Even people I don't know will ask how my bike is. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=415#post-3221 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:58:28 +0000 gembo 3221@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A kid in my eldest daughter's class thought I kept my Marmite/Teacakes tops on at work, perish the thought, I have a change of clothes hanging up [wonder if there'll be room for such niceties at our new office - we have had two weeks notice we have to move AND it is 5 miles closer but CH has supplied the link for completing a loop via Ratho should I notice the lack of fitness]. Hi viz/retention jerseys get my vote [ah except I did give a certain habnd signal to a guy in a white van the other week, just for a laugh, he was going along tooting at all cyclists then remebered I was wearing quite a distinctive top.</p> <p>Balerno High School bike sheds - 7 out of 14 berths occupied. Beats 5/75 for Tynie. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=415#post-3217 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:15:01 +0000 wee folding bike 3217@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My kid's friends thought I was a re-cyclist. </p> <p>I suppose it's good that they had heard of recycling. Anytime I get the chance I cycle over to their school at the end of day to pick them up and be seen as a grown up on a bike. I'm fairly easy to spot around town anyway. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=415#post-3215 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 12:04:30 +0000 gembo 3215@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice cartoon always good to have as Rabbie said </p> <p>'the power the giftie gie us<br /> to see ourselves as others see us'</p> <p>Some of the stuff we debate (helmets, road position, hi-viz, angry man from Fife etc.) can be taken to very reasonable people and not produce the answers you might expect.</p> <p>For example, did I mention that some sociologists I know think that cyclists filming their route is contributing to surveillance culture. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=415#post-3171 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 10:38:33 +0000 spytfyre 3171@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hey - I resent that...
