Mostly involved lifting the bike (heavy and electric) up various flights of stairs. However also cyclyed under on small wiry archway into Bauksmill Park and then through a very small garden and out a similar wire archway spelling the Bauksmill Park. This required a tiny amount of ability and some ducking. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16250#post-254013 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 12:56:34 +0000 kaputnik 254013@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is there a contact email for the project? I've tweeted a couple of times about the access to the shared use path at corner of Bowmont Place / St. Leonard's Hill, where the bollards were removed (or damaged) by the excavators and replaced by big lumps of stone and concrete which make access the path by bike or with a buggy troublesome.</p> <p>I was going to suggest that the double yellows on this corner need repainted too, as last couple of times I came past there was a car parked on corner decamping or collecting the little'uns for their fun on the berms. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16250#post-253940 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 19:53:12 +0000 chdot 253940@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>A celebration of over 200 years of history: tracing the origins of the Braidwood Academy for the deaf &amp; mute up until the Skelf Bikepark opening this year.

There are a few unanswered questions about the opening party on the Facebook page by the way... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16250#post-245488 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 12:44:01 +0000 Morningsider 245488@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Took the commuter round the MTB trail this morning - great fun, although my MTB skills are decidedly less than knarly these days.</p> <p>Well done to everyone involved. I have a feeling this will be a great success. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16250#post-245466 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 23:18:03 +0000 chdot 245466@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/761/32823675334_8f56dab750.jpg"></p> <p><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2858/33510132752_51991e12b2.jpg"></p> <p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3934/33537283971_78125a6cc2.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16250#post-245387 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 18:50:45 +0000 LaidBack 245387@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Couldn't find another thread. </p> <p>Was in Cycle Service today and one of the first users was in getting his bike fixed up.

Good that enough CCEers got involved in helping - especially at the this stage. </p> <p>Of course the phenomenon of a small number of objectors making a lot of noise is familiar to people on this forum - 20mph march (a few people/taxis and a dog), Roseburn (man and bicycle etc.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16250#post-216298 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 06:45:20 +0000 HankChief 216298@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Where's the like button?</p> <p>Keep up the good work @angus, it's going to be great. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16250#post-216296 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 00:12:54 +0000 Angus 216296@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone on CCE who helped the project get through it's recent bumpy patch, signed the petition, got stuck in on Facebook etc.</p> <p>Your support was deeply, deeply appreciated, and I'm very pleased to say everything is again looking very positive, and that with a bit of luck we should get it built this Autumn!<br /> Cheers<br /> Angus </p>
