Wendy"</p> <p>I think they are genuinely keen to make changes to make the place more family friendly. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3851&page=2#post-40566 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:41:49 +0000 Arellcat 40566@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>...and Dave Legrys - 126mph roller record</em></p> <p>I think that clip really ought to be accompanied by the appropriate music.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBQalkIeE7s" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBQalkIeE7s</a></p> <p>I was in the vicinity of PY this morning after staggering off the Caley Sleeper with substantially less than seven hours' sleep, but went along Princes St and up Lothian Rd in preference to the slog up Market St. An evening meetup would be good. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3851&page=2#post-40562 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 16:19:58 +0000 Kim 40562@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Evening meeting would be good, preferably somewhere I can walk to as I am not allowed back on the bike till the end of October. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3851&page=2#post-40559 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 15:13:19 +0000 Morningsider 40559@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>SRD - good effort. The reply from PY confirms my view that they don't want to encourage people with young children (not cool enough I suspect). A commercial baby changing unit costs about £200 and the stackable IKEA high chairs are £10.99 each (table an extra £4).</p> <p>The argument that there is no room is laughable, a pile of high chairs takes up the room of a single chair. The excellent Rocket cafe at Churchill is about a fifth the size of PY and they manage to both bake their own cakes and have high chairs. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3851&page=2#post-40553 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 14:08:28 +0000 spytefear 40553@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Had the school run to do instead.

We really would need more space . .</p> <p>The fact that we have decided to bake everything on site has taken away quite a bit of space, compared to if we would have had things delivered. Like most places.</p> <p>.... one of our bakers has very kindly been storing a lot of stuff .... that we can´t find space for at PY. So there aren´t really any corners available. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3851&page=2#post-40539 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 11:25:25 +0000 kaputnik 40539@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>perhaps despite my assertions to the contrary, I don't like ruining my hairdo after all?</em></p> <p>we shouldn't let you design cycling infrastructure then!</p> <p>Thank you to anth and SRD for presents (team Citycycling bowling shirt in black and orange and orange and Old Pultney marmalade, if you missed them).</p> <p>Sorry for letting the side down and being in Lycra shorts and cycling shirt...

As I had come by bike, I had no buggy to put him in. I now realise that the reason PY is always so full of buggies is because parents keep their children in them, owing to the lack of high chairs. I was also disappointed that the toilet had no facilities for changing babies, when there is clearly room for a fold-down changing table. </p> <p>For a shop that does so much business from young families, I am really surprised that so little effort is made to accommodate them. Surely a stack of 2 or 3 high chairs would fit easily in a corner? </p> <p>I hope you will consider and rethink this policy. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3851&page=2#post-40529 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 10:51:02 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 40529@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, I think another attempted evening meet-up should be in order.... Or a weekend ride. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3851&page=2#post-40528 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 10:49:53 +0000 Morningsider 40528@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Morning all - nice to chat with SRD (+ mini SRD), Roibeard and Tarmac Jockey (generally agreed to be a great name). Many thanks to SRD for the loan of a lock. Hope to chat with the rest of you at some point - perhaps a less rushed meet-up is in order? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3851&page=2#post-40527 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 10:44:29 +0000 amir 40527@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"mmm, cinnabunman."</p> <p>Sounds like last night's Simpsons episode! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3851&page=2#post-40526 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 10:38:08 +0000 Stepdoh 40526@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So who was all there? I was gabbing loudly on the periphery as usual (sorry, loud and boorish, I know, I blame the cinnamon/caffeine interaction).</p> <p>PS, glad for that mm gap between the cotics, what with the whole matter/anti-matter/stream crossing/etc. We could have had a huge marshmallow man on our hands, or even a huge cinnabun man. </p> <p>mmm, cinnabunman. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3851&page=2#post-40525 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 10:33:30 +0000 Min 40525@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes! I have just had my hair done and a buff squashes it... perhaps despite my assertions to the contrary, I don't like ruining my hairdo after all? It's only once every couple of months though.
