I always say hello when I realise it's you though. And if I wasn't going so fast, I'd stop, but I don't want to do a fast brake in the greasy tunnel. I always stop if we cross in evenings, although that hasn't happened for months. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=982#post-8990 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:03:27 +0000 spytfyre 8990@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>On the roseburn granton trinity path we could re-arrange all the neat little piles of broken glass... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=982#post-8985 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 11:04:03 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 8985@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll re-arrange the snails into a message for you tomorrow... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=982#post-8983 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:56:42 +0000 Min 8983@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh a mixture of words and arrows and stuff. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=982#post-8981 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:54:01 +0000 chdot 8981@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"used to leave messages for each other in grit piles at the side of the road"</p> <p>Words or secret signs? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=982#post-8980 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:51:43 +0000 Min 8980@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have no sympathy with you Anth since you are frequently trying to confuse me by riding a variety of different bikes! I usually manage to spot you in the distance anyway. I think it because you about 8'6 and therefore not hard to spot. ;-)</p> <p>Can't claim to have ever recognised anyone by their tyre tracks. Though a friend and I used to leave messages for each other in grit piles at the side of the road so we knew if the other had already ridden past. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=982#post-8979 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:20:05 +0000 chdot 8979@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"I need to get a life..."</p> <p>Why?</p> <p>Riding a bike(s) should be enough... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=982#post-8978 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:19:12 +0000 chdot 8978@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"it was possible to identify where your friends had been because of their tyre tracks "</p> <p>Could you get a Scout badge for it? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=982#post-8977 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:17:41 +0000 Arellcat 8977@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Once upon a time, in about 1989 I think, it was possible to identify where your friends had been because of their tyre tracks through that patch of mud near your house. Tioga Farmer John? That'd be Rob. Specialized Ground Control? One of the yellow Tufftraxes. Mud Dawg? Harry. Farmer John's Nephew? Probably Tweet. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=982#post-8975 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 09:58:32 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 8975@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Now it's normal for me to spot people by recognising their bike first. Or sometimes (as is the case with Kirst's panniers - though she often blanks me in a steely stare of concentration) byy various accessories on the bike.</p> <p>This morning I spotted, and reconised, Min by her riding style as she silhouettedly entered the top of the Innocent Tunnel while I was halfway up.</p> <p>I think, maybe, I need to get a life... </p>
