We'll be launching our 'Play Together on Pedals' project too : ) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18852#post-284434 Sun, 10 Jun 2018 10:35:23 +0000 Arellcat 284434@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The velomobile doesn't do tightly spaced cycle stands. It doesn't really do cycle stands at all, to be honest.</p> <p>I'd thought for fun I could take the train to Shawfair, whence I could follow the railway path most of the way home. It's a pain not having the access from the path at Gilmerton Road yet. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18852#post-284432 Sun, 10 Jun 2018 08:11:11 +0000 Frenchy 284432@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The racks at Pleasance are very tightly packed together - I wouldn't fancy your chances of fitting the torpedo in, but I'm certainly not an expert in parking velomobiles.</p> <p>Would Gilmerton Road be a better option for heading to Dobbie's? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18852#post-284430 Sun, 10 Jun 2018 00:07:30 +0000 Arellcat 284430@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is any of the cycle parking at t'Pleasance secure enough or accessible enough to park the red torpedo? Wondering whether it'll be OK for an hour, or if I should bring a more townworthy bike.</p> <p>I kind of want to head to Dobbies afterwards, without having to massively doubleback on myself along Gilmerton Station Road, but don't fancy the Sherrifhall roundabout on the Elephant Bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18852#post-284294 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 13:19:16 +0000 Kim 284294@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is some cycle parking in the courtyard at the Pleasance, but there are more Sheffield stands next door at the sports centre. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18852#post-284286 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 10:25:44 +0000 EdinburghCycleCam 284286@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was tempted by the night ride, but I'm doing 50-60 hour weeks at the moment, and will be dead come Friday night :(.

Hoping to do the 20th century architecture ride too.</p> <p>Had thought about going to Copenhagenize, but I need to pack for the York Rally.
