On our way back from PY! let us know if you want a shot.
I suspect I looked terrified; traffic seemed worse than usual because of the roadworks snd i was regretting having edged out rather than waiting for advance green arrow.

I spotted a couple of guys on Princes Street at about 16:20, just before the junction with Frederick St. No idea who they were, but they were taking a good look at me. Don't know if it was because they thought they recognised me or whether it was Fingal's rather splended rear light cluster attracting their attention.

@SRD - ooh thanks, might take you up on that offer, young Jim will love it. Maybe in the summer though as he's only ever been on his balance bike.

A present from Bicyclelegal tucked through the rack of my bike in Waverley Station. Hope you admired my striking guards when you were flyering!

Tall-looking, spindly-trousered bloke on a (blue?) folder who looked like he'd either jumped or overshot the lights at the east end of Shandwick Place who teetered eastwards onto Princes Street when the north-south traffic stopped and then performed a U-turn before heading down Lothian Road. Looked like he was looking for something and didn't mind getting run over in order to find it.

I have read many of these 'Spots' and still don't understand how anyone can recognise each other, except those on atypical rides.
However,I'll try this. Anyone here - ride a Marin, use a purple Karrimor Pannier and wear where's Wally socks?Posted 13 years ago # -

Where wear's whatnow?
Arrelcat heading up Marchmont Crescent. Of course I couldn't see the bike but I did hear the pleasant whir of chain and sprockets and saw the fluo-tent-canopy-streamline-thingummer on the back (proper name?)

apologies for double post
it was meant to say - wears 'Where's Wally?' socks, ie the sort of socks Wally in 'Where's Wally?' might wear.
Not sure that is much clearer.Posted 13 years ago # -
thought i was getting spotted tonight, big guy was having a very good look at my bike at morrisons tonight, he smiled sheepishy and walked off as I approached.

Kaputnik, yes that was me going very slowly! Were you on bike or foot? I'd just been to the Gyle after work and was running out of steam, plus my knee was complaining again. The contraption on the back of my bike is called a Tailsok. :)

I was undercover, wearing nothing yellow and on foot heading towards the co-op

Wished I'd had a camera handy as I spotted some marvellous cycling chic this morning on Morrison Street - Ridgeback step-through shopping bike, 30-50something lady, knee-high leather boots with 2 inch heels, smart pink tweedy skirt / jacket combo, leather gloves and an enormous fur puff hat.
Put the prince of lycra to shame when he pulled up alongside.

kptnk they've got all sorts in museums these days - Laidback can tell us the story of this particular trike, I'm sure it is a legend in rucumbisting circles!Arellcat can tell you more. Just supplied seatpads for two - one in Aberdeen and Arellcat's one in Edinburgh.
The first edition of LaidBack Cyclist has the whole story... New BHPC mag and nothing to do with me...

Anth (sporting fetching muddy freckles), trying to flatspot his knobbly tyres, from Earl Gray St. to Canning St.
Posted 13 years ago # -
Yip, heavily be-freckled, the sooner I sort the flat on the mudguarded bike the better!
Equally, Mr Wingpig, looking cheery and full of puff.

The sooner you stop posing mid-air jump photos on the SCB*, the sooner you'll get that flat fixed :)

A singing unicyclist along Seafield...

99% sure I was spotted by Gembo coming out of South Gyle Access (imaginatively named road) at Bankside. Well, someone on a tricross with a yellow helmet and Ortlieb gave me a friendly hollering as they sped past me trying to filter into the traffic out of the cones that have appeared on the road.

That unicyclist has a band (pretty good) and he rides plays and sings all at the same time. Nice guy.
Posted 13 years ago # -
k-nik that was me hollering. I was on my way to Tesco as they sent me £2 - I then loaded up the ortlieb and cycled along the canal in the dark, the moon was in the gutter as it were.

Anth, spotted fixieing his way homewards along Melville Drive while I was fixing to leave MMW. Then stopped to chat to Kaputnik who was rueing the perpetual grit particles that coated our bikes.

LaidBack on The Mound at 9.20 this morning walking Man's Best Friend (or was it the other way around?).
Posted 13 years ago # -
Yes... sorry if I didn't see you. Was heading to bin with small bag on behalf of 'man's best friend'.

I was all ready to report the sighting of an unknown recumbent tricycle on argyle place when it cycled down to speak to me. It turns out it is the same one I photographed in the steam train museum in Manchester. By which I mean the same make, not the same exact one.

two unicycles in bristo square, being filmed.
