    @CyclingEdin So Royalty visit the RIE & so we’re not allowed to park bikes. Empty cycle bays are a good look?

  2. I presume no cars will be allowed to park either? I mean, it's not as if anyone has ever set off a car bomb whereas you hear about those bike bombs all the time....

    @CyclingEdin This is the scene the RIE wanted to show her highness. Are bikes dangerous or ugly? Car parks were open.

    Bicycle bombs: popular (if that's the right word) in Vietnam, back in the day.

    That's only because they couldn't afford cars or road tax etc....

    I repeat, the car park for the Maternity bit was NOT open. All the other car parks were, as were all the other bike racks.

    Sorry, yes, my point was that, at that time, I thought cars had been allowed to park there and you also get car bombs (not that there were not or ever had been bike bombs). All rendered pointless anyway because, as Min has pointed out, cars weren't actually allowed to park either.

    Nobody considered those cunning U-lock bombs or Sheffield stand bombs then? Tsk, tsk. Very lax, MI5. ;-)

    Do I take it then that there's a group of us that work at RIE? I'm new here, you see, so it wouldn't be immediately obvious to me...
