I'm being spotted ridiculously frequently at the moment! That was indeed me.
Effort was just 'toil' really as I stubbornly refused to change down a couple of gears.
For what it's worth I'd seen the runner, and she looked rather focused and fast!

Judging by a photo you posted on Facebook that is because there are two identical WCs now.

When I said the bike looked like @WC's bike, I had no idea it actually was his bike. I had no idea that @WC was spottable so far West. I shall add him to my list of things I might see on the commute (along with the fabled kingfisher)

You mean the beige bike? Has been out stenhouse path or gyle recently I think

It's like the Sharks and the Jets. Someone from the East side is coming on to our West Side turf...

Thought the Edinburgh divide was N or S of Princes Street.

Good to see the spotted thread is alive and well. Has it really been 5 years?
I don't get in here often enough theses days.

@recombodna, has been a most popular thread since you started it. Several spots of mine are virtually daily, eg yesterday's high Five with jdanielp on towpath.
I spotted you on Facebook in the company of the drummer from geek maggot bingo

A woman on her bicycle with a young child on the front, valiantly made her way up Market Street to the Mound despite a William Tracey bin lorry sitting atop the 'cycle lane'
Chapeau Ma'am.

I spotted Big John on the towpath this morning and wished him a happy 60th birthday. He didn't mention his bus pass.

Did a quick(ish) ride to Cockenzie this morning, lots of people out on bikes. I came back into town via the Innocent Railway. Whilst stopped to munch several Jelly Babies I chatted with a Circe Helios rider whose CCE handle I probably learned at PY once but I'm afraid I couldn't remember it at all.

Hi Arellcat, that was me, enjoying a trip across town to my sister's allotment.

I was spotted by @Harts tonight.
Coming through Corstorphine I looked behind me before overtaking a parked car and saw a upright bike holding primary. I thought nothing of it until by the zoo I glanced behind only to still see him there. He shouted at me and I slowed up to have a chat. I was told off for not normalising cycling - which was fair but I was running late for the hustings.
Fair play to him for chasing me down on his basketted gazelle. I was on my pub bike but not hanging about.
I also spotted myself on SportRelief on Friday night finishing my London-Edinburgh charity ride. Happy days for a good cause.

@HankChief In what way were you not normalising cycling? Is this something I could be guilty of, unwittingly?
Posted 8 years ago # -
"I was on my pub bike"
That'll be one with at least 3 brackets for attaching trailers and kids's seats.
Definitely not 'normal'...

Woke up this morning feelibng very tired and wondering if I should take teh train. took teh bike anyway , as it was such a nice morning,
On Bug Alley, came across a gent I used to see on the Fife-bound trains when I bike-trained. Last time I'd seen him he'd had 1 hip replacement and was awaiting another. This morning had a chat to him - both ops worked well, he "feels like superman" and he was back out on his bike and enjoying a lovely morning.
We also chatted to a gent with two massive wolfhounds who often walks them on Bug Alley at commuter times. Turns out he's a regular cyclist and ultramarathon runner.
All in all avery pleasant and leisurely commute.

Hankchief - are you serious? Forum rules prevent writing my true opinion of that attitude.
Posted 8 years ago # -
@Min
Are you objecting to the ticking off or the autospot? Both are dubious.
Posted 8 years ago # -
Min: think HankChief and Hart's know each other quite well so suspect it was said in jest.
Posted 8 years ago # -
Chasing someone down and having a go for not "normalising" cycling? Too right I object.
I am not sure what an autospot is so it is possible I object to one of those too?
Edit Stickman - okay then, that's a relief.

Yellow tandem near Cannonmills. Seemingly having mechanical issues, though they were resolved quickly.
