    'Scotland’s most cycle-friendly city' - sure, with our cold, wet, windy climate and mountainous terrain, it's a real pleasure for anybody not of competition-fitness to travel around on a bicycle. Incidentally, any other organisation would have paid a fortune for such a big advertisement.

    @chdot Unfortunately the article's layout is a bit weird in the Evening News online version. It's much better in the 50p paper version!!

    The original version as submitted is on the spokes website.

    On a separate topic...
    @amir ... Same problem in West Lothian - even worse, in fact!! I only have choice of SNP(2), Lab, Con, NF :( and "Action To Save St.John’s Hospital".

    "Edinburgh SNP

    Website under construction"

    Oh well. Maybe they're just assuming that folk will vote for them anyway? The wee Eck 'halo' effect...

    I got a letter from El Salmondo today asking me to join/donate to the SNP. Er.....thanks, but no thanks.
