I have a cheap-o phone with real buttons so I do use it when cycling but I need to take a hand off the bars which slows me down a bit. Not that I phone a lot. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12123#post-141215 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:25:51 +0000 DaveC 141215@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Interesting that its not illegal (appparently) to use a mobile on a bicycle according to the article. Maybe he should buy some studded tyres and then he can phone text and surf on his bicycle to his heart's content?</p> <p>Dobber. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12123#post-141183 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:54:36 +0000 Min 141183@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>“What I did, and I discussed this with the police which I am not challenging at all, was remove my mobile phone from the inside door panel of my car, look at it and put it into a holder where the gear stick is.</p> <p>“But because I had it in my hand, and effectively I was using it, that was the charge.”</em></p> <p>Um yes, having it in your hand and looking at it IS using it! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12123#post-141177 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:44:26 +0000 chdot 141177@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/councillor-cammy-day-caught-on-phone-while-driving-1-3285364" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/councillor-cammy-day-caught-on-phone-while-driving-1-3285364</a></p> <p>"</p> <p>Cammy Day (@cllrcammyday) tweeted at 9:57am - 11 Jan 14: </p> <p>Cycling on frosty mornings not always a good idea #ouch!! pic.twitter.com/YRc8qVTVp0 (<a href="https://twitter.com/cllrcammyday/status/421944027584282624" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/cllrcammyday/status/421944027584282624</a>) </p> <p>" </p>
