Luckily it was an unmarked patrol car, or it would have been embarassing to ask how to get to the local Police Station. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20171#post-327344 Fri, 10 Apr 2020 09:29:48 +0000 LaidBack 327344@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>One driver* on the A70 stopped car in road at high point. Driver got out to look over Pentlands and take a picture. Normally impossible as no lay by.<br /> Was very quiet though @gembo<br /> Couple of timber trucks and HiLux with trailer. No Porsches!<br /> If you own a flash car you really can't use it easily - many have minimal boot space for shopping.</p> <p>*Edit: modest car and may have been key worker. Need to be less judgemental. I waved as went by as we need to stay connected. Joylessly being locked down is tough for everyone. Not everyone can cycle. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20171#post-327338 Thu, 09 Apr 2020 22:15:44 +0000 gembo 327338@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@bax, they behaved well </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20171#post-327330 Thu, 09 Apr 2020 19:56:42 +0000 minus six 327330@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>get them telt, gembo</p> <p>they need reminding who's boss from time to time </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20171#post-327276 Thu, 09 Apr 2020 11:32:20 +0000 gembo 327276@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was coming up Harburn on to A70 today. Bit windy. Little traffic. I hear a vehicle behind me but see a car in front so I give the vehicle the hold back signal (Palm of hand). When clear I give them the big haymaker You can overtake now signal.</p> <p>When they did so turned out it was The Polis. Which was funny to me. </p>
