Personally I'm a bit jaded about it all, but when you see the wonder in a toddler's expressions, then it seems worth it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4878#post-51586 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 14:02:18 +0000 wee folding bike 51586@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Glasgow are too busy feeding public cash into ALEOs before unpleasant material hits the fan after the local elections in May.</p> <p>Last month they passed £105 K to the ALEO which runs the car parks. They did this by having free parking at the weekend. It wasn't ticketed or advertised. I only found out when I arrived at the car park and the barriers were all up. The parking company are due to receive another £750 K from the council. The guy who runs it, and co-incidentally is the husband of a councillor, is expecting a £615,000 golden handshake next year.</p> <p>I'm sure if they could have found a <em>friendly</em> firework supplier they would have spent thousands. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4878#post-51585 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 12:56:28 +0000 Uberuce 51585@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>May your chains not rust nor want of oil,<br /> May your climbs be a trial but never a toil,<br /> May ye not pull a Custard nor Kirst and hae need o' a stookie,<br /> May your saddle be kind to your poor wee bahookie,<br /> May ye ride each day from now till end of December,<br /> May ye browse banter on Citycycling Embra,</p> <p>And whether ye ride recumbent, geared or fixie,<br /> May ye never be cursed by the damned puncture pixie.</p> <p>Happy New G/Year everyone! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4878#post-51578 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 08:09:46 +0000 kaputnik 51578@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>5.5 tonnes.
