I don't recall saying that it had any <em>point</em>, and I'm not convinced that I'd like to spend £149 of my own money on one, but, like you, if I come across someone who's got one (regardless of their age) <strong>definitely</strong> I'd like a go on it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11455&page=2#post-135088 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 18:32:10 +0000 Uberuce 135088@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've read the link and watched the video, but I still look a bit confused by the mini-BMX. That said, if you do get one for Jinglemas, I entirely beg for a shot. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11455&page=2#post-135046 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 13:25:36 +0000 kaputnik 135046@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So many peoples, and I was late and had to leave early, so my apologies for sneaking in, scoffing 2 buns and then running off. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11455&page=2#post-135042 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 13:06:42 +0000 SRD 135042@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@greenroofer much better than most such lists. I really like those leather gloves. I know someone with the helmet. we use a plastic filter cone, ceramic seems a tad nicer....(but doesn't appear to be available in UK?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11455&page=2#post-135041 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 13:01:12 +0000 algo 135041@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Great to see so many folk and to meet fimm, smudge, greenroofer, edd1e_h, daisydaisy and chdot for the first time, and chat briefly to WC , Kaputnik and Dave - sorry I didn't managed to say hello Roibeard, laidback, uberuce et al properly down the other end of the table. Very nice way to start the day... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11455&page=2#post-135040 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 12:56:40 +0000 Greenroofer 135040@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In a discussion with Uberuce et al I referred to a list of Christmas gifts for cyclists which I thought someone on here had linked to. I don't think they had, which is why Uberuce was looking a bit confused.</p> <p>Here's the list<br /> <a href="http://road.cc/content/feature/99540-christmas-gifts-cyclists-2013-urbane-gifts-urban-cyclists">http://road.cc/content/feature/99540-christmas-gifts-cyclists-2013-urbane-gifts-urban-cyclists</a></p> <p>I'm quite taken with the reflective shirt and the bike with tiny wheels. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11455&page=2#post-135038 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 12:45:21 +0000 ARobComp 135038@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was unfortunately wrapped in my duvet catching an extra hour of Z's as I've got to head to London with the SO this weekend for a weekend of activities (because spending 2 days a week down there isn't enough seemingly - I pay to go there in my own time now as well ;) ) </p> <p>SOrry to have miswsed you -= some nice bike pron there too! Sorry to have missed the Flying Sloth. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11455&page=2#post-135037 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 12:38:49 +0000 DaveC 135037@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Couldn't make it this morning.

Everyone else I think I at least managed to say hello to, except kaputnik, who managed to sneak in unseen by me (despite sitting directly across) and was gone again before I knew it.</p> <p>I also declare the big green cake (the name of which also eludes me) to be fab. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11455&page=2#post-135022 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 10:14:11 +0000 fimm 135022@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Massive turnout!! I'd already removed my Brompton before chdot took his photos. Nice to see all you gentlemen :) and nice to meet EddieD, Greenroofer and Algo (and somebody else new I think...)</p> <p>I made my train, which I thought I'd missed. One day I will work out which is the last possible train to get in order to make my 9:30 meeting... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11455&page=2#post-135021 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 09:52:23 +0000 chdot 135021@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/sets/72157638170912563/with/11113653975" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/sets/72157638170912563/with/11113653975</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11455&page=2#post-135019 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 09:45:12 +0000 amir 135019@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sorry - couldn't make it. I had a frustrating first ride on my new set up as the new light's batteries failed before I'd even started. Managed to get in just with some other half charged rechargeables. Hope I can get it working properly.</p> <p>I was looking forward to showing off the new steed + light. Oh well ... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11455&page=2#post-135018 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 09:17:05 +0000 MeepMeep 135018@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Gargh, sucked into a conference call at 07:30 that is still going on with actions flying out left right and centre.
