Glad you were solo at time?<br /> Could fit s/h studded tyre on back although some ice is beyond that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5073#post-53903 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:19:12 +0000 kaputnik 53903@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lots of ice evident everywhere, I stayed on main road all the way to Gogar roundabout. Even frozen in the gutters in places so ztayed very primary. Colleage in changing rooms had come off on side streets near wester coates. Bruised and sore but largely pride dented as he had taken his spiky tyres off at weekend. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5073#post-53901 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:16:33 +0000 SRD 53901@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can I come borrow your bathtub?

I was turning onto the links path from Brunstfield Place, guy at the crossing shouted at me, I turned, braked and SPLAT. As one of the many kind people who came to my assistance said, I probably would've come off anyway...</p> <p>I'm very sore now, but think I'm fairly intact. May go get my ribs checked, but right now knee is sorest. Bike lost rear chain, and I walked it by tbw, who kindly put it back for me. </p> <p>Shouted at lots of people to warn them including - I think - wingpig? Saw too many people cycling full tilt, including one with a baby in backpack. NOT sensible at all. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5073#post-53886 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:21:02 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 53886@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's a LOT of ice about. I stuck to the main roads, which seem fine, certainly from my direction. The pavements looked awful in places. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5073#post-53883 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:13:31 +0000 Morningsider 53883@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Please avoid the cycle path through Bruntsfield Links. Sheet back ice, particularly near the Bruntsfield end. I saw two cyclists come off in 30 seconds. Also saw someone come off by Dynamic Earth - although they were on the pavement. </p>
