Still in the early morning post-birthday fugue, I almost followed him in full commuter sheeple mode, until I realised just how teensy the gap was, and how many assumptions he was making. Actually, I can discard all of them except 'everyone can see me doing this' which I could see was almost certainly untrue. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5825#post-62499 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 09:57:55 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 62499@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I know, I'm not really here, I'm a figment of your imagination - at least I will be today, finishing up at lunchtime before heading to Ullapool, with all the attendant stress that brings (the havnig to finish work, not the drive north, that's a doddle).</p> <p>Anyway, heading in this morning, waiting in the ASL on Queen Street beside the turning up to St Andrew Square. Left filter lane is going, buses turning, cyclist (upright bike with basket, very Copenhagenised save for basket) stuck behind as the buses come to a halt just after turning into the junction because of the traffic ahead.</p> <p>Rather than filtering on the right, and because she can't filter on the leftdue to a slight pavement build-out, she dismounts onto the pavement. Fine, she's going to walk past. Well.. Half right... With the bus indicating left, and a bus stop ahead, she puts the bike back into the road only halfway along the length of the bus, into a little crushy space of about a foot, and tries to remount. It's difficult because the gap is so small. And then the bus starts moving. Fortunately discretion plays a part and she waits for it to pull away (scowling!!!) before following up the hill and passing as it goes to the bus stop...</p> <p>If you're reading. Please. You're going to end up squashed. That was quite frankly the most insane bit of filtering I've seen in Edinburgh (if the above doesn't quite get the insanity of it across, think of a box of frogs. Sitting on top of a blancmange made of voles. Riding on the back of a tiger wearing a David Milliband mask. That's roughly half as insane as what this cyclist was trying to do). </p>
