I chatted briefly with Councillor Gavin Corbett, who I'm now on canal towpath greeting terms, Jenny from Sustrans (who I'll be seeing later for a Heriot-Watt 'lock swap'), and ubiquitous Edinburgh presence Gandalf. I also spotted gembo and a few other familiar cycling faces, although I had to leave pretty much as the speeches were kicking off else I would have ended up arriving at work a tad late... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16537#post-223157 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 22:07:06 +0000 Tulyar 223157@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Considering - coach this time.
