Even so, I was still tempted by the various calls to "join us" as I cycled by the group on NMW (the fact that Vangelis was emitting from the hifi system and that somebody admired my bike also helped), and I went as far as asking two questions as I passed:</p> <p>Q. Where are you going? A: Wherever we want!</p> <p>Q. How long will you be out for? A: As long as we want!</p> <p>(I should have pre-empted the second answer perhaps...) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13472#post-166377 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:08:14 +0000 gembo 166377@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>entails cycling as slowly as possible on the carriageway. Usually, also enjoyably noisy. I have bought too many messages, have old slow bike due to puncture on other commuting vehicle and it is into v strong wind so I may find myself in it dependent on route. Though better half does not want me sloping home late as my mother is arriving (have coulters candy for her) and son is involved in concert party. So shall check times/route in link above. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13472#post-166376 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:07:38 +0000 chdot 166376@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"what does this entail?"</p> <p>Who knows...</p> <p>Turn up at foot of The Mound (galleries' piazza) and follow a not-leader around central Edinburgh and leave when you choose. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13472#post-166374 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 14:03:24 +0000 Ed1 166374@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This evening I am going in to edinburgh to listen to some talk about the internet and technology at 8PM.
