SPOKES Leaflets

SPOKES has produced quarterly 8 page A5 leaflets for many years. This have always been packed with information and provided encouragement for cyclists in and around Edinburgh to help with various campaigns by writing letters to councils, councillors M.P.s etc. The effectiveness of SPOKES, while owing much to a hard core of active members, is due to its persistence and also the letter writing and lobbying of "ordinary" cyclists, not just members, kept informed by the regular newsletters.
