Didn't have time to try and use one of the bike boxes but it would have been a bit too unwieldy for children to use or for me to drag to work. Should have booked out a meeting room with a good view, good blinds and a good wall opposite the window and made it into a giant camera obscura. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14538&page=2#post-183769 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 09:48:44 +0000 Arellcat 183769@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not looking good in That London; a healthy eight oktas of cloud. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14538#post-183762 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 08:26:00 +0000 SRD 183762@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ooooh!
