Some sort of pub beer garden has been put there, so watch out for non-distancing unmasked people and smashed glass. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14613&page=4#post-329086 Tue, 05 May 2020 12:44:40 +0000 mcairney 329086@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm sure her column used to be titled "Bitching from Bruntsfield" but she may have moved since! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14613&page=4#post-329085 Tue, 05 May 2020 12:18:24 +0000 gembo 329085@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Where does EEN journalist Helen Martin live? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14613&page=4#post-329084 Tue, 05 May 2020 12:10:24 +0000 le_soigneur 329084@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Blackhall Residents page that lots of tacks and drawing pins were left scattered about on the cycle path near Sainsburys this morning<br /> <img src="https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/s960x960/92459987_3744418802241678_5205361386200236032_o.jpg?_nc_cat=108&amp;_nc_sid=ca434c&amp;_nc_ohc=7TIEaOFdxSAAX_8CLZb&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-amt2-1.xx&amp;_nc_tp=7&amp;oh=e28ea950790b51b88ec93d9e471f029c&amp;oe=5ED847AB"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14613&page=4#post-320187 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 12:10:53 +0000 gembo 320187@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lot of beer bottles out the woolfords to auchengray road.

I've done my best to sweep the glass to the side (in the absence of a brush - may well take up wingpig's suggestion above in future...), but I didn't manage a terribly good clearance of the one at the bottom of the steep/ rough path up to RD (brown glass, and nowhere easy to sweep it to). Take care if you are heading up/ down there.</p> <p>I've reported to @edin_help on Twitter. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14613&page=4#post-301413 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 18:40:58 +0000 wingpig 301413@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@neddie A wallpaper paste brush is flat and wide and bag-friendly, with bristles well-suited for flicking glass out if rutty bits of path.<br /> I'm not commuting this week but shall pop along there with my brush if I get a spares twenty minutes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14613&page=4#post-301401 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 16:26:15 +0000 LivM 301401@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I reported it to @edinhelp on Twitter yesterday evening too.

I realised what he was doing shortly after passing him when I saw the piles of glass ahead. Stopped the bike, git off and carried it over the wee bridge before remounting.</p> <p>Will be reporting to the relevant council team.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: <em>Crewe Road North is North Team's area, so reported to them via Twitter.
