Finally the no-cycling signs were taken down, and cycling signs put up on Portobello Prom. The standard issue ones look great, but the consultation driven "code of conduct" ones are of no use. They are completely unreadable and just server to clutter and confuse!</p> <p><a href="http://talkporty.org/hosted/prom-code-of-conduct.jpg"><img src="http://talkporty.org/hosted/prom-code-of-conduct-small.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8633#post-87160 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:42:13 +0000 crowriver 87160@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh good. That's only taken 8 years.</p> <p>At this rate I'll be drawing my pension by the time we have a connected, segregated network of cycle paths in this city. My kids will be able to enjoy it once they're in their 30s (should they decide to continue cycling). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8633#post-87157 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:21:32 +0000 chdot 87157@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Charlie Wood (@urchaidh)<br /> 09/10/2012 20:06<br /> @CyclingEdin @SpokesLothian 'No Cycling' signs finally removed from #porty prom, replaced with <a href="http://twitpic.com/b2iqu2" rel="nofollow">http://twitpic.com/b2iqu2</a></p> <p>"</p> <p><img src="http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/669361754.jpg?key=15522592&amp;Expires=1349811719&amp;Key-Pair-Id=APKAIYVGSUJFNRFZBBTA&amp;Signature=Q6KlA-qKA3SS7ft5fx24s1g3vG378vxiPhGKXuldfd7YRz0EhUFTDPBS~9jIfiJczP3lIt-IYU8v-nCa2Ev-PB9ao95v0tOH2bmaskNqzFGD6Bz4h5~6gMSKulK2wWpBbSS~8Z1mj3mYWH~VGeNsuQXqcQoo93uR-d79JwNofUU_"> </p>
