I'm sure the foxes and crows love that public amenity! That was also when bin men could hitch a ride on the back of the lorry between streets.</p> <p>Wheelie bins weren't a thing except at school, and those were huge round dumpster things you could climb inside.</p> <p>I suppose the obstruction is going to be for either pedestrians or motors, maybe even including the bin lorry itself on narrow streets. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=22016#post-386201 Thu, 22 Oct 2026 12:17:27 +0000 SF 386201@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Talking of obstructions, I always wonder why everyone puts their bins out on the pavement thus creating multiple obstacles for everyone passing by on foot. I put mine out with the wheels in the gutter and the flat edge on the kerb but regularly find it moved back onto the pavement before it's emptied.</p> <p>They're scattered round way worse of course once the bin motor's been through... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=22016#post-386198 Thu, 22 Oct 2026 10:03:43 +0000 chdot 386198@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>If you're a cyclist, you can make a big difference to blind and partially sighted people. Ride on the road or cycle path. Park out of the way. That's all it takes for Ken to get where he's going, confidently and independently.
