Yesterday morning I counted 8. I have noticed lots more cyclists and sopke to another cyclists yesterday morning about how nice it was to see so many on the road. She said Spring has well and truely sprung. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5677&page=2#post-60798 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:08:31 +0000 Numptie 60798@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Three of us heading up the hill towards Gilmerton this morning.

There are still a few gaps in the racks at work and still a couple of Boardmanses still in the same place they were in last summer.</p> <p>I haven't loafed around MMW in the evening for a while and was pleased by how many cycles went past, even if I was part of a group blocking their way. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5677#post-60748 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 10:25:29 +0000 chdot 60748@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You are being stalked. </p> <p>(OK you're not - you go the other way.)</p> <p>Must be the <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5668#post-60643">Anth cult</a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5677#post-60747 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 10:25:18 +0000 SRD 60747@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>On my way in, I was thinking that i'd seen more (occupied) childseats than ever.
