If anyone else wants some please let me know. </p> <p>The leven street Scotmid had an amazing turnover of bikes on the racks tonight - if anyone passing by could handlebar flyer them occassionally, similarly the racks at the library on George IV and morningside. (There was somewhere else I was thinking of....will add in if I recall). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12080&page=5#post-149421 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 12:45:26 +0000 kaputnik 149421@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Forgot to mention that the Bike Station had a van parked in Maidencraig Crescent earlier yesterday</em></p> <p>Maybe they had run out of bikes?

Don't know if the group of riders chatting in the middle of the NEPN junction there (around 5:45pm) are CCEers.

There may be one from KB aimed at Sciennes parents/children because they ride from there to the school once a month (except the winter ones).
