Hemma might be the venue of choice. (Alternatives with more coffee are also possible.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-272398 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 13:50:31 +0000 unhurt 272398@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@wingpig not that I can find. Best I can see if if you're a channel OWNER you can see everyone's email addresses and could prod them that way. But I'm not an owner in the PoP channel. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-272278 Fri, 12 Jan 2018 18:31:42 +0000 unhurt 272278@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmm.

If you joined the Slack group but haven't logged in since before Christmas, this is a plea to do so.</p> <p>Don't make me have a meeting all by myself. That would be SAD. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-212786 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 19:54:22 +0000 sallyhinch 212786@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm wondering about posting about POP in other cycling forums. I don't actually read any apart from this one, but for those who are regulars in any vaguely relevant forums it would be fantastic if you used them to spread the word (if that doesn't breach that particular forum's etiquette). I think it's always more effective coming from someone who posts regularly rather than someone who signs up just to advertise something. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-212705 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 21:33:12 +0000 SRD 212705@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lidl had big bags of cable ties too... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-212704 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 21:06:23 +0000 LaidBack 212704@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good tip about chalk.<br /> Our pile is now smaller so we'll need a top up. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-212696 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 18:22:26 +0000 wingpig 212696@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have heard that B&amp;M homestores (branches at Seafield and Meadowbank and elsewhere) has GIANT footway-chalk. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-212695 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 18:11:09 +0000 shuggiet 212695@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Updated list:</p> <p>For those looking to pick up flyers here are the current distribution points (there will be more later)</p> <p>Big pile of flyers at:</p> <p>Edinburgh Bike Coop Marchmont<br /> Edinburgh Bike Coop Canonmills<br /> Eastside Bikes<br /> Laidback Bikes</p> <p>Smaller piles of flyers at:</p> <p>Harts Cyclery (stickers too)<br /> Bike Station<br /> Soul Cycles<br /> Grease Monkey<br /> Blackhall Cycle Repair<br /> BikeTrax<br /> Bikeworks<br /> Cycle Service<br /> Evans Cycles<br /> Velo Ecosse<br /> Leith Cycle Company</p> <p>There are also flyers at Cafe Siempre in Glasgow </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-211781 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 14:26:28 +0000 sallyhinch 211781@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>For those looking to pick up flyers here are the current distribution points (there will be more later)</p> <p>Big pile of flyers at:</p> <p>Edinburgh Bike Coop Marchmont<br /> Laidback Bikes</p> <p>Smaller piles of flyers at:</p> <p>Harts Cyclery (stickers too)<br /> Bike Station<br /> Soul Cycles<br /> Grease Monkey<br /> Blackhall Cycle Repair<br /> BikeTrax<br /> Bikeworks<br /> Cycle Service<br /> Evans Cycles<br /> Velo Ecosse</p> <p>There are also flyers at Cafe Siempre in Glasgow </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-211684 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 11:23:50 +0000 fimm 211684@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@wingpig that should work very well. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-211656 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 20:15:28 +0000 sallyhinch 211656@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We should have stickers now to give out which say 'I'm going to POP' - the idea being that if you stick one on your bike you won't get flyered again.

Great for HWU. Yes, we have tried flyering on parts of the towpath. Best location has been at the Slateford Viaduct at commute times (morning or evening). It would work pretty well if you have more than one person there.</p> <p>@Stephan - you volunteering? shouldn't be a problem given they are so-pro cycling. :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-211377 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 15:46:12 +0000 shuggiet 211377@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <br /> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-211376 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 15:44:59 +0000 Stickman 211376@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well, they are keen to show that they aren't anti-cycling </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-211373 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 15:33:14 +0000 Stephan Matthiesen 211373@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Who's distributing flyers in the Roseburn shops? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16015#post-211370 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 15:25:37 +0000 jdanielp 211370@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm happy to cover Heriot-Watt University again this year.</p> <p>Has anyone ever tried flyering on the towpath?
