Save the date: Pedal on Parliament is back on Saturday 30th May 2026, 11:30am from Middle Meadow Walk to Holyrood, Edinburgh, on closed roads.
Pedal on Parliament is a grassroots volunteer-led campaign pushing for better, safer and more inclusive cycling conditions for everyone of all ages and abilities in Scotland. We run a weekend of action aimed at policy makers, asking for better investment, design and policy for sustainable transport.
The Pedal On Parliament manifesto asks politicians to agree to:

- Design cycling for all ages and abilities into Scotland’s roads.
- Implement and enforce safer speeds where people live, work and play.
Join us as we call for a cycle-friendly Scotland. More details will be posted on the Pedal On Parliament website and socials.
