Kind of up and down just now but I'll get back out on the bike soon and I'm sure that'll help.<br /> Promise to stop depressing everyone soon! (But if you have parents still around then go visit them this weekend and enjoy yourselves!)</p> <p>Anyway, when's the next caffeine and cinnamon fest?<br /> I may have a be-spiked LHT by then, with extra Cherry bomb brightness and still an airzound for the terminally unobservant, unstoppability in steel lol ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4207&page=4#post-44599 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 17:03:28 +0000 Min 44599@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Really sorry to hear that Smudge, my sympathies. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4207&page=4#post-44592 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 16:00:05 +0000 kaputnik 44592@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Very sorry to hear that Smudge.

Though to be fair I would have preferred anywhere else except where I was :-( got called into the hosp 0530 that morning as my dad's condition had worsened and there was no more hope.<br /> Terrible end to a crap week. Devastated.</p> <p>Next time I'll be there... almost certainly! :-/ </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4207&page=4#post-44584 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 13:49:47 +0000 kaputnik 44584@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There are policepersons who cycle (I was riding with one this morning). There are police cyclists. I think what was nice was that PCQ was a police cyclist who cycles. If that makes sense. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4207&page=4#post-44578 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 11:53:22 +0000 chdot 44578@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Think it was useful having PCQ there.</p> <p>I think it's clear <em>he</em> wants to see more 'education' of cyclists, motorists and fellow policepersons. A programme of carrots - with sticks when it doesn't work.</p> <p>I'm sure most people on here would welcome that, but...</p> <p>It's not all down to the police.</p> <p>They can't really be expected to tell drivers off for being in ASL boxes (for instance) if CEC can't be bothered to re-paint them when they fade - or (more often) get worn away to invisibility! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4207&page=4#post-44552 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 19:06:50 +0000 gembo 44552@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My back in one pic and my bike in another - quite pleasing. Good chat but £2.60 for a cappucino is outwith the parameters.

I've sufficiently de-paranoided myself now to not be already heading back there. A pity I can't access the security camera footage from the Nicolson Sq.

Not that this will stop me steaming home as soon as official lunchtime starts to check. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4207&page=4#post-44490 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 10:44:37 +0000 SRD 44490@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>d'you want me to go have a look? where did you park? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4207&page=4#post-44489 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 10:43:21 +0000 Min 44489@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I didn't see you arrive either I'm afraid :-(.

I'm pretty sure I must have forgotten to put it on before I left the house in my rush to leave (don't remember taking it off the peg nor tethering it to my waist) but am nonetheless worrying I might have left it on the grass next to where I parked. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4207&page=3#post-44483 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 10:35:16 +0000 Min 44483@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hahahaha, good job there were no horses there or we'd definately have frightened them!
