And last but not least, motion to the Scottish Parliament from MSP and GoBike member, Patrick Harvie (and supported by other MSPs) : http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/parliamentarybusiness/28877.aspx?SearchType=Advance&ReferenceNumbers=S4M-12588&ResultsPerPage=10.
Let’s keep up the pressure – more letters to the press from all our members and supporters, please!

REPLY TO THE E-MAIL! This confirms your signature and adds you to the list of signatories.
Please ask your friends, family and colleagues to sign as well. If we can get the go-ahead for 20mph in Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, it should be relatively easy to get this progressive measure approved in other parts of the Strathclyde area that GoBike covers.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SIGNED (or think you have), PLEASE CHECK THAT YOUR NAME IS SHOWN; there have been one or two glitches.
