I suspect this is more a measure of how many people cycle in North Lanarkshire. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1683#post-16553 Fri, 12 Nov 2010 20:24:22 +0000 Claggy Cog 16553@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I am not sure that he would appreciate a debate on him on a public forum... he strikes me as a very private individual, he certainly does not engage in any pleasantries on meeting or acknowledge you. So I won't be telling him about CCE!! He has only had this bike about a year, having before a red, 10-speed tourer, and it appeared to be brand new then. Good to know about the efficacy of facial hair as a means of keeping warm, but I won't be benefitting from it any time soon!! He also has a good head of hair. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1683#post-16552 Fri, 12 Nov 2010 19:36:19 +0000 kaputnik 16552@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>that's brilliant, what a legend. And in espadrilles too! Love the second, panning shot. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1683#post-16551 Fri, 12 Nov 2010 19:07:54 +0000 wee folding bike 16551@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Liz, yes, facial hair does make a perceptible difference on a cold day. You feel the chill when you trim it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1683#post-16550 Fri, 12 Nov 2010 19:05:59 +0000 wee folding bike 16550@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's a priest bike also known as Kruisframe and Pastoorsfiets.</p> <p>It's not an antiquity, you can still get them.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dutchbike.co.uk/Traditional4.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dutchbike.co.uk/Traditional4.htm</a></p> <p>Need to have a keek inside my chaincase. I think it was submerged this morning. The hubs were running in the bow wave so they were out of the water. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1683#post-16541 Fri, 12 Nov 2010 16:13:49 +0000 Claggy Cog 16541@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>He and I quite often compete for somewhere/something to chain our respective bikes up/to. He wears similar attire all year round making little concession to the elements. Maybe his beard keeps him warm... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1683#post-16538 Fri, 12 Nov 2010 15:57:08 +0000 PS 16538@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's a <strong>great</strong> beard. Less keen on the shoes, but I ain't gonna argue with a beard of those proportions. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1683#post-16535 Fri, 12 Nov 2010 15:21:16 +0000 wingpig 16535@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Excellent. I always used to pass that guy heading south over High Street/Bank Street down George IV when I was heading to Dundas Street. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1683#post-16534 Fri, 12 Nov 2010 15:19:52 +0000 chdot 16534@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Beard, trousers or bike? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1683#post-16532 Fri, 12 Nov 2010 15:11:53 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 16532@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5168865221/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4107/5168865221_757a4988ca.jpg"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5168866391/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/5168866391_b23ae16a98.jpg"></a> </p>
