Croatia had a difficult WWII, and may indeed have cheered on the invasion of Poland in some parts. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20336#post-336772 Tue, 01 Sep 2020 10:56:15 +0000 gembo 336772@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@rosie, who can say what will and won’t be popular with.

Except for her helmet, she is wearing smart-casual civvies, including a ladylike shoulder bag. She doesn't look like the lycraed freak of dark legend. Let's hope she sets a trend for fashionable urban cycling. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20336#post-336757 Tue, 01 Sep 2020 08:25:37 +0000 wingpig 336757@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Presumably the difference between actors who have ridden a bicycle before (Grainger, Andrew Lincoln in Teachers and Walking Dead) and those who look like they've never been on one prior to filming (Jonny Lee Miller in the Obree film, Eric Bana in Munich). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20336#post-336754 Tue, 01 Sep 2020 07:56:39 +0000 I were right about that saddle 336754@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Whit are yis babblin aboot? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20336#post-336750 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 22:26:21 +0000 gembo 336750@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is a lot of fumbling around in the darkness in all these Cormorant Strike stories for sure. He seems mostlly to solve the crimes in the streets around his office in Denmark Street with the odd foray into the countryside. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20336#post-336749 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 22:19:19 +0000 Rosie 336749@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I noted the number of bicycles in this episode, in the few scenes that weren't shot in darkness. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20336#post-336746 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 21:12:50 +0000 gembo 336746@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Holliday Grainger’s character has a bicycle and each episode on way to office does a very nifty dismount </p>
