I admired his Rapha top, single jaunty pannier and well-sorted bike. It was a pleasant surprise to find it was @gembo when I final did manage to build up enough speed to attempt an overtake. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-386038 Sun, 04 Oct 2026 15:53:17 +0000 gembo 386038@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Greenroofer out chasing the Wind.

I can't remember if she posted on CCE. We had a lovely catch up for a few minutes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385814 Fri, 11 Sep 2026 18:04:26 +0000 Frenchy 385814@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I did wonder if that was you, but wasn't sure enough to say hello.</p> <p>I will leave the mystery of the location open just to annoy anyone reading. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385811 Fri, 11 Sep 2026 17:41:13 +0000 wingpig 385811@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Frenchy, in an unspecified city centre location in case it's a secret. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385717 Thu, 03 Sep 2026 07:21:15 +0000 gembo 385717@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think something 8n the air yesterday for sure. Though the driv8ng on the A70 last Saturday was also pretty bad.</p> <p>A croney from the Commute, let’s call her The Bionic Woman (I first clocked her racing buses on the route into town but as with the rest of us she has reverted to the WoL Path) hit a dug for the first time in 26 years. She had slowed and missed the critter on a bend that is overgrown which we will tackle next Monday. However, being of a harem sacrum nature said mutt doubled back behind her and ran at her wheels. Dog was ok as was Bionic.</p> <p>Yes the bridge has become slightly more closed this week as the rangers have tightened the chain between t(e two wee plastic fences. But still no diversion signs (would require man6 signs given the proposed diversion) and still everyone crossing though a bit trickier again (a certain member of this group took a Tern people carrier over the fence recently without even having to stop). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385715 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 22:17:30 +0000 Greenroofer 385715@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh it <strong>was</strong> you! I did wonder, but it was slightly out of context as normally we meet on the towpath. I recall that we met at the confluence of several people, and that I was concentrating on all of them at once so wasn't paying a huge amount of attention to the specifics of the individuals I was navigating around.</p> <p>A few minutes later I also saw @steveo.</p> <p>I was heading back from a trip to Carnwath. When we passed, I'd retreated to the WoL path as I'd by then had half a dozen close passes and crazy overtakes, one of which got a yelp of fear out of me and several of which had caused oncoming drivers to slow down or hoot in exasperation at the idiot coming towards them, half in their lane and half too close to me.</p> <p>The biscuit (or perhaps cookie) was taken by the white Transit driving in the mist with no lights on at all (so basically invisible), that came flying past me, causing the oncoming pickup to hit the brakes, and disappeared into the mist leaving a strong smell of weed in its wake.</p> <p>Oh yes, and I continue to enjoy Schrodinger's Bridge on the WoL path. The Rangers clearly like to leave its 'open' and 'closed' states in superposition, rather than bite the bullet and collapse its wave function into one state or the other... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385713 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:43:29 +0000 gembo 385713@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@greenroofer on WoL Path </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385712 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:24:10 +0000 chdot 385712@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55504757405_91e79d8e20_b.jpg"></p> <p>No idea if this is an art installation or a warning (for drivers) of the imminent road narrowing </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385711 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 18:57:22 +0000 chdot 385711@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55504754525_0d455d2aa8_b.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385555 Sun, 23 Aug 2026 16:36:55 +0000 gembo 385555@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Brompton posse Balerno this morning maybe fifteen of them. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385422 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 19:52:26 +0000 gembo 385422@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have a Dutch friend, Prof Van Tongeren, a big lad, he would judge some of those hills to be unecessary</p> <p>The WoL path is nice I used it with two heavy panniers to return from Porty today.</p> <p>Ignore the idea it has a council closure. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385421 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 19:30:53 +0000 Greenroofer 385421@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@MediumDave walking down the hill from Torduff Reservoir yesterday evening. I was toiling up said hill, concentrating on trying (unsuccessfully) to keep my heart rate down, so didn't notice them until the last minute. </p> <p>My route then took me up the Exponential Hill, down to Flotterstone and back over the Pentlands via Castlelaw and the Ranges road. It turned into a Lovely Ride, but there was quite a bit of climbing... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385419 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 14:43:51 +0000 wingpig 385419@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was it anyone on here taking a photo of the George IV Bridge footway when I went past at about half one? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385418 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 07:30:08 +0000 gembo 385418@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Greetings puddle hunters - Big Steveo up Clubhiedeans </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=847#post-385392 Tue, 11 Aug 2026 09:52:21 +0000 bakky 385392@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have heard back from an enquiry that they remain unfinished due to the festival roadworks embargo, so I guess I’m holding fire until September! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385370 Sun, 09 Aug 2026 18:35:48 +0000 gembo 385370@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@arobcomp taking a big fella down the WoL on the back of his Tern Monsta Bike </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=847#post-385367 Sat, 08 Aug 2026 22:07:20 +0000 chdot 385367@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“It’s just occurred to me maybe they have a delay sourcing their bollards“</p> <p>#ThisIsEdinburgh </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=847#post-385366 Sat, 08 Aug 2026 21:39:32 +0000 bakky 385366@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks both! I agree regarding this junction; personally I will continue to take a lane after passing Summerhall square, and I wonder if they would have done better to omit the segregation on the west side entirely. </p> <p>I’m hoping to film a video about the various changes when the kerbs are filled and the cones are gone. If someone could let me know if spotted that would be great!</p> <p>It’s just occurred to me maybe they have a delay sourcing their bollards - as these would maybe go in pre asphalt? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=847#post-385365 Sat, 08 Aug 2026 21:24:32 +0000 Arellcat 385365@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I cycled through Summerhall this afternoon. Just kerbs, so far. Heading north is a bit hair-raising, quite honestly. The hard-segregated lane feeds you into the ASL box, and if you're going straight on for the Meadows and the light is green, you're at quite high risk of being hit by a left-turning driver.</p> <p>Fortunately my spidey senses caught this and I was able to nip into the adjacent lane before I reached the segregated bit. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=847#post-385362 Sat, 08 Aug 2026 20:16:12 +0000 Morningsider 385362@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was in Summerhall today. The kerbs have yet to be infilled and there are some random cones left. One of the small corner kerbs has been dislodged.</p> <p>Despite the changes it is still quite hairy crossing the main road in front of Summerhall as a pedestrian. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=847#post-385361 Sat, 08 Aug 2026 19:45:59 +0000 bakky 385361@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Southside question; has anyone passed through Sunmerhall in the last week and spotted whether the cones are yet gone and asphalt filling of the cycle lane kerbs completed, or did they use it all converting the George IV bridge cycle lane to a Boaby touching overflow zone (sorrynotsorry) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385353 Fri, 07 Aug 2026 21:16:59 +0000 Greenroofer 385353@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@DaveC stopped to let two pedestrians and me past on the Slateford Aqueduct this morning. Normally when I meet him we're both on Terns, but today it was just me on a Tern. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385327 Wed, 05 Aug 2026 19:36:13 +0000 gembo 385327@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ha, I was holding the gate tonight for a chap at the soon to return Clubbiedeans big puddle , he had come from the Bonaly direction into a block headwind he seemed to hold me responsible for because it was a tailie for me. All humans should approach The CBP from Balerno side if they wish to avoid a block headwind. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385326 Wed, 05 Aug 2026 18:56:36 +0000 Greenroofer 385326@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I hadn't actually experienced the maximum Quickening, due to having turned round at the lane just before the top of the hill because I reckoned that was halfway through the ride in time terms. As ever, the headwind I'd fought up the hill seemed much less impressive as a tailwind. Being just a week into my retirement, I am still getting a little jolt of guilty pleasure each time I go for a ride during 'normal working hours'. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=746&page=489#post-385321 Wed, 05 Aug 2026 13:27:16 +0000 gembo 385321@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@greenroofer about 25 mins after he experienced The Quickening.
