I took a plod in on a new 29r we got in from Surly. it was most agreeable. I was reminded that singlespeeding has it's own unique pace! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4892#post-51766 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:55:44 +0000 steveo 51766@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Commute was mobbed today with the approach road being shut. Took the geared bike for what is shaping up to be another fun return journey. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4892#post-51762 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:46:44 +0000 wingpig 51762@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was in yesterday too, when any leg-deficiencies from recent reduced use were unable to be separated from the other impediments to high speed. I was slower than normal today but was on the spare bike with the giant airbrake pannier in place for shopping on the way home.<br /> More cars today, though not as many as normal. I saw one other cyclist yesterday (indicating to pull out around a stray bin on the eastbound Cowgate) and only three today, two also heading west along the Cowgate and one being harassed by a car on Horse Wynd. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4892#post-51757 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:38:11 +0000 Stepdoh 51757@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Did the nursery run on very un-fresh legs. Was fun ducking under the tree on the WoL path with Rosie on the back.</p> <p>Rest of the way was a bit of a slog into the wind. Amazingly quiet though. Tailwind should get me home fastly! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4892#post-51742 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:33:40 +0000 amir 51742@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It is amazingly tough going. Not sure whether it's due to the wind, the extra weight or the lack of practice. The usual 7am start also felt very very early today. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4892#post-51740 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 10:26:10 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 51740@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ditto. Though my legs might disagree on the 'pleasant' aspect after almost a week off the bike... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4892#post-51735 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 09:30:35 +0000 amir 51735@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It was very quiet this morning, quite pleasant. </p>
