[replying to a 5 day old post]
@steveo:
"Slightly existential crisis while walking home. Chap on a white genesis with green caradice rode past me. Only the third carradice i've seen in action. Bit weird seeing a bike very like your own geared up as yours is."
1 rear light on the saddlebag, another on the seatstay? It was possibly me on my way to / from work... where and when was this?
[P.S. Hi all, I'll put up an introduction post in a while]

Chap on a mountain bike heading down North Bridge this morning towards Leith with a pet box on his pannier rack.
Caught up with him at the lights at the Balmoral. Couldn't see the creature inside but there was something moving in there in the little blanket. It could have been a kitten, but it could also have been a snake - I cannot rule it out. Guy rode off very quickly, possibly to meet someone in connection with the animal, and I lost track.

Salsa tourer in mustardy green between Morrison Street and Haymarket, white ortlieb city luggage, discs and flat bars. Nice looking bike and could fairly move. He got a much better line through the stramash of taxis trying to U-turn both infront and behind of the airport bus into a queue of cars on the other side of the road, thus completely boxing in the bus and preventing anyone filtering through...

Spotted while shopping by tandem.
Young rider on BMX bike hammering down past Scotmid - must have picked up speed on hill past Velo Ecosse.
Lights change to red and I here buzzing noise as he uses right foot to rub on back tyre. Bike snakes a bit from left to right as he 'burns rubber'.
Halts in ASL.
Makes a change from riding on pavements and jumping reds so I was impressed. (Maybe too easily?!)Posted 13 years ago # -

The man who I bought my Audax frame off of ebay from brought it round by bike, wearing it!

"someone cycling with another bike carried in hand"
I presume you mean carried - not just steered(?)

Oh I saw her the other day. Forgot to mention it on here.

That's easy - whole bikes is slightly more difficult - need to be reasonable size frame + not too heavy...

Oh yes

I've done it with a kids' bike - but not far (or in traffic)!
