I didn't really expect when I replied to an email about the event to ask about bike parking to be told there was space for 8 bikes, so it would probably be better to drive out.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14381#post-180976 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:27:48 +0000 neddie 180976@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>One of these, I mean:</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/qUYack"><img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8582/16351977429_79fcab2e06.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/qUYack">IMAG0596</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/66351898@N06/">edd1e_h</a>, on Flickr</p> <p>You'd be doing the world a favour by removing it... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14381#post-180951 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:07:13 +0000 condor2378 180951@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Booo, sold out. :-( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14381#post-180945 Sun, 15 Feb 2015 22:46:27 +0000 neddie 180945@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You could get one of these from the top of Dalry colonies</p> <p><img src="https://flic.kr/p/qUYack"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14381#post-180943 Sun, 15 Feb 2015 21:54:34 +0000 acsimpson 180943@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Personally I think a nice blue cyclist dismount sign at the door to the bike shed would be the ultimate accessory. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14381#post-180706 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:58:58 +0000 Dave 180706@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sounds cool, but do you have an authentic "CYCLISTS SLOW DOWN!!!!!!" sign in the collection? :P </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14381#post-180696 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:23:33 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 180696@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Given there's going to be a chance to meet him (and get photos, in a celeb selfie stylee) I've got an idea for a print in mind, to get signed, then hang it in the garage amongst the bikes, event number plates, and a stolen TdF sign. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14381#post-180687 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:31:24 +0000 HankChief 180687@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@greenroofer: As long as I can get in to feed the tiger I see no problem to adding the fleet :)<br /> They all get used on a monthly basis so the investment committee is happy.</p> <p>You also missed 1 of my bikes - Old fast bike - the one I offered you to start your sportive/audax career ;) It's currently set up as my turbo bike though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14381#post-180685 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 21:01:35 +0000 Greenroofer 180685@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just noticed that Hankchief mentioned above that he'd been to Criterium for his new 'fast' bike. By my reckoning, that means that n&gt;=4. From what I've seen there's practical bike, enormous bike, fast bike and now-even-faster bike. Are you operating (or being required to operate) a one-in, one-out policy? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14381#post-180665 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 15:39:41 +0000 crowriver 180665@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@amir, at least you won't have to endure the cheerless surroundings of Dobbies 'restaurant'.

Criterium Cycles is located at Dobbies Garden World, Melville Nurseries, Lasswade and we are grateful to our good friends at Dobbies - they have made their restaurant area available to us for the evening so we can get a decent number of people in as possible.</p> <p>"</p> <p>I <em>still</em> haven't been out for a look. Must be doing OK.
