🎦 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):

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.

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!

Enough is enough, and the people of Edinburgh came out in agreement on Friday!

Looking down at a wide, black, asphalt road - flanked by trees over the footways, the carriageway space has been subdivided with temporary rosehill cycle lane defenders in black and white down each flank, with a lane of parking marked with dashed white lines next to the two lanes of carriageway for motor vehicles. The weather is overcast.

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
