Why not run the same classes sans freebies? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1564#post-15057 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 10:57:15 +0000 chdot 15057@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Sorry, I should have been more clear: the classes are only available to people whose employers have signed up to take part in our A better way to work project."</p> <p>I which case you probably shouldn't have 'publicly advertised' here. </p> <p>I had assumed that the large grant you got from the Scottish Government would have meant that such classes would be free - to encourage more employers/cyclists. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1564#post-15056 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 10:48:14 +0000 Wendy 15056@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sorry, I should have been more clear: the classes are only available to people whose employers have signed up to take part in our <a href="http://www.findabetterwaytowork.org/intro.php">A better way to work</a> project. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1564#post-15044 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 19:42:13 +0000 wee folding bike 15044@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>One of the things I'm finding odd about the Pashley is that I don't need to bother doing things to it.</p> <p>It's a bit like when CDs came along and I didn't have to worry about stylus weight, anti skate, turntable strobe, rumble filters and so on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1564#post-15041 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 18:52:12 +0000 kaputnik 15041@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>humm, just finnished a massive clean/lube/tune session</em></p> <p>and did you find time to look at your bike?</p> <p>oh ho ho.</p> <p>I'll get me coat. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1564#post-15039 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 17:15:54 +0000 ruggtomcat 15039@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>humm, just finnished a massive clean/lube/tune session (turns out my rear cassette is silver!?!) and so dont really need to come. if this was posted 2 days ago however... :P </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1564#post-15037 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 16:46:26 +0000 DaveC 15037@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ester Says do bring your bike or you'll be sat doing nothing.

The class fee is £10, and this includes a can of de-greaser and either a set or mudguards or lights.</p> <p>If you are interested in attending a class then please contact Esther Halcrow at <a href="mailto:esther@thebikestation.org.uk">esther@thebikestation.org.uk</a> or 0131 6628970 for more details and to register for a class. </p> <p>Walk-ins are not accepted - you must pre-register with Esther if you wish to attend a class.</p> <p>Wendy@theBikeStation </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=618#post-5018 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:52:46 +0000 Stepdoh 5018@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Think my bike needs more than Dr Bike. Think with all my tinkering and general mucking about it needs the specialist care Mr or Mrs Bike. :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=618#post-5017 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:30:55 +0000 Wendy 5017@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Stepdoh - if you stop by and say hello you can have some cake! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=618#post-5016 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:09:37 +0000 Stepdoh 5016@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The ONE day I'm taking my wife's car to work in the last year and there's free cake for cyclists! Argh! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=618#post-5003 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 10:35:29 +0000 Wendy 5003@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>For anybody who works in or near the Gyle Centre, or for anyone who just happens to be visiting - we at <strong>A better way to work</strong> are holding a free event on Friday 9th April in the carpark of the Gyle Shopping Centre, outside Starbucks, between 10am and 4pm.</p> <p>Come along and let our Dr Bike service your bike for free, and get some journey planning advice and cycle maps.
