If not, then the Bike Works will store it for collection tomorrow. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9904#post-107489 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 21:17:51 +0000 Uberuce 107489@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh, I forgot to say: aye, I'll come along. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9904#post-107308 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 07:32:21 +0000 gembo 107308@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@uberuce, good suggestion tho may be congested with Sunday picnickers, dog walkers, family cycles, walkers etc</p> <p>The B road from kirkliston to Linlithgow is quiet on Sundays, this is where west Lothian Clarions run their time trials on Thursday nights. Should the need to open up the throttle become great. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9904#post-107303 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:12:43 +0000 Uberuce 107303@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If the idea is the get acquainted with the device and your interactions on it, then I'd suggest the NEPN and Cramond for miles of gentle carless testing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9904#post-107302 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:55:50 +0000 Darkerside 107302@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi folks</p> <p>You might vaguely be aware that I'm attempting London-Edinburgh-London in July. You might be less aware that I'm doing it with the assistance of a co-pilot on a Laidback-owned Morpheus tandem (the half recumbent half upright thing)</p> <p>Copilot John normally lurks in Wales, but we're passing nearby on Sunday and thought we'd launch the training with a ride on the machine in question. Something gentle, about two hours in length, starting from Middle Meadow Walk at 1130 on Sunday morning.</p> <p>If you feel like joining us, suggesting routes, or whatever, please do! We'll be the two on the funny looking bike... </p>
