It takes very little to cause congestion in Edinburgh - a bin lorry here, a vehicle trying to turn right there because there are way too many cars on the road but we know that and can't quite convince enough people to give it up, but we can still try. The Bike Station came to my work, serviced my bike for nowt, gave us all bus tickets, cycle maps based on the Spokes One, cycle computers - the lot. Thanks to Sarah and James from the Bike Station, much appreciated. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2662#post-28332 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 09:50:56 +0000 Min 28332@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Don't know if it is related but the roads all seemed very congested this morning. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2662#post-28330 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 09:31:13 +0000 chdot 28330@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> edintravel: Holyrood Park - the Low Road (St Leonards to Duddingston Village) is now closed for utility works till 6pm this Sunday.<br /> "</p> <p>Original Tweet: <a href="http://twitter.com/edintravel/status/53728916040462336" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/edintravel/status/53728916040462336</a> </p>
