I'll think on next time someone mentions anything. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5209#post-56294 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:36:09 +0000 chdot 56294@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>Jon McKay (@MrJonMcKay)<br /> 2/10/12 7:53 AM</p> <p>I did a bit of research on #EdTravCyc this morning: <a href="http://tweetreach.com/reach?q=%23edtravcyc" rel="nofollow">http://tweetreach.com/reach?q=%23edtravcyc</a> An encouraging first week I think.

I've notified @EdinTravel of a few things. LRT, LBP and EdinTravel usually conspire between each other to keep me informed of major road closures, with all three outdoing themselves this morning to tell me there was something severely wrong with Piershill Terrace. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5209#post-55609 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:48:50 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 55609@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not me. After the fracture clinic yesterday Mel was in masses of pain overnight. I got a call just as I arrived at work asking me to take her to A&amp;E (the fracture clinic said to do so <em>immediately</em> if there's any pain in the toes). Turns out the cast they put on yesterday wasn't quite right, so as the foot swelled, which was expected after being moved a lot more than it had been, her toes were slowly being crushed.</p> <p>Really have had virtually no time to sit and take stock since Sunday - I'm done in!</p> <p>Anyway, back to the hashtag - is it just me or have the Innertube tweets and reports on the cyclepaths been a LOT less recently? I reckon the hashtag would be a much better tool than 'blue line has a tree across it' and so on.</p> <p>Must do some promotion as much as I can on Twitter. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5209#post-55608 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:45:05 +0000 Min 55608@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bloody hell what have you done now?? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5209#post-55607 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:44:14 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 55607@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Patience dear boy, I presume the hashtag was only decided on less than 2 hours ago! ;)</p> <p>Was supposed to be at the lunchtime meet till an unexpected extra A&amp;E trip this morning :( (which meant I have to make time back at work if anyone's wondering why such a morning trip would impact on lunchtime).</p> <p>This is a grand idea - tis a column I'll add to the Twitter app on my phone. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5209#post-55605 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:30:50 +0000 DaveC 55605@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeh drawing a blank on that one now.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5209#post-55604 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:29:34 +0000 DaveC 55604@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes I follow edintravel.
