There's plenty of 2 and 4 letter ones around.</p> <p>Does HW allow the option to add a back button to their surveys? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-157699 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 12:10:09 +0000 SRD 157699@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In time-honoured CCE tradition, I am unable to complete a survey without offering some 'feedback': </p> <p>I've always been advised by survey design/quants experts to put the personal details q's at the end. </p> <p>I believe there's evidence that it puts people off answering, whereas if they've answered all the meaty q's then hit the personal ones, they tend to plough on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-157695 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 11:58:32 +0000 Kim 157695@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Please give <a href="http://www.edfoc.org.uk/please-give-us-feedback-on-the-festival-of-cycling/">feedback on the Festival of Cycling</a>, if you would like to run again. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-157648 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 13:57:52 +0000 LaidBack 157648@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><strong>PART ONE<br /> </strong></p> <p>Thanks to Scoosh for patiently leading us safely out on the 'Full Value" Night Ride to Dunbar and back.</p> <p>The section near Traprain Law in the almost total dark was a highlight of the year - particularly as we were doing this narrow and twisty single track on the reclined Nazca tandem. </p> <p>Dunbar seemed to come up a lot quicker than I expected but Scoosh's time estimates were spot on. Richard, my co-pilot, explained that due to lack of visual indicators in the dark you do suffer a lapse in time. (This of course is meat and drink to Audaxers and our ride would be barely two stages - never mind!)<br /> Some people on other rides opted to go down to harbour but most of our group were happy to head into the community hall.</p> <p>What a great welcome and effort Cycling Dunbar had put on! Tea, coffee a choice of spicy and non-spicy veggie hot snack in a bowl with the most delicious home made bread. Most cyclists heaped both in and liked what they had Much of it locally sourced. </p> <p>Please consider a donation to the charity they support.</p> <p><strong>PART TWO</strong></p> <p>Thanks to EdFoC for organising. Special thanks to Scoosh, Andy? and other leaders. Thanks to Tracy Griffen for use of her shop.

The film was interesting but a bit of a polemic and I thought it was a bit long.</p> <p>I suggested the Marco Pantani thing to Boyfriend but he's busy that evening. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-157212 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 13:06:47 +0000 DaveC 157212@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So what is everyone doing during the festival then? I went on a lovely ride with Glaggy Cog, Laidback, Rabid Hamster? a.n.other bent trike rider, 2 germans and a couple of other plesant ladies lastnight. Many thanks for Laidback in badgering/arm twisting Claggy Cog to lead the ride. I was hoping for a running comentry, and started to do one of my own for the people not familiar with the Forth, when time allowed. We covered ~33km and ended back at Laidback where we stored bikes and went off to the Argyle for some food and drink.</p> <p>What next? Who is doing what? It was good to meet some new and old CCEers I've not/previously met before.</p> <p>:D </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-156965 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 11:04:04 +0000 SRD 156965@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd love to offer to buy one of these tickets but having been out several evenings this week, I owe MrSRD his evening cycle :( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-156964 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:52:52 +0000 fimm 156964@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I also have a spare ticket, due to buying several for a group of friends to come. The EventBrite site is a right PITA and makes you buy each ticket individually, and I ended up getting one more than I needed.</p> <p>Sorry organisers, I know you had good reasons to use EventBrite, but I'd recommend you don't use them again! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-156963 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:48:29 +0000 paolobr 156963@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I now have a spare ticket for the film 'Half the Road' this evening, if anyone would be interested in acquiring it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-154864 Tue, 27 May 2014 13:11:52 +0000 fimm 154864@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I need to sort myself out and book for Half The Road and the Women's Cycling Forum. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-154862 Tue, 27 May 2014 13:03:57 +0000 paolobr 154862@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Kim, nice to meet you last night. My daughter and I were the ones sitting in front of you, we had a brief chat about the film Half the Road. We're attending, my daughter contributed in a small way to the funding, I think she'd be delighted if you can get Kathryn Bertine over! Just booked for Carlton Reid, the Pantani reading looks interesting... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-154849 Tue, 27 May 2014 12:03:50 +0000 SRD 154849@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I thought I'd just missed Carlton's talk when I first looked at the programme and rushed to get a ticket, assuming it was on the verge of selling out. Turns out I got the first one :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-154848 Tue, 27 May 2014 11:57:22 +0000 Kim 154848@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh I was clearly on a mission last night, to get the word out as widely as possible, please note there are more events on <a href="http://www.edfoc.org.uk/calendar-of-events/">the website</a> than in the printed programme, including the <a href="http://www.edfoc.org.uk/events/event/how-roads-were-not-built-for-cars/">talk by Calton Reid</a> which was only finalised yesterday... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-154790 Mon, 26 May 2014 23:09:45 +0000 Cyclingmollie 154790@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was handed one by Kim after the event at the Lyceum. If you read this I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself but you looked like a man with a mission. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-154747 Mon, 26 May 2014 19:53:56 +0000 Scoosh 154747@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have a pile of EdFoC 2014 brochures to be distributed tomorrow - as soon as these showers/ downpours go away ! :0</p> <p>It looks a good and bigger programme this year. I'm doing the LaidBack Sunday and the Night Ride again - though the latter is quite a lot further ... and one film I really wanted to see is on a night I have a cannot-miss meeting :( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12096#post-140680 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 20:19:50 +0000 Try Cycle 140680@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Any plans for EdFoC this year? </p> <p>I enjoyed the events last year. With TdF and Giro in the UK this year and a film about armstrong due out soon, cycling should have a high profile this year. </p>
