They'll get the hint. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19918#post-316670 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 11:17:01 +0000 steveo 316670@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cap, dip your head instead of shouting. </p> <p>Its much more effective than howling at the moon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19918#post-316669 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 11:15:25 +0000 CycleCommute.CC 316669@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What tunnel @gembo? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19918#post-316663 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 10:34:05 +0000 SRD 316663@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>For them maybe.

Overly bright lights are better than no lights. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19918#post-316658 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 10:27:00 +0000 bill 316658@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo I suppose yesterday lots of people were caught by surprise with the darkness (and that will continue that for the next few weeks). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19918#post-316637 Mon, 28 Oct 2019 19:36:59 +0000 gembo 316637@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Tonight lot of unlit bikes, unlit peds and blinding oncoming head torches and bike lights. In years gone by I would shout out BLINDING etc but now i just thank the odd person who dips. Towpath is an endurance until the WoL Path then it is fairly good. Was chatting to the muralist in the tunnel, big jump forwards. He says spring 2020 but is maybe 2/3rds done? </p>
