University of Edinburgh School of Informatics has some larger two wheelers in bike park today. No bike racks are being blocked and one Vespa and Triumph hardly make a trend. Motorbike use has taken off slightly but still a long way behind bikes in city.
Fully expect larger electric machines to be a trend in future though.

Older couple today with the lean build and nice steel bikes typical of experienced cycle tourists. His bike was particularly impressive: a lovely shiny dynamo on the front hub and a bottle of red in his seat tube bottle cage.

At least some LB drivers leave room for filtering, in spite of the unfriendly official notice -
(Maybe they are not supposed to?)

I only seem to spot Big John on the canal towpath once every week or two these days. He says that he will be appearing in court tomorrow as a witness to threatening behaviour and pavement cycling which occurred in the vicinity of Inglis Green Road about eight months ago.
I have spotted two in-line skaters this week as well, which is two more than usual. One late on Monday night hurtling along the pavement on Earl Gray Street and one this morning on the towpath by Gogar Station Road Bridge.

spotted SRD powering up Argyle Place earlier this evening. I was going to shout a hello but I am not a confident shouter.

I was using the new segregated path from the Innocent to the Meadows this evening (and it was rather wonderful). As well as a steady stream of commuter-types and a man towing a trailer with two children inside, I passed a very low recumbent towing an aluminium box trailer and piloted by a chap with reddish hair and a beard.
If it was you, I was the one with a bright yellow h*lm*t, yellow glasses and a blue B'Twin jersey on a muddy road bike (also from Decathlon). I would have been wearing a B'Twin helmet too, but they don't fit me.
Anyone who thinks that segregated paths are pointless should be made to go an stand on the Meadows-Innocent one at rush hour. "If you build it, they will come".

"occasionally of this parish"
Perhaps 'previously of this parish'

Too busy playing with fire to come on here any more?

Corking spot this morning. I was building up to full steam (in my head) and was passed by a nippy wee guy who cycles in Scotland rugby shorts and has sticky out arms and less so legs. Wee rucksack, skinny tyres no grip. Anyway minutes later he was passed by chap with Orange ortlieb panniers draughtng a tipper truck. I though a. Nippy wee guy won't like this. And b. I recognise the lugs on that lorry drafter.
Due to the schafenfreude of the Lanark road lights I nearly caught these speedsters at gill espies X roads and then properly at slateford. The lorry drafter I noticed had a hand held hog bristle brush on his rack (I am guessing to sweep the glass from NEPN). I was heading up to canal via slateford station so I declined to shout out DAVE

robyvecchio of this parish, yesterday about 11.30am, on MacDonald Road, heading east. I was taking bairns out to Fife via NEPN, A90 path and FRB: big one on his own bike and little one on tagalong. I did wave but don't think you recognised me in my cycling cap!

"skinny tyres no grip"
Urban myth.

Skinny tyres, no knobbly bits, sorry, admit not accurate enough there

Wingpig cycling near the Red Bridge on the NEPN.

Did that person just in front of you know you were there?
Thought I'd also spotted other Dave somewhere round Wardie Road, but then definitely saw him further anticlockwise, so beware someone with the same head-motion and style of gear.Posted 8 years ago # -
Dave has dynamo lights so pretty easy to spot, plus rides a blue? Planet X.
I suspect the people ahead of me know there is someone behind them, my light is there and I make noises...

Spotted on the Forth Road Bridge, a walking cyclist who has had 2 punctures near or on the bridge. Stopped and gave him a spare tube.

Saw these two beautiful Shand bikes earlier, plus a nice steel-framed something else sandwiched between....

Spotted this forum getting mentioned on cycle law Scotland Facebook page advertising their successful claim against council for very slippy so called anti-skid surface at craigleith, involving FOI and the info commissioner

That's good work from Cycle Law Scotland and a bit shameful from the Council and their insurers. I've often wondered why that section has a different surface. Is it genuinely an attempt to prevent skids as it's a downhill slope, or is it to indicate priority over the main Roseburn Path?
Change of subject: @algo great picture, for some reason I really like the symmetry created by the front two bikes!
