Maggie Wynn

Is someone who rides a bike – for transport, fun, health and life enhancement. Not sure if that makes her a ‘cyclist’ – though she did complete the 2007 Pedal for Scotland ride in atrocious weather!

Has impressive ability to take an idea – hers or someone else’s – and make it happen, including:

Davidson’s Mains Family Cycle Days, BikeFests (in The Meadows), four Bicycle Film Festivals in Edinburgh, many stalls and rides for TryCycling in Edinburgh, Commuter Challenges, Schools competitions, tyre pressure events (some in connection with Edinburgh’s contribution to European Mobility Week) and most recently Bicycle Fun Days, etc.

Passionate about getting ‘more people cycling, more often’ – sees encouraging children (and families) as vital to this. Happy to prove people who say ‘that won’t work’ wrong.
