May just be a bohemian edge of the New Town thing, but I doubt it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17621#post-247081 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 00:24:36 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 247081@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was passed twice today in the countryside by panel vans where, after passing, one could smell the dope smoke left behind from the open windows. Could have been passengers, but I hae my doobts... the 2nd time was on the Roslin Glen road, which feels sketchy to cycle at the best of times.</p> <p>To be quite honest, I'd support random stops and roadblocks for testing. Polis Scotland ain't the force to make it happen, though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17621#post-247080 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 23:34:58 +0000 wee folding bike 247080@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fastest growing in the same way Klingon is the fastest growing language on the planet.</p> <p>Not sure if I count as reliant on caffeine.
