Asked if they needed help (bloke said no, but women said yes). They were trying to get to Balerno and, of course, the innertube was basically useless at telling them where to actually go. Recommended that they get a Spokes map! </p> kaputnik on ""I wouldn't cycle in Edinburgh city centre if you paid me"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2847#post-30313 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 20:46:52 +0000 kaputnik 30313@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>He must have taken the innertube map a bit too literally </p> wingpig on ""I wouldn't cycle in Edinburgh city centre if you paid me"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2847#post-30312 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 20:44:17 +0000 wingpig 30312@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Let's offer to take him out for a wee trundle sometime... </p> Min on ""I wouldn't cycle in Edinburgh city centre if you paid me"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2847#post-30310 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 20:30:13 +0000 Min 30310@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I would.
