I think use of the term "push-bike" is a give away. </p> <p>I guess the underlying problem is not the cycles, rather the invasion of hundreds of tourists for a couple of hours from a cruise ship. They might as well be on foot, crammed into buses on narrow roads, or whatever. But they presumably also give some economic benefits. </p> chdot on "“Bid to ease tensions between locals and cruise ship cyclists”" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21367#post-370408 Thu, 14 Sep 2023 10:36:10 +0000 chdot 370408@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://news.stv.tv/highlands-islands/bid-to-ease-tensions-between-locals-and-cruise-ship-cyclists-in-orkney" rel="nofollow">https://news.stv.tv/highlands-islands/bid-to-ease-tensions-between-locals-and-cruise-ship-cyclists-in-orkney</a> </p>
