It even had a thrilling bike chase. Disappointed not to see the talented Uberuce of CCE in the show though. Bruce is the same team that did Alvin Sputnik in previous years, which didn't have a bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15263#post-195259 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 20:28:29 +0000 Vez 195259@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ventoux at Summerhall. Starts Thu 13, runs til 30 August, 13.55. Previews Thu 13 and Fri 14 for a bargain £5.<br /> Courtyard cycle racks currently hard to access due to volume of people, but plenty cycle parking on railings at front and side of building.<br /> I booked this so come along and prove me right! The guys are lovely and I think it'll be great.<br /> <a href="http://festival15.summerhall.co.uk/event/ventoux/" rel="nofollow">http://festival15.summerhall.co.uk/event/ventoux/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15263#post-195255 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 16:14:45 +0000 gembo 195255@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is a show called ventoux and the two actors cycle their bikes to a backdrop of the mountain. Lifted straight from Belleville rendezvous but without the betting. Might be lemond versus Hinault theme. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15263#post-195254 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:58:55 +0000 Colonies_Chris 195254@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd recommend the Handlebards, a group of guys who cycle from show to show performing Shakespeare, and incorporate the bikes into the show. Their Twelfth Night at Lauriston Castle a couple of years ago was inventive and hilarious, and they're back this year at the Botanics with A Midsummer Night's Dream and Hamlet. <a href="http://www.rbge.org.uk/whats-on/event-details/3869">Handlebards - Midsummer Night's Dream at the Botanics</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15263#post-195250 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 13:43:15 +0000 slowcoach 195250@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/actualdavidodoherty">David O'Doherty</a>, tenuously linked to Fringe as he is on at George Square (almost sold out) but this is from his new book Danger is Still Everywhere<br /> "7. Cycling<br /> On his list of the most dangerous ways to travel, Docter Noel has put cycling above rollerblading while blindfolded, and being fired from a cannon. What if your brakes squeak like a mouse and attract all the neighbourhood cats? Or if you accidentally cycle through somebody’s washing line, get covered with a white sheet and everybody thinks you are a ghost?" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15263#post-195249 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 12:54:11 +0000 shuggiet 195249@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thought I'd start a new thread on Festival events. Might start as tenuously related to CCE or cycling. Last nights Harmonium attracted loads of people with bikes.. So many that it was hard to get a place to leave one. The event was really inspiring even though I only could see a third of the Usher Hall from around the corner in Lothian road. I could hear it well though, and it was great to have a closed though scarily squashed Lothian road to watch it. Don't have photos , but there are loads on twitter with #harmonium. Today's festival event with obscure CCE connection will be <a href="https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/bruce">Bruce</a>. Report later. </p>
