    This will serve to make me less worried that I'm being scowled at in future. :-)

    Owner arrived with two adults on bikes.

    INSISTED that her bike should be parked here.

    Never seen another on these racks.

    Or is that "no longer" spotted?

    How many YEARS has it taken to remove the last remaining unnecessary/not legal "NO CYCLING" markings?

    One of the PoP posters that I helped put up recently on campus has been spotted by another Heriot-Watt cyclist:

    The distinctive handlebars of kaputnik, weaving past some unleashed dogs on the Pinkhill path.

    In Morningside over the course of the day...
    1) Orange Brompton heading uphill into town mid-morning
    2) Black Brompton on Canaan Lane stopping for us as we crossed the road at she turned onto Morningside Road. Mid-morning again.
    3) Distinctive blue and red Brompton heading south in the afternoon.

    Was there some kind of Brompton meeting in town today?

    I saw a lady in a red/purple cardigan putting up a POP poster on a lamp post* on Glenogle Road around 5.30pm this evening. I should have said hello in a supportive way but this only occurred to me after I was past.

    *that was quite satisfying to type out

    There is a cheery tall chappy on an upright bike that we occasionally exchange waves with early in the morning on Riversdale Cresent.

    This morning we spotted him riding a Pino (solo) through Roseburn Park. We waved - anyone on here?

    Man with two early-mid teenage (I'm guessing) children cycling along Ravelston Dikes about 10pm last night. I assume father and sons or father and son and friend of son. Nice to see bikes being used for transport by children so late at night.

    Not ... a ... single ... wave.. on the Firth of Forth this morning. I came in along Cramond Prom this morning. It was slighly misty but bliss!

    On my way home, I stopped to help a fellow cyclist who was having issues getting a stubborn Gatorskin off to fix a rear puncture. It was during the conversation whilst we subsequently puzzled over her spare innertube which refused to let any air in (stuck valve, I reckon) that she mentioned who she was.

    I gave her one of my spare tubes and she gave me some of her spare bananas in return :-)

    It's great the people you meet when you're out on your bike!

    I'm not sure I understand the concept of "spare" bananas :-)

    A chap (definitely worthy of being called a chap) passed me at Roseburn on a Pashley: couldn't see if it was a Guv'nor or a 5 Speed. Very handsome either way. I was on my 3-speed for the first time this year. Absolutely glorious morning to be on a bike.

    Tandem recumbent on MMW this eve; easy spot

    Yes - was a first time try out on a tandem and a recumbent for a visitor from Cumbria. She thought it was good and very comfortable. Only 'downside' (in her view) was that people noticed it. Even with no flag!

    Imagine that! ;-)

    Oh I forgot that I spotted a non-Roibeard soloing something Pino-like a few days ago.

    Now that I write that down I think I know why I forgot to post it here..

    Pino Grigio? I don't know how these spots work, clearly.

    @Min - your non-roibeard soloing pino rider could be the same one I spotted up thread.

    Unless they are breeding...

    I didn't spot Min this morning, and didn't spot Roibeard two days ago on the way home. I shall keep an eye out for the non-Roibeard western pino-impostor as I'm off to Staples on the way home and might go through Roseburn Park. If I go via the canal I'll keep an eye out for The IWRATS Collection and the pusher-inner.

    Did I pass wingpig on his way to Staples this evening? Certainly a might-have-been-winpig passed me on the narrow bit of towpath near Meggetland just after he'd passed two dogs (one brown, one black). He had a yellow top and nothing whatsoever on his head. I had a fluorescent gilet, red top underneath and nothing whatsoever on my head either.

    I'd just taken a longer way home, given the weather, and come via Currie and the Water of Leith Path which was extremely pleasant.

    I did go that way, and was so accoutred. I'll check my footage to see who you are. Did I have a drafter at that point?
