One has been left outside Dominos at the full height, presumably for comparison sakes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19061#post-289224 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 08:23:49 +0000 Frenchy 289224@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Interesting - they're definitely sunk in elsewhere. Perhaps a quick temporary installation that will be rectified <strike>after the festival</strike> eventually. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19061#post-289222 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 05:54:56 +0000 gkgk 289222@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think you may be right here, Frenchy - they are bolted to ground at pavement height but maybe they're meant to be sunk a bit and in-filled. More of same over road at Scotmid corner. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19061#post-289218 Mon, 20 Aug 2018 22:48:55 +0000 Snowy 289218@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Penny farthings are making a comeback? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19061#post-289193 Mon, 20 Aug 2018 13:56:21 +0000 Frenchy 289193@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have they perhaps not been shoved far enough into the ground? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19061#post-289191 Mon, 20 Aug 2018 13:48:40 +0000 gkgk 289191@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>New Sheffield bike racks at Nicholson Street corner near Machina coffee, they are so tall. I hope they were ordered in error and are not the new standard because they don't look as useful at that height. Not sure what sort of bike would chain to the top rail. </p>
