My old work place had magnet backed badges branded with the company logo so you never had that issue, we often hosted the events though so it made sense.

Forty and more plastic bottles, Pringles tubes, crisp packets, Irn Bru cans and a plastic fork still not managing to destroy the beauty of a still frozen Inverleith Pond this AM. Skating moorhens, gulls and mini icebergs. And some tinsel.

Many school boys trying to break the ice on canal with logs. Come the spring when it melts, the barges won't get through for all the wood that will be on the canal bed

An elephant bike on Princes St being propelled by Kaputnik with mini-Kaputnik as wel.

An @Iain McR in the wild using our human protected bike lane southbound on Leith Walk today.

(Too many CCErs to name being human bollards or organising human bollards.)

Speaking to @algo yesterday, I was reminded that I hadn't posted the latest two chapters in the reindeer saga:

A Kryptonite lock, underneath the seat next to the bike rack on the Edinburgh-Glasgow train. I didn't see any cyclists get off that carriage in Waverley so the lock's owner could be anywhere by now.

@Roibeard were you out and about without your red hat due to the warmth yesterday? Saw someone on Princes Street last night that I would have pegged as a spot but there was no hat...
Posted 6 years ago # -
Yep, no hat required yesterday!
To/from Christmas meal, so not my usual stomping ground...

Aha! (I was walking up to the Bow Bar for a couple of pints with friends.)

Is this new?

I've cycled along here many times, but today was the first time I noticed that there are chicanes on the pavement on Niddrie Mains Road
Chicanes! on the pavement!

The set furthest away are very close together. You're not getting a wheelchair through that.
Looking at the width and layout of the path - why's it not shared use?!
Posted 6 years ago # -
@Trixie, I think it might actually be shared use, with bikes using the section furthest from the kerb. If you go east towards Newcraighall, there's a cycle sign painted on the ground, though there aren't any signs on posts to reinforce the notion.

I think—for it was torrential dark at the time and I was viewing the world through a motorbike helmet visor that has scratches and bits that mist up too easily—and of course I may well be wrong, that yesterday teatime I spotted Wilmington's Cow's bright orange Mini heading towards the pond with the swans at Holyrood/Queen's Drive. Moments later, I thought I spotted kaputnik pushing an Elephant Bike up the mighty gradient of Queen's Drive.

@Arellcat, CycleStreets says it's not shared but clearly it should be and was probably meant to be. A few bike stencils and wee blue signs and it's good to go.

@Arellcat - do you mean the painted bike on the pavement at the junction with Hay Avenue? I think that's for a north-south route between Niddrie Marischal Road and Hay Avenue.

Maybe that's what it is, Frenchy. I don't use Niddrie Mains Road very much, but thought the footways looked almost designed for shared use, yet noticed the lack of other signage.

They certainly do, and that someone put chicanes on them also suggests that. I'll try and find out what the deal is.

Arriving in to work on the bike this morning, in the dawn gloaming, I was confused by the outfit of the colleague riding in a little way in front of me. She seemed to be wearing some kind of broad hi-viz stripes on her top half and she looked broader than usual.
As we got into the bike park it became clear that she was wearing a full-on Santa outfit (the 'broad hi-viz stripes' were white fur...) and that she had a set of jingling sleigh bells on her bike.
Outstanding!

@hartcyclery waiting to commence The Ride to The Pub and later Hankchiefs LEL bike outside the pub with him inside.
I was there under other pretences having been home for dinner and then ridden there with a small "r".

@Greenroofer: :)
A driver on the number 4 bus earlier this week was wearing a Christmas jumper and a santa hat. And smiling. Made a nice change from the all-too-common Lothian Buses grump (which, again all-too-often, seems to translate into erratic driving symptomatic of a lack of proper concentration - probably because they're busy thinking about how hacked off they are).
Posted 6 years ago # -
I wonder if a Santa outfit makes the drivers behave better ... I mean, who would want to come home and confess to the kids that you knocked Santa off his/her bike?

Orange cargo bike and an electric wheelchair on the (actually) segregated cycle bit on Leith Walk.
Also a car parked on the (actually, but not forcibly) segregated cycle bit on Leith Walk.

"Orange cargo bike"
Might have been me on the Pronto. Laden with Chrimbo shopping on the uphill (against the wind); freewheeling with bell ringing on the way down.

@crowriver Possibly! I crossed your path wheeling a white Specialized Dolce across McDonald Road and nearly losing control of it in the cross-wind.
Posted 6 years ago # -
Yes, think I saw you looking a bit unsteady while you were heading east?
Posted 6 years ago # -
Yes. Just picking up my wife's bike after it spent a night on a railing. See separate thread for full details on why she couldn't ride it home.
