone getting a free breakfast next week?

All I've seen planned so far at our place are "a test of
your cycling skills" (hopefully this means seeing who can
wheelie the length of the car park and ride over the chief
exec's car) and lunchtime rides of 30 minutes' duration,
which will just about get you out of said car park and
back again. Oh well.

I'm helping out with Camden's breakfast in Ossulton Street
on Tuesday...

Yes, but it's got nothing to do with any so-called "bike to
work" nonse ;-)

More than we have. The Evil Squirrels probably don't know
what a "Bike" is, but seeing as there's only one regular
cycle commuter in the entire Nut Mine, this is hardly
surprising.

According to the posters displayed around Edinburgh:

"Free bike breakfast for you from City of Edinburgh Council

"Free Spokes map for first 20 cyclists to arrive

"Competitions... prizes

"Stalls... leaflets, maps

"Speaker:Cllr Burns (CEC Head of Transport)

"MSPs cycle ride to Holyrood 10am

"Wed 16 June 8-10am

"Edinburgh City Chambers Quadrangle"

The event has attracted at a guess 100-200 people in
previous years.

MSPs cycle ride to Holyrood 10am

Where from? The Mound? Barring the little jaunt up to the
lights on the Royal Mile, they'll barely need to pedal,
although it does get a little flat near the Council
Chambers. By the way, is the bloody place anywhere near
finished yet or will they be cycling to a building site?

BeHIT will be celebrating BikeWeek by trying to scare people
off their bikes, as ever. They have persuaded the Beeb to
allow them space to redress the "imbalance" of Roger
Geffen's interview after the Martlew "debate".

I assume that they will cycle from City Chambers to the new
palace at Holyrood. Apart from starting off they will not
need to pedal at all.

However, while everyone makes fun of the MSPs I suspect that
many of those making the trip will be fairly regular
cyclists anyway. A number do cycle for more than just
publicity photographs. This tends to be those outwith the
main political parties, but there are others in the big
three parties and the Tories as well. The second picture on
news.bbc.co.uk1547663.stmOpen ↗ shows the
Transport Minister at the time.

It is being fitted out.

Will the BBC allow space to redress the imbalance of the
BBCi reporting of matters helmetous?

Our local VIPs in Peterborough are apparently having a cycle
around looking at the cycleways and to promote cycles as a
form of commuting (talking of which they aren't really doing
a good job as I only know about the bikeweek events
including this one by already knowing about bikeweek and
doing a search on the bikeweek site). Apparently they say
that participation is by invite only. Which seems strange as
they will be cycling on public roads and cycleways. What
would they do if 20 or 30 people just happened to want to
cycle the same route?

Scottish Executive officials are planning to ride round our
four main sites on BtW morning.

Perhaps they want to eat all the breakfasts themselves.

Have you read any of the BBCi articles on helmets?

OK, you're right - imbalance implies that the balanced view
is at least alluded to. Utter one-sidedness, then.
