Recumbent on bridge as part of a larger party (2 and maybe 4), heading northbound about 4.45 or so. Commented on it as I went past and would like to have asked more, but had to get home for the kids, so had to plough on.
Anyone on here?

Chap on an Omnium Cargobike this morning as I turned left at the top of MMW. Pretty swift too.

Loads of families on bikes on the NEPN on Sunday. Lots of people on bikes on the way to and from Livingston yesterday.

Purple, white and fluo-green nineties-style road bike on the verge of the Picardy Place roundabout with a snapped back wheel.
I know the bike you mean. Glad the rider is okay. Another horrible roundabout. Mind you, I don't think there are any nice ones.

I think I see that bike regularly parked outside Jakob on Haymarket Terrace.

There seam to be quite a few cargo bikes about at present, I was returning from the Bike Station on the Urban Arrow when I was passed by Robert on a green Bullett coming the other way. Then When I was locking up the UA, I was passed by a Christiania Trike, interestingly it was an e-assist one.

With reference to the roundabout at Picardy place, yesterday I was stuck at the lights at the top of broughton St at lunch time and looked to the car on my left. This was a BMW with roof down. The driver was keeping a large hand rolled cigarette alight with a lighter, the air had a certain herbal tinge and I believe he then smoked this reefer which is I think called a spliff in the patois of our times. So look out for yourselves on that bad bad roundabout.
Next, when I was going down innocent tunnel at lunch time today, three ninja sitting on the path in the dark rolling joints, I saw them in time but could well have spoiled their party.

Private hire on Monday night stopped on Picardy Place roundabout with passenger leaning out of opened door as if re-examining a previous meal. Perhaps he shouldn't have inhaled?

Fimm this morn, though that was a planned rendez-vous.
'Heard' arellcat pass behind me as I finished my PY scone, looked up to see the torpedo streaking uphill.

Spotted Roibeard on Argyle Place this morning. You could say 'Bullit meets bullet'.

An Urban Arrow outside EBC. Might have been connected to the small child running repeatedly around the shop, out through the north door then in through the south door.

Is an Union 34 pannier a distinguishing CCE mark? Spotted someone with one this evening, turning from Balgreen Road onto the tram path. Black pannier/courier bag on the right rack, hi-viz jacket, hybrid-style bike.

I bought one during the period of astonishing reduction but it was not me. Others bought rucksacks.
They have had some thought put into them

Not Roibeard's Pino on Broomhouse Path, I must have been staring whilst trying to work out if its Roibeard as the chap said hello and wasn't Roibeard.
Posted 8 years ago # -
Oh yes, I think I said Hello to not Roibeard who was riding a Pino with no person in front along the Dalry Road.

Chap heading up from the near Slateford rail station, up towards the road to Balerno riding a white ridley fenix - I have the Ridley Fenix Classic in black and was riding my Ridley X-bow. I suggested he had great taste. Looked like a lovely bike (he definitely had fancier handlebars than me)

@Stickman "Is an Union 34 pannier a distinguishing CCE mark?"
Only if it is hidden inside a Carradice :-)

At the bike stands beneath my office. Pretty, groomed young woman in apricot mini dress tethering a brand new sky-blue Viking Belgravia, her smart hand-bag in the basket in front. The epitome of not wearing special cycling gear for commuting.

At lunch gembo and I, from the comfort of outdoor seating while indulging in slightly overpriced shack food, watched 3 or 4 cyclists heading east into the delineated-by-barriers section on George Street around the bar, by not actually going in and instead salmoning. Of course the van that parked up, taking out a cone in the process, to make Amazon deliveries, narrowing the entranceway to a smidge wider than handlebars, might have had something to do with it...
Posted 8 years ago # -
That guy was still making his deliveries after we finished the tasty if slightly overpriced luncheon and I had gone to Waterstones to buy the first of the discworld dodecahedrology, come out, dodged the Jo Malone bubbles and admired the Hendricks mini-Penny Farthings.
I have to hope he received a ticket

@wingpig, yes that was us with the UA outside EBC with "small child running repeatedly around the shop, out through the north door then in through the south door" - actually two small children doing same (they are slow runners). Snaffled myself a sale tyre for my shed-bound exercise bike :-)

For the first time ever I passed gembo actually on the aqueduct this evening in the midst of a throng of other bikes. He remarked on the absence of my distinctive orange hat.

Aha. Like the Lochend Park heron(s) I didn't see two at the same time and was too busy frowning at rubbish sale gloves to count them properly.

This week I have seen Eptigos, Velomobiles, carbon race bikes, trikes, tandems, steel tourers, vintage bikes, folders, brompton (not PBPing), single speeds, mountain bikes!! (complete with susforks!), flat bar bikes, Moulton's, tandem trikes, and probably a few more I was too tired to register.

Looked out of my window at lunchtime to see a group of 10-or-so cyclists on touring bikes, quite a few with aerobars, (but without much luggage) and matching jerseys, each with a different number on the back, and an enormous Polish flag on a pole on the bike riding broom wagon. Saw a couple of them head back the other way a while later.
