But then, I didn't really fill it out after the first 15 journeys. It really needs to be integrated with Strava/Garmin Connect to get filled out automatically for me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-187341 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 22:02:28 +0000 HankChief 187341@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Did anyone change their cycling habits? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-187337 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 21:32:11 +0000 Greenroofer 187337@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So do we know anyone who <em>didn't</em> win something? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-187336 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 21:15:06 +0000 Mandopicker101 187336@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Surprisingly, because I never win anything ever, I received a £100 voucher for Evans Cycles. Three quarters of said voucher have duly been cashed in for a selection of bike bits and appropriate tools to fit them.</p> <p>Mrs Mandopicker was a little disappointed it wasn't the £100 Decathlon voucher as she had her eye on some camping gear and had decided I ought to buy some new binoculars. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-187331 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 19:25:37 +0000 Greenroofer 187331@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got a Mac in a Sac too. Perfectly acceptable windproof jacket which packs down small, but not something I'd have bought myself.</p> <p>I've decided to keep it in my desk at work. At the moment, all my outdoor clothes are in the bike changing room in the basement, so if there's a fire evacuation I inevitably end up outside in my shirtsleeves. This jacket will be useful to have to hand to keep me warm in those situations. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-187330 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 19:22:22 +0000 HankChief 187330@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got a picnic hamper. Which is handy as it can keep the 2 we got as wedding presents (&amp; not used) company in the cupboard...</p> <p>... on the plus side we have a wedding in the summer so the newlyweds will be getting a great present.</p> <p>This may be ungrateful of me but I'd rather have had a dropped kerb put in the place of my choosing instead. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-187320 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 17:43:26 +0000 paddyirish 187320@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got a £20 Evans voucher, nice little surprise... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-187319 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 17:17:09 +0000 jdanielp 187319@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I won a "Mac in a Sac" which I thought would be pretty decent having seen products on their website, but what arrived was merely a lilac RSP (Raleigh) Racer Jacket, although I haven't tried it yet so maybe it'll be ok.</p> <p>Fellow colleagues won £20 and £100 Decathlon vouchers, respectively, but those turned into Evans vouchers... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-187316 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 16:55:12 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 187316@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I won a set of lights :-)</p> <p>I have not yet plucked up the courage to inform Mrs Bikeability that I will need to buy a new bike so I have somewhere to put them </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-187294 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 14:39:56 +0000 Arellcat 187294@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Though I might come back to this thread. Even though I forgot about the extension into March, I actually won a thing. All I need now are three people to help me use it and a day of uninterrupted sunshine. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-182024 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 00:44:45 +0000 jdanielp 182024@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Greenroofer yes, that is me wearing the Helmet of Justice from Knightmare. In fact I missed a couple of day's commuting this month due to illness, but made up for that with jaunts on my Bike to Work 'commuter' MTB, and by trying a colleague's Brompton and a Heriot-Watt bike pool electric bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-182017 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 23:52:11 +0000 Arellcat 182017@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've now updated my journeys for the past week, which puts me just outside the top 20. Not bad going considering that there's only one truly leisure ride in there; all my other rides have been commuting or utility rides while on days off.</p> <p>I recognise two or three names from my work, and that's about it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-182013 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 23:17:34 +0000 Mandopicker101 182013@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And there's me down in 32nd. No idea who that bloke in the black jacket standing next to me is though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-181991 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 21:17:55 +0000 Greenroofer 181991@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've just updated it with the last of the rides I expect to do in February. I am now currently 14 behind a character in a metal mask who I take to be <strong>jdanielp</strong>, who's managed two more rides than me. We do pretty much the same route every day, but he seems to have managed a couple of extra days!</p> <p>I think I've spotted several other CCE people on the leaderboard. I know <strong>Hankchief</strong> is on it, but I'm glad he's not registered any trips yet, otherwise I'd be at 15 on the leaderboard, not 14... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-178237 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 17:50:01 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 178237@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Cycling Scotland website clearly has a rude words filter.</p> <p>One of my team mates is listed as David **** </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-178202 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 14:16:19 +0000 jdanielp 178202@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I just filled in my trips for 2015 so far and am now 2nd! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-178196 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 13:29:07 +0000 jdanielp 178196@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks, I will investigate. I'm still updating the Love to Ride Scotland "Land's End to John O'Groats" challenge from a few years ago - so far I have cycled 6,970 of the ~1080 mile goal, which means that I have to scroll quite a long way out into the sea/void to find my bike avatar. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14242#post-178193 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 12:43:21 +0000 Wendy 178193@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cycling Scotland have launched a new Workplace Cycle Challenge - running through January and February.
