Lodged by Patrick Harvie (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Glasgow cycling charities, Women on Wheels and Sunny Cycles, on their successful Ride Bright event; believes that over 100 women and non-binary people rode their bikes together on International Women’s Day to highlight the need for safer and brighter streets; understands that three out of four women change their outdoor activity routines during winter and agrees that women deserve to feel and be safe while cycling; recognises the event’s contribution to raising awareness of safety in public spaces and the importance of accessible and inclusive cycling infrastructure; notes what it believes is the positive impact in encouraging women and non-binary people to embrace cycling as a form of socialising, transport and empowerment, and commends the organisers for their dedication in creating a vibrant, inclusive event that fostered a sense of community and solidarity.
