You know what I'd find useful...a pannier rack which has the rear light completely built in so that it can neither be dislodged nor swiped. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140738 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:11:19 +0000 ARobComp 140738@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>yeah that's what I was thinking! I've sent over the description so we'll see! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140736 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:07:37 +0000 wingpig 140736@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Maybe someone saw it, picked it up, attached it and rode off with it, only for it to fall off again... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140735 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:04:47 +0000 ARobComp 140735@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ahhh I thought this might be my girlfriends! However I can't see why she'd have been over that side of town as she would have been going from roseburn to work in crammond. Will pm description just in case! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140728 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 12:40:38 +0000 I were right about that saddle 140728@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I found quite a nice front light, still flashing, submerged in the Braid Burn near Cameron Toll. It was on the far side, away from the uncycleable path that cuts from Gilmerton Road through the small wood in front of the Scout hall. </p> <p>I'm still totally baffled as to what it was doing there. Maybe some sort of obscure joke? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140722 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 11:32:07 +0000 algo 140722@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@DaveC, bax... just to say that's not mine, but thanks for mentioning it. Nice thing Snowy did advertising that find here - I think you should grab the light you saw if it's still there and do the same! My attitude to a lost light is that someone else now has it - certainly in my case it wasn't there when I went back, and I'd rather that than it got smashed up and littered the roads... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140720 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 11:18:00 +0000 minus six 140720@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>heh !</p> <p>snap, daveC </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140719 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 11:17:27 +0000 minus six 140719@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's a smart-type rear light lying at the edge of the path adjacent to the A90, near the turn up the hill to Dalmeny.</p> <p>Its near the section where all the rainwater collects at the side of the A90 when its pouring down.</p> <p>Its not in a spot where anyone would be kinetically disposed to stop and pick it up, so there's a fair chance it will be still be there on the commute home. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140718 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 11:16:08 +0000 DaveC 140718@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I saw a Revolution rear (not flashing) on the A90 path but I was with a mate and by the time it had registered i couldn't stop to pick it up.</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/products/revolution-vision-watt-rear-led-light?bct=browse%2frevolution-products" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/products/revolution-vision-watt-rear-led-light?bct=browse%2frevolution-products</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140717 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 11:06:43 +0000 algo 140717@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've lost one of the long thin EBC non-usb types recently. Unfortunately I don't think I lost it near there so alas I don't it's mine.</p> <p>And by "lost" I mean I lost them in high speed off the back off the bike due to complete incompetence on my part and an unwillingness to dive into two lanes of angry traffic. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140707 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:29:02 +0000 kaputnik 140707@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've lost 2 Comet Moon lights in recent months, the original and its replacement.</p> <p>By "lost" I mean I'm confident they were swiped off the back of the bike at work in the basement.</p> <p>Swines. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140705 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:15:15 +0000 SRD 140705@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The rear ebc rechargables definitely less good than the fronts. We've lost at least one. And they're too tight for the stem on my folder. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140698 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 08:33:01 +0000 gembo 140698@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Mine was an EBC one you could recharge off your laptop, in red, had it for a long time before trying to use it to keep a light with an even weaker attachment on the bike. That light I still have but me wee red one has gone west.i would say near the pinch point at viewforth. Curiously I saw a similar one in the road a week or two previously and my new one from EBC sale also has poor attachment.</p> <p>Attachment disorder in weans and bike lights - my two worlds have collided!?</p> <p>Curiously, I have retrieved a particularly nice handkerchief I had lent to my daughter who then left it in a restaurant so maybe there is hope for the wee light, as still not quite bright enough yet on the commutes, but won't be too long. Hurrah!! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12097#post-140696 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 01:10:33 +0000 Snowy 140696@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Found Thursday evening: a rear light still flashing in the gutter of Stenhouse Drive, just east of the exit from the Broomhouse path onto the road. PM me with a description/model of light if it's yours :-) </p>
