About 15 folk also got seen to by Dr Bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=646#post-5898 Wed, 21 Apr 2010 10:14:36 +0000 LaidBack 5898@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just back from a most excellent 'al-fresco' <em>WeLoveLeith </em>breakfast. </p> <p>Met <strong>Anth</strong> heading other way. </p> <p>Event was pretty well attended with lots of brakes being hauled on at the shout of <strong>'bacon roll!'</strong> or 'Vegetarian Equivalent'.

One of the joys of cycle commuting is that you are then ALLOWED to eat that sort of stuff without feeling guilty and without it having as much effect.
