I remember a cyclist held up the fuel protest on Princes Street in 2000. He/she refused to move bringing the lorries, taxis etc to a halt. I've often wondered who that was and what happened after they got arrested. Anyone here? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18291#post-264898 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 14:04:29 +0000 unhurt 264898@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I like this lady. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18291#post-264897 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 13:59:07 +0000 crowriver 264897@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Woman makes her feelings clear as she is overtaken by the US president’s motorcade on its way back from golf club</p> <p>(With photo capturing the moment for posterity),</p> <p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oct/29/hail-to-the-chief-cyclist-gives-trump-the-middle-finger" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oct/29/hail-to-the-chief-cyclist-gives-trump-the-middle-finger</a></p> <p>I'm sure many of us have felt this way while being overtaken.
