Cycling UK excluding trans women from their 100 Women in Cycling Award was unnecessary and discriminatory. Went for a solidarity ride with others today

better for the environment.

A strong local economy with a mix of businesses can help to make places feel active and attractive. Access to good quality jobs, volunteering and training can help us to

Overview
This questionnaire is asking about where you live in Edinburgh:
How would you score it?
What you like about it?
What would make it better?
It covers the key things that make a good place to live such as housing, local shops and services, healthcare, open space, play, community space, jobs and public
transport.
You can answer the questions as an individual or as a group.
You donโ€™t have to answer all the questions or provide detailed answers.
It will take 10 minutes to complete
Why do we want to know?
We are starting to think about the plans for how Edinburgh develops and changes in the future.
We know that Edinburgh is not just one place, but it is made up of many different areas. Each area has its good points, bad points and challenges.
We will use the results of this questionnaire to get an understanding of each area and what we need to plan for: what needs to be protected and what might be needed. 
What makes a good place?

A rainbow Pride flag, including the colours representing trans people.

After last week's Supreme Court ruling we want to be clear that we welcome & support all women and girls. Trans & non-binary people are as important to us as biological women & are a valued part of our crew.
We remain welcome to allies from any sex, gender or background.

It looks as though the UN have chosen a different theme for their recognition of the day. Both are admirable and valid, but we're using the IWD theme.
