He performed the stunt just after yelling at a couple of pedestrians who had stepped into the road in front of him, then swearing at them as he passed. Not exactly doing his bit for cyclist-pedestrian relations there I thought. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21560#post-375520 Tue, 18 Jun 2024 15:38:30 +0000 SRD 375520@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Also balaclava wearing delivery riders. Saw one on Yeaman place around 9am today. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21560#post-375518 Tue, 18 Jun 2024 14:58:05 +0000 gembo 375518@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gresahm flyer</p> <p>Good point I have been seeing very slightly better Just Eat and Deliveroo e bike riders of late</p> <p>But statistically it should be one of them</p> <p>The Balaclava Boys have been wheelying up Balerno in recent days causing extreme consternation amongst the Neighbourhood watch</p> <p>In fairness one was wheelying at me last week on NEPN on my way to Muirhouse and I did check just in case things went Pete Tong but was cool </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21560#post-375515 Tue, 18 Jun 2024 13:35:07 +0000 Gresham Flyer 375515@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The vast majority of e-bikes in the area are (food) delivery bikes with only the occasional "wheelie balaclava e bike rider" and hardly any "elderly Dutch helmet wearing riders" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21560#post-375514 Tue, 18 Jun 2024 12:37:29 +0000 gembo 375514@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I suspect wheelie balaclava e bike rider rather than elderly Dutch helmet wearing rider. When my bike was stoke. A couple of weeks ago in Ayr where the cop shop is closed I had to phone Glasgow. My call back was maybe big call centre Loanhead? Despite my work moving to localities and learning communities and 20 min neighbourhoods. Other things are moving off world to call centres on the moon </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21560#post-375513 Tue, 18 Jun 2024 12:17:14 +0000 Arellcat 375513@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's a Dundee Road in Perth and another in Forfar. Since neither of them as far as I know is Edinburgh, PSOSE is either massively out of its jurisdiction (but correctly reporting a remarkably long ambulance journey)...or it is being typically slack in its engagement on Twitter. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21560#post-375510 Tue, 18 Jun 2024 11:24:00 +0000 ejstubbs 375510@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>For some reason that tweet has been deleted, but they have replaced it with this: <a href="https://x.com/PSOSEdinburgh/status/1803006050657763738" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/PSOSEdinburgh/status/1803006050657763738</a></p> <p>Also reported in EEN: <a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/teenage-girl-in-hospital-after-being-hit-by-e-bike-on-busy-edinburgh-road-4669656" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/teenage-girl-in-hospital-after-being-hit-by-e-bike-on-busy-edinburgh-road-4669656</a></p> <p>Note that both the new tweet and the EEN article refer to Dundee <u>Road</u> - but Google assures me that there is no such thoroughfare in Edinburgh. Such a mistake is par for the course for the EEN, the author of the article probably working from a location nowhere near Edinburgh and never having been here. But you'd expect better of the Polis. Maybe Google is wrong after all... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21560#post-375490 Mon, 17 Jun 2024 18:03:11 +0000 chdot 375490@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Dundee Street is closed between Viewforth and Gibson Terrace due to a collision between a cyclist and a pedestrian.</p> <p>Emergency services are in attendance and people are being urged to avoid the area.</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://x.com/psosedinburgh/status/1802748615003144379?" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/psosedinburgh/status/1802748615003144379?</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21560#post-375489 Mon, 17 Jun 2024 17:46:04 +0000 neddie 375489@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dundee St closed at Fountainpark</p> <p>Anyone know what happened? </p>
