Gigantic crane parked next to the towpath on my way out of town just before it goes under the Calder Road. 'Men at work signs' on the towpath. Couldn't work out why until I noticed the tops of four wheels poking out of the water.
A quadbike was upside down in the canal: someone had driven/pushed it straight off the quay and into the water. The crane was truly gigantic, and really a bit OTT for a small quad bike.
If this had been a car I wouldn't have mentioned it in case there was someone inside, but I'm assuming that if a quadbike ends up in the water the driver (if there was one) will escape with a dunking and nothing worse.

@SRD I’ve also “Bumble Bee’d” my old hack bike. Less to do with being seen than making it less tempting to steal…
It wasn’t me though and I don’t have ears on my h*****t.
I have the reflective tape to do my ‘fast’ bike but I just can’t bring myself to put it on…

Dutch (in every sense of the word) Postcode Lottery Bicycle at the back of the Uni Main Library. Apparently they were a prize?
Supplied by the Bike Station, in competition with the Paperbike!

Is that the green and orange and white bike? Been admiring it for a few weeks now. Sometimes chained to our railings.

@Baldcyclist - that will be the one...
Don't recall the porteur rack, but the peculiar split frame, frame lock, etc were all present.

Spotted a very dapper Gembo in the shop formerly known as the Bike Chain. He eventually spotted me or he may have just been humouring that weirdo who was staring at him.

I grabbed a snap of that rather natty Dutch bike outside old college a few days back - and the saw it and the owner heading down Lothian Road later the same day.
Certainly very smart!

I spotted this at the Pear Tree on Tuesday night.

"I spotted this at the Pear Tree on Tuesday night."
Careful with the spotting/talking to the owner -
the Bike Station has sold more than one.

Bike Station eh, hmm, may be a solution to my impending financial woes...

I know that Dutch bike's owner. I'll tell her you were admiring it next time she's picking up her kid.

@insto, yes I do believe I nodded at your good self this very lunchtime . Hopefully securing my finance manager an EBC courier bike with full mudguards but no discs (despite the salespersons suggestions) for a very reasonable price. I shouted Kaps at the kaputnik at breakfast time, well just after his and about an hour after mine

Did I see Gembo on the canal maybe 4.45ish? someone ikn yellow glasses anyway.

Not on canal tonight, just blasted up the road with north easterly behind me. Took the orange specs off near Shandon. Maybe you saw me bombing thru lights at green at Taste good Chinese restaurant. (They ain't lying). Was trying to catch older skinny cyclist to ask why he kept jumping red lights when the north easterly was blowing us along at a fair pelt and you could start in a high gear at lights etc, but he must have turned off, must have as i would have caught him With the leveller of the wind assist, kind of balancing out his RLJing behaviour

@Greenroofer. I must have been along the canal a bit later than you, as it was preparing to hoist a barge into the canal.. I don't think it was there specially for the quad bike

Ran along Gogarmuir Road, heading west, this morning @ 09:25, spotted a family heading east where there were 2 kids being transported in what I can only assume was a bakfiet. First time I've ever seen one in real life.

Spotted a black Helios Duo on the Blackhall path this morning. Male rider and child on the rear.

A recumbent tricycle coming into our car park at the office in Livingston. Sadly the rider went to the other cycle rack, so I didn't get to see it close up.

Was the pilot a great big smiley lad with knackered ears? If so, that's one of LBB's customers. Even if not it's still highly likely.

I saw this nice, umm, "thing" on the way home. Very cool.

Woohoo, my first "spot"!
Now just need to get spotted and that'll be a CCE bingo.Posted 10 years ago # -
"Thing"?! That's a hyper-efficient velomobile that's powered by a compact biomass reactor. :)

'Compact'!? I think you're taller* than I am! :D
* in a beautiful way of course :D

+1 for another Arellcat velomobile spot. Last night at Haymarket. Did wave as I was coming round from the bottom of Morrison Street up Dalry Road, but don't think you saw me.
The mobile did look pretty beautiful with the lighting on at the front.

Raleigh Esquire roadster in Bike Station for £200. Feeling virtuous about giving mine to a pal in exchange for three pints.

Another incredible feat of balancing last night (I am always so impressed with balance as I grip my handlebars like it's life and death).
Just popped out of the Telfer subway tunnel on bike in dark with driving, pissing, drenching downpour to spot a bloke on a road bike, cycling with another road bike alongside him in one hand and a massive package on his back.
Duly impressed. Wondered how he'd manage the turns and graduated steps getting up to Fountainbridge!
