It'll only encourage 'em.</p> <p>(+1 for the boat club's fence...) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15513#post-200457 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 16:36:45 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 200457@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As described - pretty much non existant. I have asked them before to ask the council to fit some. No idea if they have or not.</p> <p>I usually chain up to the Boat Club's fencing when down there </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15513#post-200453 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 16:24:11 +0000 wingpig 200453@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nowt at the Espy - one lamp-post next to a bin on the prom. All the Espy's drainpipes are too close to the wall to get even a cable behind.</p> <p>Swimming-pool racks have been mentioned in several of the "bike nicked" stories in the Portobellovian FB pages, though the level of locking applied was never explained.<br /> Lots of racks outside the soft play/former indoor bowling further west, but I think I remember them being badly-bolted-to-the-ground wheeltwisters rather than Sheffields.<br /> Some racks at the Co-up further up Bath Street and some on-street outside the police station. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15513#post-200448 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 16:16:33 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 200448@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nope, I think that's about it. Nearest 'proper' parking is further along the prom at the swimming pool, where there are a few Sheffields. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15513#post-200445 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 16:11:19 +0000 twq 200445@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Don't think it's great - usually see bikes chained to lamppost on the prom. It's been a while though, so maybe there's a better alternative. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15513#post-200438 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 15:44:33 +0000 Neil 200438@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What's the bike parking like around the Espy, Bath Street in Portobello....anyone know? </p>
