Although perhaps as I was outside that means I wasn't.</p> <p>Indeed, as no one has yet bought it from me I was riding a Helios. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20862&page=3#post-360018 Tue, 26 Apr 2022 15:56:49 +0000 mcairney 360018@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Missed it due to it clashing with the Loch Ness Etape.

I (rightly) predicted that people wearing Barbours and brogues would be under-represented at the event, so I came on a green Elephant Bike dressed as a Tory (for reasons that aren't entirely clear to me).</p> <p>In the picture above of the Chief Marshal on the HP Feeder Ride holding up traffic you can see my front wheel intruding on the left of the picture. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20862&page=3#post-359997 Mon, 25 Apr 2022 16:49:06 +0000 chdot 359997@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for overseeing the organising/event. </p> <p>Fix a 2023 date ASAP!</p> <p>Route wasn’t <em>as</em> bad as I feared. </p> <p>But a Meadows start definitely preferably. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20862&page=3#post-359996 Mon, 25 Apr 2022 16:01:30 +0000 ARobComp 359996@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Great to see so many people out there.

I know some drivers may have been "inconvenienced" however I arrived as lights just went against me and the ride started to go through..... when my lights next went green you were all through and clear of the main road.</p> <p>Don't know your official numbers for that ride but I'd estimate at least a hundred bikes - a hundred bikes in such a short space of time? No way motorised transpaort could match that in terms of moving people unless a couple of full buses..... :-)</p> <p>Hope everybody had a great day and got home safely. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20862&page=3#post-359972 Sat, 23 Apr 2022 17:56:41 +0000 SRD 359972@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>fab to see lots of you guys - including a couple of folk I had not met before! </p> <p>what amazing sun at Holyrood. decent speeches too. kids old enough to listen to them properly this year. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20862&page=3#post-359970 Sat, 23 Apr 2022 16:33:44 +0000 gembo 359970@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Best Pop ever for The Crusher a party.
