I am in shorts today. Il Pirata says to me on the way by, Enjoy the summer. I thought this was funny.</p> <p>Not as funny as me then sucking his wheel until Hrrison Gdns but without him realising, even though my studs are grinding away on the towpath as Il Pirata has his earphones in. Also bad squeak but then he can't hear it. I towed him from Boroughmuir rugby pitches actually. And then at the final stretch to the lift bridge at leamington I went on the mud side and he took out a few peds to the photo finish at the bollards. I thought I nicked it. Or is that knicked it? No other bikes heading east though apart from me and Marco. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16120#post-213423 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 10:59:49 +0000 I were right about that saddle 213423@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As is as and es is es and meet never the twain shall. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16120#post-213416 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 10:43:08 +0000 Chug 213416@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Might not have been "no cyclists" day, just "all cyclists same speed travel at" day. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16120#post-213410 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 10:26:54 +0000 Min 213410@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Gemboese you speak?
