Legal Firm's Campaign to show friendship and love on the roads building on calls from Sir Chris Hoy to end the 'motorist v cyclist' conflict.

The three key things you need in order to create a successful tandem partnership; trust, teamwork and communication.

The Just Eat Cycles bike hire scheme in Edinburgh is greatly welcomed whilst long overdue. However, better infrastructure and presumed liability are also needed to enable development of a cycling friendly culture.
