- Edinburgh City Bike Hire – Just Eat bikes – is making bike transport available to residents who don’t have a bike, or whose bike is at home, and to visitors
- E-bikes are making serious bike transport available to a whole new range of people, particularly middle aged and over
- New infrastructure is on the way (e.g Leith Walk, West-East route) to make using a bike feel safer and be safer
- There is genuine hope (though far from certainty!) of a City Centre Transformation which will drastically reduce the dominance of motor traffic.
Spokes Bulletin 132 is on its way to Spokes members, to 1200 decision-makers across Scotland* and to another 10,000+ interested people through bike shops, libraries and so on throughout Edinburgh, Lothian and beyond.

HOW YOU CAN HELP SPOKES
- Having more members helps us – and we hope to help you in return by keeping you in touch with what’s happening and what you can do about it! You’ll get a roughly-monthly email in addition to the thrice-yearly Bulletin.
- We have spares of the new Bulletin for bike leafleting at workplaces, shops etc – let us know if you could use a supply. Many Spokes members take a regular supply of each issue for their local workplace, shops or other useful destinations.
