He stays out Ratho way I believe.

At any rate, I'm not capable of a beard, I didn't speak to anyone en route, and I went up Rankeillor St. Iain, perhaps you met Kaputnik who does have a beard (and sometimes a little passenger on the back) or the guy that looks a bit like Kaputnik and who sometimes carries a dog on the front. gembo on "To PY in July or nor to PY in July" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17941&page=2#post-256213 Fri, 28 Jul 2017 21:31:03 +0000 gembo 256213@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ @Iain McR, arellcat does not have a beard formidable or otherwise. You have spotted a different person on an elephant bike.

I was quite impressed with biketrain's re-engineering of the CarryFreedom trailer.

I saw 4 elephant bikes in total and rode 1. But alas only saw two at the same time, so a herd of elephant bikes was not achieved. Did you know Greenroofer has an elephant bike? Also got to be stoker on a laidback tandem. Thanks for the feedback on the bike carrying trailer, hopefully Hankchief will be able to demonstrate it load/bike carrying next time. chdot on "To PY in July or nor to PY in July" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17941&page=2#post-256183 Fri, 28 Jul 2017 14:50:40 +0000 chdot 256183@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <a href="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4308/35386293044_6504006a78_o.jpg"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4308/35386293044_41c7512009.jpg"></a> spytfyre on "To PY in July or nor to PY in July" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17941&page=2#post-256176 Fri, 28 Jul 2017 12:38:20 +0000 spytfyre 256176@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ I forgot it was today >.< gembo on "To PY in July or nor to PY in July" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17941&page=2#post-256172 Fri, 28 Jul 2017 10:50:03 +0000 gembo 256172@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ That worked really well with us all outside and active and trying out bikes, drinking coffee, chatting, being given books Good to see you all. Maybe a record? Very pleasant cycle t work there through the meadows, no hostility except two fellow cyclists in big hurry, one undertaking me, guess Morningsider et moi were taking up too much path. Meadows has lot of festival stuff getting set up. Very early this year.

If anyone wants to try laid back cycling and tandeming this is the bike. Two unpopular strands of cycling in one bike! Our Czech friends have been decent enough to lend this for reviews and feedback before we pack it for Eurobike. Dave McCraw and I rode last Friday and expect one of his reviews soon. In meantime others welcome to try. No deviant bike experience required. Sit on seat, move legs and bike goes forward. I do menial tasks like steering and brakes. (There is brake on back though along with rear view mirror). pm if you have any questions / are shy etc Your chance to do a short test after barge or PY for and support a small EU business (not us - Azub). dessert rat on "To PY in July or nor to PY in July" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17941#post-256078 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 10:13:19 +0000 dessert rat 256078@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ blog says "Around 7.30am-3pm weekdays" gembo on "To PY in July or nor to PY in July" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17941#post-256076 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 10:11:12 +0000 gembo 256076@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Not sure, I am aiming for 8 though that will be early for me (this week, not been preparing, e.g. leave ironing shirt until morning) We were at it at 8 a.m. after Brexit vote was it? wingpig on "To PY in July or nor to PY in July" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17941#post-256075 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 09:54:58 +0000 wingpig 256075@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ What time is the boat activated in the morning? gembo on "To PY in July or nor to PY in July" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17941#post-256062 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 07:23:26 +0000 gembo 256062@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Definite pattern in next few days of dry first thing wet later.
