Hello All, The survey seeking views on city centre cycling is at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/whybike I urge you to complete it, even if you would never dream of taking to two wheels. And I’d be hugely grateful if you could get others to complete it too. If you use Facebook or twitter, please post this link and/or email your friends. If you want to donate to the cost of the Edinburgh WhyBike? survey please go here www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/FundingWhyBikeSurvey I have set the target to £400, in the hope we can muster over a 1,100 responses. If we do, we can argue we have surveyed more people than Sustrans did, when they created the Bike Life Edinburgh survey, being used by the cycling officers to convince our elected members that a protected cycle track is what the city wants and needs. If you need to help convince others that completing the survey is important, please refer them to these articles about cycle tracks http://dailym.ai/2dPGXsg and www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3824340/Cycle-lane-madness-Britain-Mail-Online-readers-reactions.html We really need to challenge the assumptions that are being made to drive this project. We are in the preparatory stages for the local elections next May and political parties are looking for ideas for their manifestos. Let’s convince them that this cycle track shouldn’t be in any of them. For those who don’t use email, there will be a paper version of the survey available in Roseburn and Haymarket shops, cafes and takeaways Thanks and best wishes Pete Gregson The Roseburn Vision Group
