Alas the Edinburgh University security people are doing the bike marking and are taking staff/student numbers. At some point before the police came along and I believe then anyone could do it but not now. According to the security people the police charge £45 to do it, but that may not be true.</p> <p>Unfortunately I cannot make it to Easter Bush today on account of work.. sorry to have to cancel. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14444#post-183833 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 16:34:17 +0000 Greenroofer 183833@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Does anyone have a contact for the Police bike-marking people? I'd like to invite them to my work for an event we're running.</p> <p>Last time they came (2013) they were worried about the impact of the Police Scotland changes. When I met them again at PoP 2014, they were relaxed again. Trouble is, I don't have a name because my contact there has moved on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14444#post-182681 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 12:23:41 +0000 jdanielp 182681@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just wondering if anybody knows what kind of locks the police are selling these days? Also, is there any truth in the rumour that they are available to buy from police stations and is marking available from them directly too? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14444#post-182675 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 12:06:07 +0000 Roibeard 182675@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As there's no other takers, I'll pick up this week's sessions.</p> <p>@drnoble, I'll thus leave you on your own for next week, if that's OK.</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14444#post-182505 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:07:20 +0000 algo 182505@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>alas not a great turnout today despite the sunshine - managed to talk to a few people but had to leave at 1 unfortunately - I hope I didn't miss everyone turning up later </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14444#post-182501 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 13:22:53 +0000 algo 182501@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Apologies for redundant post - on phone at ECA and didn't read properly </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14444#post-182498 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 13:06:08 +0000 algo 182498@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No police today - last minute cancellation </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14444#post-182496 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 12:54:40 +0000 wingpig 182496@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cheers.

The latter is just for staff and students and one per person, but the marking hasn't been so restricted.</p> <p>It may be restricted in practice, but might still be worth a punt if you're near Edinburgh College of Art tomorrow (5th) between 1200-1400.</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14444#post-182015 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 23:46:27 +0000 drnoble 182015@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I am at KB, so happy to help out on the 19th.

I can do the 19th at the Pleasance place for a short while in the afternoon I think… for Easter Bush I may have to shorten it a bit as it takes a bit longer to get there and get back…. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14444#post-181897 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:44:26 +0000 Roibeard 181897@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Right, there's now a Doodle Poll for folk to volunteer.</p> <p>Algo, if you wouldn't mind, could you update it with your offer?
