You can live in London and dodge using the subway if you want to. It's fairly pleasant to cycle around and there are lots of interesting buildings to look at while you do. Not that I'm planning to move back anytime soon but It's nice to visit with your bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9765#post-105598 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 17:34:09 +0000 kaputnik 105598@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX9h558Tz1E" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX9h558Tz1E</a><br /> Princes Street without trams! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9765#post-105596 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 16:51:12 +0000 kaputnik 105596@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was that Tennent's advert filmed by the Chewin' the Fat cast?</p> <p>Showing is age with steelworkers and coalminers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9765#post-105595 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 16:49:21 +0000 kaputnik 105595@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Pete Wishart was Runrig, rather than Big Country.</em></p> <p>Oh he and his brother Alan were definitely in Big Country to begin with. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9765#post-105592 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 15:36:55 +0000 PS 105592@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Pete Wishart was Runrig, rather than Big Country.</p> <p>At least there are no hoverbikes in the future.
