Up to a hundred children and adults are to take part in a "cycle to school" event in Edinburgh on Friday.

Sciennes Primary is holding the event to help parents build confidence about cycling with their children.

The peloton will start at 8.20am and will travel up Mayfield Road and Causewayside. Riders will feed in from side streets as it progresses towards Sciennes Primary.

Sciennes parent Phoebe Cochrane said: "We started cycle to school Fridays to help build parents confidence about cycling with their children.

"The school community is planning to join Pedal on Parliament on Saturday 23 April. Cycling in this part of Edinburgh is okay, but we'd like to see a better network across the city."
