Looks like 26th
Plan for elsewhere(?)
Outdoors?
Canal?
If fine?
Of course the best thing about PY is the table -

Went for a recce to HoneyComb earlier:
- lots of bike parking.
- nice part of the World.
- nice, shiny interior.
- tables to fit 10 ok.Drinks menu below - similar pricing to NY.

I shall swing by not-PY. Mind you, what are we coming to when artisan coffee is almost cheaper than fruit juice?
Do they do decaf coffee? I've pretty much stopped drinking caffeine.

"Do they do decaf coffee? I've pretty much stopped drinking caffeine"
Ditto. I've not found anywhere, including France, that doesn't do decent decaff these days.

NOT, so -
(Zoom in, the blue squares are bike parking.)

"Normally from 7.30 to 8.30 (Morning) for most folk."
Some people hang on past nine.
(That's PY, but similar should apply.)

Are we going to Bruntsfield or the barge? It's to be a scorcher of a morning.

Gutted. Lovely morning to enjoy the sun. Had a banging ride down to the station. Enjoy all.

Nice place. You'll find it by the Elephant Bikes outside. Sorry for short stop! Made my train which is good.

Me too.
(Different one.)

Damn. Not been to one for ages, was cycling thru Bruntsfield at the right time too!
Must diarise next one.
P.s. what a stonking day.

Quite strange to think that this might be the single bike/model owned by more CCEers than any other!

Last time I saw that primrose Elephant Bike, it had no front basket. I'm impressed that its owner goes to the trouble of adding and removing the basket. I can't be bothered, and just put up with the extra weight.

Met Arellcat on Bruntsfield riding an Elephant Bike on way back from not PY. Had a wee shot. Quite nice - but lowest gear seemed bit high. 39" according to sources.
I would say the Circe Helios was a common bike for forumers.

True.

The owner was still doing shakedown runs at that time, and has quickly found that having the basket is much more useful than not having it. The owner now can't be bothered to remove it, and
perversely enjoysputs up with the extra weight.Posted 6 years ago #
