Now I want to buy something from homebase just so I can have a shot. Wonder what I could get... Although knowing my luck somebody else will have borrowed it first, and I'll be in the comedy role trying to strap a massive bag of compost to my bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17799#post-254118 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 09:27:19 +0000 Jester 254118@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I cycled round the other day and had I been buying something larger would definitely have used it. Great stuff from Homebase. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17799#post-252023 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 20:09:45 +0000 HankChief 252023@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Surely the race is with 2 people trying to pick up something (say a flat pack bookcase) by bike.</p> <p>1 tries it on their normal bike with comedy efforts of lashing down the package.</p> <p>The other uses the cargo bike but has to add in time to go back and return the cargo bike.</p> <p>Would be an interesting result. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17799#post-252022 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 20:05:01 +0000 neddie 252022@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Amazed if it ever gets used</em></p> <p>That sounds like a challenge!</p> <p>If only they had two...</p> <p>Race... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17799#post-252021 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 19:45:06 +0000 LaidBack 252021@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>10/10 PR hit.

Looks very new and shiny. Is this the Homebase at Craigleith? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17799#post-251966 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 12:46:35 +0000 dessert rat 251966@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone else seen this ? I presume its there to allow you take your purchases home, not for use around the store.</p> <p>Still, you'd need to go to Homebase, shop, borrow the bike, take stuff home, bring bike back then go home.</p> <p>10/10 for trying, less/10 for practicality.</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/Uga59v"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4221/34302069333_c7523b33da_z.jpg"></a> </p>
