Might even consider doing one myself in the future!" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6976#post-73393 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 17:33:15 +0000 cb 73393@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From your Flickr page:</p> <p>"This photo was taken on June 4, 2013"</p> <p>Front panniers handy on small wheeled bikes too.
