If hills can be avoided by going the long way round this also cuts down on the sweat. Obviously we follow highway code as much as cars but we do not need to stick to car routes. Assuming we have time and ain't running late.</p> <p>Disaster for me at work we are being evicted and our new building is 5 miles nearer home, I am considering cycling to Ratho first then heading for the new building - kind of hinging on (that could be a hinge or a hang, never spotted this before), anyway hinging on the underpass of the bypass at Edn Pk Station. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=399#post-3072 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:01:55 +0000 LaidBack 3072@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>"I don't believe a bicycle is a transportation device.

Neither is a motorbike mind you. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=399#post-3068 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:31:28 +0000 chdot 3068@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://dc.streetsblog.org/2010/02/22/a-bicycle-is-not-a-transportation-device" rel="nofollow">http://dc.streetsblog.org/2010/02/22/a-bicycle-is-not-a-transportation-device</a> </p>
