Never mind the potholed roads elsewhere, or the cuts in services for oldies and the borough's disaffected, riot-prone yoof: £725 a yard is a small price to pay for a few minutes of Olympic Stardust!</p> <p>" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7340#post-76183 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:59:45 +0000 chdot 76183@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/7453785970/in/photostream"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8001/7453785970_f88aa739ee.jpg"></a> </p>
