As a runner and future dog owner (hopefully) it's nice to have some unpaved paths in the city. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18976#post-286610 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 13:51:18 +0000 neddie 286610@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Related thread:</p> <p><a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18699" rel="nofollow">http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18699</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18976#post-286605 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 13:35:46 +0000 Blueth 286605@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not being a denizen of any of DVRL's pages I, unfortunately, missed out on this and would like to have contributed. No doubt others feel the same.</p> <p>Local cyling groups apparently e-mailed but evidently not the biggest local cycling group, Cycling UK Lothians and Borders, whose approx 1200 members might have given substantial contributions. Perhaps something for future survey publishers reading this to bear in mind? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18976#post-286595 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 12:36:13 +0000 gembo 286595@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>resu;ts</p> <p><a href="http://deanvalley.org.uk/sites/default/files/documents/dean_valley_cyclist_survey_2018.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://deanvalley.org.uk/sites/default/files/documents/dean_valley_cyclist_survey_2018.pdf</a> </p>
