I suspect that not many non-cyclists will be aware of it, however, so I may bring up that point at the focus group. Thanks! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12158#post-141765 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:33:22 +0000 chdot 141765@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"separate sessions for men and women"</p> <p>Hope there are sessions for 'would like to cycle' too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12158#post-141764 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 15:10:59 +0000 jdanielp 141764@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@algo no problem! Just don't let Heriot-Watt's Principal Steve catch you failing to acknowledge his institution.</p> <p>Interestingly, the cycle focus groups that will be taking place at Heriot-Watt are split into separate sessions for men and women. Not entirely sure why... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12158#post-141760 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:45:45 +0000 algo 141760@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>oh right thanks for that EddieD (nice to bump into you earlier) - I wasn't suggesting anything underhand, just evidently being naive... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12158#post-141759 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:42:41 +0000 EddieD 141759@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Last year they wrote down everyone's name and number on a list, so that we couldn't go round all the roadshows and get several...</p> <p>And they do read here... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12158#post-141747 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:09:14 +0000 algo 141747@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>apologies jdanielp - that was remiss (especially as I worked for years at HW) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12158#post-141746 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:05:49 +0000 jdanielp 141746@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh, that Uni ;-)</p> <p>Meanwhile, at another uni, I have successfully signed up to be a member of a cycle focus group on Tuesday evening next week, at which I will apparently be given £20 and provided with refreshments. Oh, and hopefully I may be able to contribute some valid points towards improving the provision of cycling facilities at Heriot-Watt Uni! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12158#post-141736 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 13:18:29 +0000 algo 141736@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Stickman - I'll see if I can get another one somehow and let you know... </p> <p>edit - assuming you don't have staff/student card! If you do then ignore that, but the offer extends if anyone else wants a lock. I believe the lock in question is a "Masterlock" D-lock type. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12158#post-141727 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:42:55 +0000 EddieD 141727@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aye, you need to have your blue card </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12158#post-141724 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:25:58 +0000 Stickman 141724@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Do you need to be a student/staff for this?
