Some people really have no consideration for local government and how inconvenient it is for them to have to actually do something about it. Shocking. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2567#post-27273 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 11:45:16 +0000 SRD 27273@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I like the pirates on bikes !! Especially the tandem with trailer (having spent Saturday with tandem and trailer and Sunday making a pirate costume for small person (newspaper hat, tinfoil hook and parrot on shoulder!) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2567#post-27271 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 11:42:45 +0000 Kim 27271@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It is really worrying that a supposedly democratic body should complain of "hijacking" because it didn't get the feed back it wanted from the conciliation process. Whereas, here in Scotland, our democratic bodies know how to deal with these things. They hold conciliations, them simple ignore the results and carry on the way they planned to do in the first place... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2567#post-27267 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 11:16:40 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 27267@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Funny isn't it - set up a system for people to contribute and comment, and then when one group you don't actually want to use it makes some thought out and constructive comments you can just accuse them of 'hijacking' the system.</p> <p>Sheesh.</p> <p>As is pointed out in the piece, if motorists had responded in large numbers would they have been 'hijacking' the system? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2567#post-27259 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 10:46:33 +0000 chdot 27259@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://karlmccracken.sweat365.com/2011/03/20/innocent-cyclists-accused-of-hijacking" rel="nofollow">http://karlmccracken.sweat365.com/2011/03/20/innocent-cyclists-accused-of-hijacking</a> </p>
