I had turned my camera off (I've stopped using it on the towpath) so we can't arrange a strange two-viewpoint video of each approaching the other...

Spotted Roibeard this morning on Dalkeith Road, going up the hill like a
speedingBullit, past Blacket Avenue. I was the passing biker who took a keen interest. :)Posted 10 years ago # -
going up the hill like a toiling Bullitt
FTFY
Only because the Brompton is in having its front wheel removed (seized to skewer - I suspect having gone two winters without a front puncture could prove very expensive!).
Then I discovered that colleagues had "helpfully" moved my training materials from Holyrood to my office at KB whilst I was on leave, so suddenly I was using the Bullitt in anger/for real!

Nothing what can't be put right with a big hammer.
Unfortunately the hub to which the skewer is seized is an example of precision German engineering, which might not take kindly to being hit with a hammer...
Consultations are ongoing!

An airport police officer (yellow flashing light on top of car - not on though) holding his machine gun next to a vehicle which had been stopped a car on the A8.
I didn't linger...

Tandem + tag-along with solo pilot heading west along St John's Road this morning. Going by location and previous descriptions then I think it was HankChief.
I was going to say hello but you were concentrating on getting past a car that had pulled some way out of a side street.

Aye that was me.
Funnily enough I was wondering if it was you.

@SRD I had a secondary spot of Mr.SRD at lunchtime on the Meadows by the Pavillion. I think I confused him by putting a hand up in acknowledgement :)

Father and daughter heading along St John's Road this evening. The girl looked about 8, the dad on a folder. Dad was shepherding her along safely.

A bunch of students that I spoke to before faceplanting (basically - but without hitting my face) in BRisto Square. I'm sure they thuoght In was super cool before I did so. Bloody knee but a surprisingly acrobatically solid fall (ended on my feet with bike some feet behind!)

Someone riding a Winther Cargoo trike towards the North Bridge/Princes St/Waterloo Pl/Leith St megajunction.
Edinburgh Cycle Company had an electric assist model at Greenfleet.

Somebody overtook me very slowly on the towpath as I was cycling into town yesterday evening. I turned around to try and ascertain why they were overtaking so slowly and was met with the word "snap!" - at this point I realised that the guy next to me was also riding a Charge Grater. I replied with a sound of recognition and a "nice bike!" as he pulled away from me, quite easily now, which made me feel somewhat inadequate given that he presumably had a similarly low top gear ratio (38T/20T and an Alfine 8).

A gradual lack of trees around Bristo Square this week as its development starts in earnest, which apparently requires nearly all of the old trees to be cut down?!?

I invited him to CCE so we may double our pino quotient
