Thanks all! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15766#post-204980 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 15:35:53 +0000 Darkerside 204980@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I really like the one I ended up with. She apparently makes custom designs at no extra cost either, so if there's a particular image that mini-condor fancies you might be onto a winner.</p> <p>I used a B&amp;Q fake green plastic garden cane. Was stiff enough despite using the full 2m length, so I imagine a version cut down to a more practical length would be spot on...</p> <p><a href="http://www.diy.com/departments/gardman-plastic-steel-green-garden-stake-w16mm-h21m/254475_BQ.prd" rel="nofollow">http://www.diy.com/departments/gardman-plastic-steel-green-garden-stake-w16mm-h21m/254475_BQ.prd</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15766#post-204971 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 14:05:52 +0000 condor2378 204971@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks LB &amp; DS for the thoughts. I was heading to work so backtrack was not possible. </p> <p>I made it a bit of a game today for him to keep a good look out for it. Didn't find it but he tells me he hopes to see it tonight. The innocence of youth. </p> <p>I think we'll have a look at the raindropkites site and maybe pick one of these, they look ideal. Any suggestions on a suitable replacement for the stick and where to buy? Garden greenstick perhaps but maybe a bit bendy? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15766#post-204909 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 21:16:20 +0000 Darkerside 204909@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If the flag is not recovered, I can recommend:</p> <p><a href="http://www.raindropkites.co.uk/banners/bentflags.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.raindropkites.co.uk/banners/bentflags.html</a></p> <p>as being really good at making flags. Occupying a somewhat niche market, but some nice designs and really solidly put together.</p> <p>Feedback from the Glasgow Walk/Cycle/Vote ride was that one made for a very visible back marker :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15766#post-204907 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 20:46:44 +0000 LaidBack 204907@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes. They get very attached to things that get lost. Remember having to loop back round to parks to pick up assorted dolls etc but I was self employed so could work round it.</p> <p>I only have an extra ICE trike flag in three sections. Not orange!</p> <p>Hope it turns up or you get an exact copy. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15766#post-204815 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 10:46:57 +0000 condor2378 204815@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>Upon getting to the bottom of Lothian Road today I discovered that the 4ft Orange Trek flag has been rattled off the back of my son's tagalong. Child no 2 is a bit upset about it :-(</p> <p>In the unlikely event that anyone has seen/picked it up, can you give me a shout please? It will have come off somewhere between Canaan Lane / Newbattle Terrace / Whitehouse Loan / Bruntsfield Links / Lothian Road.</p> <p>Basically, along this route between South Morningside Primary and the bottom of Lothian Road.</p> <p><a href="https://www.strava.com/activities/434831376" rel="nofollow">https://www.strava.com/activities/434831376</a></p> <p>Thanks all. </p>
