I could get as far as my office but the next stretch (up Bush Loan) would have to be on-road unless I could find a way through Pentlands Science Park and the Bush Estate. My security pass would only let me through the pedestrian gate but that gate is too tight for a bike and trailer. </p> <p>My office manager very sweetly asked the Security guys if they would upgrade my pass to allow me access to the car gate and RESULT! I can now take my 2 year old in the bike trailer entirely off-road between home and her nursery. </p> <p>It took roughly 5 minutes of time of one of the Security staff but has saved me such a lot of worry from cycling up Bush Loan with a toddler. </p> <p>I'm buying them chocolates to say thanks. </p>
