At home stuff just goes down the back of the sofa...</p> <p>I always secure stuff but yesterday I ended up with a few extra test rides and must have broken my own golden rule. Weren't my main keys but important enough.</p> <p><em>Of course other reason I got keys back was that I stopped at red lights so that car could catch me... another advantage of cycling legally!</em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3271#post-34303 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 10:31:40 +0000 chdot 34303@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"whose daddy"</p> <p>Sexist (?)</p> <p>SRD slipping? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3271#post-34300 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 10:27:58 +0000 SRD 34300@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Mini driver = female UG student whose daddy has too much money? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3271#post-34295 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 10:17:18 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 34295@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Mini driver.

All of a sudden a girl comes jogging across and hands me the missing keys....!</p> <p><em>"You've not idea how much trouble you've saved me."<br /> </em> - was so relieved.</p> <p>At first I thought she was out for a jog but then saw her get into a Mini parked beside Eric Liddell Centre as i continued towards Morningside. So seems she was tailing me and maybe expected me to go straight on but spotted me with 'invisible bike'.</p> <p>Anyway much trouble was averted. </p> <p>Just shows you... thank you once again. Best thing since reading about the swimming cat in paper yesterday!<br /> <a href="http://news.scotsman.com/uk/Paralysed-cat-learns-to-walk.6790869.jp">Cat takes hydro-therapy</a></p> <p><em>I notice that there are two comments to this story one removed and one anti-cat. So normal moronic comments.....!</em> </p>
