That was fun!
Thank you, and congratulations, to everyone involved in organising!
I enjoyed overhearing someone at the start line say that PoP makes them realise that they're not actually mad.

Saw people going out and on way back. Massive achievement and kudos to all those that helped and went. Typically our customers arrived over this period so even with Joe and Irene at shop I couldn't sneak off. Nice to see @arellcat @srd and Mr SRD along with many excited families heading to start.

Was lovely to see many stalwarts of the Evil Cycling Lobby today, some of whom I've not seen for years.
As ever, I was struck by how wonderful the bicycle is when you see it moving through a city in large numbers.
- Thousands of people assembled on the Meadows without generating any pollution, parking problems or queues of coaches.
- They moved down the Parliament without conflict with people on foot and without spoiling the atmosphere of the Royal Mile. Certainly in the area I was in, people on foot would scoot across in the gaps between riders. We could see each other and make eye contact and it was a very human interaction
- Thousands of people then melted away again from the Parliament without any fuss
Aren't bikes brilliant.
Well done @bakky

Spotted many CCEers today, including wingpig, Greenroofer, SRD and MrSRD, DaveC, urchaidh, steveo, jdanielp, gembo, frenchy, and of course bakky, ADRobertson and chdot. Others too like Duck Marshall and Andy Catlin, but I can't remember who else. Laid Back said he too busy selling bikes to come to PoP, but I think it's because his t-shirt hadn't arrived in time. ;)
I had a long chat with DaveC, had a nice catch up with Stella aka @CycleSouthEdin, and also with Pete Clinch from Dundee. Laid Back and I rode with Pete back in 2005 when we did our Rannoch trip, but I only recognised him by his cap since he was on a Moulton today and not his recumbent.
