Cyclists will descend on the Labour Party conference in Perth this weekend to highlight barriers to active travel in Scotland.
The campaigners will challenge conference-goers to experience for themselves the conditions for cycling and walking in the city.
We Walk, We Cycle, We Vote is asking Scottish politicians of all parties to sign up to three pledges on investment in active travel, better infrastructure and safer roads.
Organiser Suzanne Forup said: “Having more people cycling and walking more often especially for everyday short journeys will help solve so many of the problems Scots face today, from inequality and poor health to pollution and congestion, benefiting everyone.
“There is remarkable consensus about what it will take to make this happen.
“Sustained investment in the sort of infrastructure that makes walking and cycling the obvious choice for everyone, not just the fit and the brave, and safer conditions on our streets and roads.
“And yet there doesn’t seem to be the political consensus to achieve this.
“The next Holyrood elections offer us the chance to make Scotland a healthier, wealthier and happier country.
“We want to encourage all parties to seize that opportunity.”
Ride organiser Sally Hinchcliffe said: “Politicians are generally very keen to encourage people to cycle or walk more but they don’t always understand the very real barriers that discourage them.
“We hope that by getting them out on two wheels they will experience some of the issues for themselves.”
Perth and Kinross Cycle Campaign, known as ByCycle, have also backed the ride.
ByCycle secretary Katharine Melville said: “ByCycle is not directly involved with the ride, but is encouraging members and other local riders to take part.
“ByCycle is very keen that cycling and walking routes through the city of Perth should be cohesively planned and consistently signed.”
Riders will gather outside the Labour Party Conference at the Perth Concert Hall at around 1pm on Saturday, with the ride departing shortly afterwards.
Everyone is welcome to take part in the conferences bike ride. More information on the event can be found at www.walkcyclevote.scot.
