    davec, apologies for the belated "morning". I didn't recognise you from a distance in your black outfit.

    Spotted on Dave's website and google's business directory old address details still referring to Marchmont

    Will change of course in time for weekend. Most of my customers don't actually come to shop unless by appointment. Everything is under control. There will be no big launch yet. Far too much to do in changeover as bike sales go on.

    Absolutely impeccably turned out lady on a vintage racing green sit up and beg going down Leith Walk this afternoon. Could have been Vonny Moyes given the fashion but bus was sat in traffic so she flew past without looking back.

    Less last minute than me. I was worried you were trying for a high-five with your raised hand.

    Big John has returned from his holiday to Japan which he thoroughly enjoyed by all accounts. He even tried sushi.

    @acsimpson, who was heading down the slip on the South side of the bridge.

    Paddyirish. I really need to improve my spotting so that I see you coming towards me rather than next to me.

    @wingpig, big John told me he was travelling with his bus pass but I never thought Japan was on his bucket list

    LaidBack, simultaneously cycling a loaded Helios cargo bike and a Nazca Fuego recumbent. Sounds impossible, but I've just seen it done!

    The MAMIL in ridiculous shades following Arellcat down Comiston Road was me.

    It being Arellcat on one of her infernal machines, I didn't stand a chance of going fast enough to draw alongside to say hello.

    I thought I might catch up at the Greenbank Church traffic lights, which were red when we reached them, but she is a more courageous filterer than me, so by the time I had started moving she had vanished into the distance.

    I was spotted by someone this morning by the Slateford viaducts - orange pannier covers was all I managed to note.

    Laidback, heading up Bruntsfield Links in time for one of the wee showers this afternoon.

    Wingpig - spotted your steady Cyo light first. I often have a flashing one on the shop bike. Was re-charging it though.

    Was towing an empty ammo box on trailer to new shop. Going over Bruntsfield as quieter route and good training.

    Is that a "thing" amongst owners of recumbent bike shops? Ben at Kinetics seems to have a lot of those too.

    Four laden recumbents attracted a wee bit of attention coming through Porty yesterday.

    (bigger)

    They had filtered up to the ASL before the lights changed but the blue car was blocking it, hence the rather odd looking road positions.

    Dude cycling one of these through Inch Park. Lycra top, rear view mirror on helmet. Pure eccentric bicyclist.

    I saw those 4 well laden recumbents today heading west on the A811 just past the Gargunnock junction. I was heading east by motorised four wheels.

    HankChief's rig (abridged edition) tethered outside Hart's earlier this afternoon.

    @stickman - the other half was inside having close attention from Graeme's biggest spanner in an attempt to remove a broken pedal that after 7,000 miles was determined to stay put.

    Alas, it didn't budge so plan B will be attempted tomorrow and I will temporarily be normally sized.

    Four laden recumbents

    Nice and low so everyone is looking at them.
    Maybe Nazca Fuegos as the rear light on one rack is actually pretty high for a 26" wheel. Not my customers - probably Dutch?

    A gentleman with what looked like a stookied broken ankle riding a Montague folding mountain bike along Tarbert promenade. I noticed it because I believe this very same bike belongs to an Airdrie based member here? Was it you? If so. Hope the ankle is healing!

    Huge gang of what could have been critical mass at 10.45a.m. This morning around murrayfield - I was heading to Jupiter art land to meet my supervisor/mentor and they were going about 10 mph round the various streets I was cutting through to get to tram route out to gogar staton road.

    Jupiter art land was hoaching. Supervisor was spot on with his supervision

    gembo on the towpath.

    I would have attempted a high 5, but I was hauling 4 large framed pictures in a giant poly bag over the handlebars - chav stylee.

    Not courageous enough to go none handed...

    Erob - ta - at least four 'sporty' hand cyclists in Edinburgh I hear. Many different types including the fat trike type one that WC posted about a few weeks ago.
