Any families that come and join us should be able to get a good photo of themselves too. Please come along, invite others – with our without Mums. We’ll be back at Bangholm by 12ish so you can still do Mother’s Day activities : )<br /> Please drop me an email on <a href="mailto:suzanne.forup@cyclinguk.org">suzanne.forup@cyclinguk.org</a> if you plan to come </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16199#post-215040 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 13:08:02 +0000 cmcoakley 215040@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi,<br /> I'm interested in buying a cargo bike as I have a 8 month old daughter and as she gets older I would like cycling to be our main mode of transport (as it is for me at the moment). Cargo bikes are a huge investment therefore I want to make sure I'm getting the right one for me. I have tried out an Urban Arrow and will be trying out a Nihola soon. Does anyone have any other cargo bikes in Edinburgh that wouldn't mind me having a go on them? I'm keen to try a bakfiets cargo bike short.<br /> Also if anyone has a cargo bike and kids and have any tips for me that would be great too!<br /> My daughter and I will hopefully be going to POP so maybe we can chat to some cargo bike users there!<br /> Thanks </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3055#post-32279 Fri, 27 May 2011 14:26:17 +0000 Wendy 32279@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Come join in the fun at the Bike Station’s Innertube Map Postcode Challenge on Sunday 12th June. </p> <p>The Bike Station in conjunction with The People’s Postcode Lottery is running the kids and adult-friendly event, which is a bit like a Treasure Hunt on wheels. </p> <p>The challenge is to find 10 cards which can be found at different postcodes along the North Edinburgh traffic-free cycling pathways (postcodes to follow).
