## Resource

Over a thousand cyclists flooded Scotland’s streets for the 14th Pedal on Parliament ride, demanding safer roads and real funding for cycling — a cause they’ve championed since 2012. Despite government claims, cycling budgets remain slashed, with only 6% allocated this year — far short of the 10% promised by 2024. The ride ended outside Holyrood, where politicians listened as Emma Burke Newman’s mother called for Vision Zero, urging an end to preventable deaths. MSPs shared personal stories — from Dutch MSPs longing for child-friendly cycling culture to others praising cycling’s health and community benefits — as riders voiced frustration and hope for real change.
