This exhibition has been created by groups in Edinburgh who are campaigning to make our city a safe place for cycling.

You’ll hear about group rides for fun and friendship that also carry a serious message about the importance of safe cycle routes. You’ll learn about the positive environmental impact cycling can have and how it can help both individual and community wellbeing. You’ll find out about activism in Edinburgh and around the world and learn about the rich history of cycling in Scotland’s capital city.

The exhibition has been created in collaboration with Critical Mass, InfraSisters, Spokes and Bike Buses.
