Don't think there are any flags, but there are flyers and a few T-Shirts. If any of you are there, pop round and say hello. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13882&page=4#post-195870 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 09:33:01 +0000 jdanielp 195870@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I can confirm that PoP flags are not waterproof (despite mine having been reinforced with sellotape after having been torn by the wind several times) after neglecting to remove it from my bike this morning before setting out into the rain. Upon arriving at work, all that remained was the plastic stick with a thin line of mushy paper attached. If anyone spots the rest of the flag on the towpath (I suspect that it will have made it that far) before me, then please feel free to collect and bin it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13882&page=4#post-186395 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:19:34 +0000 I were right about that saddle 186395@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi i, I think MrSRD has two clicker-counters. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13882&page=4#post-186388 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 18:13:59 +0000 LaidBack 186388@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks @shuggiet </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13882&page=4#post-186386 Mon, 20 Apr 2015 17:37:18 +0000 SRD 186386@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have lots of leaflets and A4 posters suitable for use inside.

Look out for the LB tandem.<br /> Will be using the narrow offroad bike lane as park is hostile zone!<br /> Patrick Harvie has good page with plug for POP in National today.

I can't remember who was involved last year - maybe Fimm? I do remember it was all very chaotic at the end and we couldn't find any of the ride leaders but hopefully we can make a better plan this time... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13882&page=3#post-186247 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 17:43:46 +0000 biketrain 186247@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ARobComp.
