I can't think that there is any, but will find out soon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19585#post-305962 Fri, 03 May 2019 22:57:22 +0000 jdanielp 305962@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19585#post-305961 Fri, 03 May 2019 22:21:56 +0000 unhurt 305961@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's not pleasant. Glad it missed you. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19585#post-305955 Fri, 03 May 2019 20:35:17 +0000 jdanielp 305955@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My confidence in this being sorted out swiftly has now diminished because the police are keen to come and talk to me in person but it doesn't seem entirely clear if anyone has actually attended the scene of the incident I reported. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19585#post-305954 Fri, 03 May 2019 19:28:08 +0000 jdanielp 305954@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Watch out on the canal towpath around Wester Hailes where it runs parallel to the playing fields. As I cycled by on my way home just now I had a glass bottle thrown at me, which seemingly missed me but smashed on the towpath.</p> <p>As I realised what was going on, I noticed that there was some glass on the towpath already and heard voices coming from behind the hedge/fence so I assume that a bottle was lobbed over from the playing field. I decided not to stop to try to find out any more.</p> <p>I've reported this to 101 so hopefully it will get sorted out fairly swiftly. </p>
