Was feeling bad about holding the passengers up from their dinners but on looking at my watch it only seems to have taken me a little over 20 mins so now I don't feel so bad. Just very skint. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2051#post-21670 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 17:36:23 +0000 Stepdoh 21670@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>yeh, it's the ones that rhyme with the German word for sausage. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2051#post-21653 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 15:08:26 +0000 Dave 21653@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>When I saw the title of the thread, I made a little bet with myself as to the bus company involved.</p> <p>I wasn't disappointed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2051#post-21648 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 14:23:11 +0000 Stepdoh 21648@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It may have been him, guessing I hadn't made him too happy :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2051#post-21644 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 13:43:53 +0000 kaputnik 21644@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Was just negotiating the morrison street/haymarket bit and could sense a bus looming behind me</em></p> <p>If it was a single-decker then I was almost run off the road into the roadworks at Western Corner by a white/purple/pink one on the same morning. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2051#post-21640 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 13:35:18 +0000 Stepdoh 21640@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I forgot to mention the bit of brilliantly bad bus driving I saw/caused on wed (I don't know if Kaputnik was behind me at that point or popped up somewhere else)</p> <p>Was just negotiating the morrison street/haymarket bit and could sense a bus looming behind me (of the white/purple/pink variety).</p> <p>I was going at a fair pace at this point and he roaringly tried to overtake me, missing his stop in the process. Cue some waving and rather annoyed passengers. Just a touch of the brakes and he could have stopped no problem.</p> <p>Rolled past him again when he was stopped 100m up the road. </p>
