I also find myself walking on the cycle half of Middle Meadow Walk, then remembering that as a pedestrian I probably have a legal right to do so, then deciding to play safe after all.</p> <p>YKWYACW while driving:</p> <p>* You're constantly frustrated because you know if you'd cycled you could use the bus lane to whizz past the stupid traffic.<br /> * You have to stop and mentally work out a route through town that doesn't use Middle Meadow Walk and all the bollarded side streets, and then realise you also need to find somewhere to park.<br /> * You wonder how on earth anyone manages to drive from A to B with all the restrictions. </p> miggy_magic on "You know when you're a cyclist when..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3563#post-37380 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 12:56:52 +0000 miggy_magic 37380@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I knew I was a cyclist when....
