And now its Winter he's on his Mountain bike as the road bike doesn't have studs. He regularly rides over the bathgate hills to Linlithgow before riding into the centre of Edin. Thats near on 30 miles each way. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5070#post-54001 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:12:02 +0000 Uberuce 54001@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'Too far away' is a wonderfully compressible concept. Show them DaveC's morning run and they'd be wiping brick dust off with their Andrex. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5070#post-53999 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:28:43 +0000 splitshift 53999@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>and even worse , if i happen to drive a hired vehicle, with the name of the hire company on the number plate,..........every one else will think i have no car of my own,am poor, stupid, a mixture of both and am to be laughed at openly at every oppertunity !<br /> call discriminaty lawyers 4you on 080.........etc ! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5070#post-53897 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:09:26 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 53897@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I love how completely ridiculous this is.</p> <p>As has been pointed out, is a car park therefore discriminatory against non-car owners? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5070#post-53817 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:39:07 +0000 DaveC 53817@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thats bonkers. Sometimes I take the bike in on the train. There is no limit to how farI can bring my bike to work when on a train. Not all places of work are spitting distance from a train station so some workers are going to want to cycle even if it not the whole way. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5070#post-53815 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:27:40 +0000 Nelly 53815@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Going past civil service at broomhouse yesterday, was struck by the full bike racks - full of bikes, plus full of smokers !!!! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5070#post-53810 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:08:55 +0000 Claggy Cog 53810@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>One response to the above which I thought was rather good....</p> <p><em>"aren't car parks discriminatory to people that don't have cars?"</em></p> <p>or</p> <p><em>"I'd like to know which discrimination act states that that is discriminatory - bonkers!" </em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5070#post-53809 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:05:25 +0000 Claggy Cog 53809@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>from British Cycling</p> <p><em><blockquote>A British Cycling Member has been in touch to share his employer’s attitude to provision for cyclists (showers, lockers, parking, etc). When he asked his employer if they could install a simple bike rack outside work, they declined because “it was discriminatory to people who lived too far away and had to drive”... What facilities does your workplace have and what’s your employer’s attitude to cycle commuting? </blockquote></em> </p>
