This morning on the towpath near Wester Hailes, a woman heading into town on a bike towing a trailer with a crate holding three large drums of something. They were the kind of drums you get fence paint or chicken manure pellets in, but it was a bit early for a trip from B&Q.

Bikefan on the towpath this morning on a shiny black Brompton. We didn't exchange greetings as I think we were both distracted by the slightly unpredictable behaviour of the bike in front of him.
Mini-Greenroofer and I were returning from our PfS training (which we are taking very seriously).

Kappa kappa utnik on towpath at Harrison gdns, hi fives just missed due to alarming look on coupon of guy behind.

I wasn't aiming for a follow-through on the high 5, merely a gesture of intent; even at relatively sedate canal pace, the oncoming speed of a fellow cyclists can leave fingers and palms smarting.

I quite like that tingle in the morning,makes you wake up a bit but on way home could be sore.

Where were you? I was watching that wee child on a seat who was holding a wee turning-right signal all the way round from Colinton Road.
An associate who married an American lady just over a year ago recently described the weirdness of being subjected to his first high-five request.

I came into the Colinton Rd ASZ just as your lights changed and you cycled past me, so I missed the signal-carrying child.

@gembo did you greet me on the towpath this morning? I did at least manage to offer a generic return greeting upon hearing my username, but I failed to actually spot you again. I clearly need to pay more attention! Sorry.

@jdanielp
yes nearer town this morning, nearer heriot watt yesterday
Posted 8 years ago # -
@gembo oh, I didn't even register yesterday (did I react automatically or just blank you?). I'd be up for a high five, which might help to consolidate you in my memory.

We nearly managed that high five at jdanielp. I did make myself known to you I feel.
Posted 8 years ago # -
Indeed, maybe next time. I've successfully high-fived random pedestrians before now, but I can now say that the closing speed of an attempted high-five between cyclists is quite intimidating...

Yes really -

That could have ended badly

Spotted a recumbent triker coming along the towpath at Harrison Park, as I was just remounting having walked my bike slowly past a family of ducklings. Turned out to be AlanR, so we had a lovely wee chat.

Abandoned EBC tag along on the canal path between meggetland bridge and south sub train tracks.

Twofer, a recumbent sized gap in space time that I think would have been occupied by Dave were he visible at the bottom of Lanark Road about 0800 and a high five with Gembo on the canal.

Nice to see Steveo been missing the all black garb. Also nice bell coming under bridge, turned out was jdanielp
Posted 8 years ago # -
@gembo thank you for the bell appreciation. Just to say that I didn't intend to avoid a high-five this morning, it is just that I automatically take the other branch when I see a cyclist coming the other way at the brief two-way stretch of path at Wester Hailes. By the time I realised that it was you, it was too late. Having said that, it may have been a partially unconscious decision given that our fairly low-speed high-five the other day turned out to be surprisingly sore in the short-term...

I must have been just in front of you jdanielp.
Posted 8 years ago # -
@steveo aha! I caught and passed a cyclist just after rounding the left-hand bend prior to the Scott Russell Aqueduct - was that you? I don't remember spotting any other cyclists ahead of me beyond that general area...

Blue Racer with an over-loaded Carradice swaying?
Posted 8 years ago # -
@steveo hmm, I can't remember anything along those lines.

Stopped and had a nice chat. I was off to moffat and he was swinging back past the granites after a ride down from roslin.Posted 8 years ago # -
gembo, with whom I managed a second successful high-five on the towpath this morning - this one didn't even sting!
