I don't think this username was particularly anonymous anyway. :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20634#post-352417 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 19:48:06 +0000 dessert rat 352417@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's suspicious name to be sure. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20634#post-352413 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 17:52:11 +0000 gembo 352413@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Kermit Wanglebender is stalking me he maybe has added a like </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20634#post-352400 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 13:45:15 +0000 dessert rat 352400@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>8.

However, it must be hard locally if you use the main FB groups. I don't remember ever seeing anyone ask about cycling from the WoL villages to work or anywhere else but plenty of anti-sentiment that I doubt really reflects everyone's views. In that respect it might create more of an audience locally that is less hostile to active travel / liveable streets that can help each other. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20634#post-352313 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 16:08:02 +0000 gembo 352313@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I would join. There will be trolls the admin would need to remove. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20634#post-352309 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 15:16:45 +0000 Dave 352309@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've had a couple of chats with local people on Facebook recently and it made me wonder if a facebook group specifically for SW Edinburgh active travel would be a useful thing. There are obviously local FB groups already (where Gembo fights the good fight) but sometimes the reception can be a bit hostile with people jumping in to moan about bike lanes etc.</p> <p>Anybody got any thoughts on the wisdom of this? Or interested in such a thing? </p>
