Hello,
in case anyone didn't have a flyer stapled to their bike and is interested - here are some cycling events that the uni is advertising....

Security marking is still happening, then? Might pop along. I thought the polices had dumped that when they amalgamated...

The Uni still advertise Macdonalds as a shop you can get Uni discount at :(
Will definitely pop along for another lock and slapstrap though.

Do you need to be a student/staff for this? I'd like a new lock.....

Aye, you need to have your blue card

@Stickman - I'll see if I can get another one somehow and let you know...
edit - assuming you don't have staff/student card! If you do then ignore that, but the offer extends if anyone else wants a lock. I believe the lock in question is a "Masterlock" D-lock type.

Oh, that Uni ;-)
Meanwhile, at another uni, I have successfully signed up to be a member of a cycle focus group on Tuesday evening next week, at which I will apparently be given £20 and provided with refreshments. Oh, and hopefully I may be able to contribute some valid points towards improving the provision of cycling facilities at Heriot-Watt Uni!

apologies jdanielp - that was remiss (especially as I worked for years at HW)

Last year they wrote down everyone's name and number on a list, so that we couldn't go round all the roadshows and get several...
And they do read here...

oh right thanks for that EddieD (nice to bump into you earlier) - I wasn't suggesting anything underhand, just evidently being naive...

@algo no problem! Just don't let Heriot-Watt's Principal Steve catch you failing to acknowledge his institution.
Interestingly, the cycle focus groups that will be taking place at Heriot-Watt are split into separate sessions for men and women. Not entirely sure why...

"separate sessions for men and women"
Hope there are sessions for 'would like to cycle' too.

@chdot they advertised it by attaching flyers to bicycle seats during the day the other week, and also by sending a message to people subscribed to the university cycling mailing list, encouraging people to apply "regardless of how often they cycle" or words to that effect. I suspect that not many non-cyclists will be aware of it, however, so I may bring up that point at the focus group. Thanks!
