I rode from Granton Rd (bike shop) to Queensferry this evening, first time on my bike for ages (due to reasons beyond my control) and it was just lovely. I'd like to say thank you to all the other cyclists and pedestrians, dog walkers etc who said hello or just smiled back - seriously, those two chihuahuas were SO CUTE! - as I bowled along, surfing on endorphins. Even the few motorists I encountered were paragons of patience.
It was really, really lovely.
