Very near miss at terrible junction for cars to get out at kinsnowe near the golf course. Unusually I had the old codger in my line of sight indeed I was looking straight at him and he at me and still he drove right at me. I was not as magnanimous as meep meep and I infringed both rules of this forum.</p> <p>On lost garments there is a lovely wee crocheted baby pixiehat on a fence post on the maiden's cleugh path to glencorse. I am sad for the baby and parents who have lost it </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6416#post-69071 Sat, 05 May 2012 13:19:52 +0000 LaidBack 69071@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Glad to hear you're back on road... Airzound is good. Dutch guy in Scotsman today with something louder...

And a long blast will have them on the brakes and looking for an HGV :o)</p> <p>Glad to hear you're back on the bike! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6416#post-69060 Sat, 05 May 2012 12:45:32 +0000 MeepMeep 69060@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks, Pocopiglet! Took it easy and thankfully not too painful so providing I don't tweak the ligament that was damaged and make sure my form is spot on, I'll be good for commuting next week.</p> <p>Repairs to my bike were going to cost more than I paid for it so I got exactly a brand new version of the same model. Insurance stuff is progressing well too so bike, helmet and jacket replacements should be covered with no issue, and I also got my loss of earnings on Monday covered. No trouble with liability admission and the woman was still very upset on Thursday when I contacted her.</p> <p>Still a little nervy about cars approaching junctions quicker than necessary and those that edge forward as I'm riding towards them but far too stubborn to let that stop me getting back on my bike! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6416#post-69058 Sat, 05 May 2012 11:19:15 +0000 Pocopiglet 69058@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well done, MeepMeep! Out and about on two wheels already. How are the injuries healing? What's the new steed then? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6416#post-69057 Sat, 05 May 2012 10:40:50 +0000 MeepMeep 69057@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It wasn't there when I cycled past last night - your advertising obviously did the trick, Kaputnik! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6416#post-69004 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:32:35 +0000 kaputnik 69004@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>there's a maukit black beanie hat on the Broomhouse path opposite Saughton House if anyone wants it... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6416#post-69001 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:23:58 +0000 recombodna 69001@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>woo hoo! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6416#post-69000 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:16:12 +0000 crowriver 69000@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got them!
