I didn’t realise it was that close to the pub. It is a miracle that there was not a tragedy here. That outside area is usually mobbed with people. There was a young family who were about 10 yards further up the road when it happened so they were incredibly lucky.”</em></p> <p><a href="https://www.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh-pub-goers-forced-to-leap-out-of-way-as-car-sped-towards-pub-1-4772380" rel="nofollow">https://www.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh-pub-goers-forced-to-leap-out-of-way-as-car-sped-towards-pub-1-4772380</a></p> <p>I trust Cardownie will be writing a similar "outraged of Edinburgh" article about speeding BMW drivers?</p> <p>I'll wait... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18982#post-287199 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 23:19:06 +0000 chdot 287199@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>At least ‘all cyclists’ won’t get blamed for this one -</p> <p>“</p> <p>Anas Sarwar, the party’s spokesman for health, was speaking with a journalist from Sky’s Asian channels when two men cycled past, with one shouting ‘P**i b*****d’ as he went.</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/scottish-labour-msp-anas-sarwar-racially-abused-in-glasgow-1-4770483" rel="nofollow">https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/scottish-labour-msp-anas-sarwar-racially-abused-in-glasgow-1-4770483</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18982#post-286815 Thu, 12 Jul 2018 12:22:08 +0000 Cyclingmollie 286815@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Since price is mentioned, I wonder what price a parent would pay to have the next part of this call from a school: "Your child has been knocked down..." be "...by a bike" rather than "...by a car"? Probably hard to put a price on. Is the contribution of cyclists to road safety by this measure, priceless? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18982#post-286813 Thu, 12 Jul 2018 12:03:38 +0000 wishicouldgofaster 286813@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As he is clearly a model citizen I'm sure he has had numerous similar chats with motorists.

See today's rubbish cycling. , @iainmcr has asked for a similar piece about pennyfarthingists. Something along the lines of Red Flag ignoring pennyfarthingists? Must be hard to stop start a pennyfarthingists especially outside leith asda </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18982#post-286794 Thu, 12 Jul 2018 09:50:59 +0000 chdot 286794@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/steve-cardownie-cyclist-runs-red-light-then-flips-me-off-1-4766713" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/steve-cardownie-cyclist-runs-red-light-then-flips-me-off-1-4766713</a> </p>
