🎶 You say we’ve got the wrong terrain Or you cry that there’s just too much rain But they wanted it and built the lanes And I know that we could be the same @danabrahamsmusic.bsky.social on why safer, healthier, more liveable cities aren't built by chance, they're built by choice: buff.ly/DWz6iWd

Hi SW20ed, I don't seem to be able to message you to discuss this privately, but if you can contact me somehow that would be fine.

Hi SW20ed, do you mean still images before and after? Or just those video segments as standalone? I will check with Jan but I think no problem.

🎦 Do _you_ and your bike 🚲want to be in the music video sequel to OUR STREETS? The sequel is called _Amsterdam_ and it's being shot in #Dalry #Edinburgh today (Friday 19 Sept). 😊 Be at the Dalry Lidl car park in time for 16:45 to join the fun! Our Streets video (3 mins): youtu.be/qhtrIWBuoAg?...

Director/Producer Meray will explain the scene when everyone is assembled. We are also looking for folk who might be able to help with carrying equipment and generally assisting during the day, as well as a few cyclists to be in an earlier scene at Haymarket. Contact me if this is of interest!
