Massive thanks to everyone who volunteered their time yesterday for shooting 'Amsterdam'. Can't wait to get editing...
Thanks to @spokes.org.uk for funding this, adnd to @banzaiedinburgh.bsky.social and @weespokehub.bsky.social for the cargo bike and vintage Raleigh!
A person with a bike, holding a sign that reads "Bikes are the answer". The person is standing beside a busy city street. The background shows old buildings (1890s), and an improbably blue sky.
🎦 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!

Finally - I’m looking for a Dutch style bike with a pannier rack - if anyone can lend me one (Thursday night to Saturday morning) please let me know!
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!
THIS Friday (19th September) we need lots of cyclists for the final scene of 'Amsterdam'. Everybody is welcome, whatever kind of bike you ride. Just wear bright clothes without logos or text.
5pm at Lidl car park in Dalry. Please be on time, or early - we won’t be able to wait if people are late!
Three people hurt.
One week.
Enough is enough, and the people of Edinburgh came out in agreement on Friday!

Fantastic addition to, and linkage for, #Edinburgh's growing 🚲 culture
Here's a wee clip from the end of 'Our Streets', a song/video about reclaiming space for cycling.
I'm curently fundraising for the next song/video (which I also need people to participate in!). It's called Amsterdam and is a bopper.

Hello!
After the success of ‘Our Streets’ and ‘Big Car’, I’m raising money to make an epic video for my new song ‘Amsterdam’ which celebrates cycling and cities which prioritise it. I’ll be looking for lots of cyclists to be in the video in July.

Best,
Dan
