But what is it?

@SRD - if that's your ceiling, beware standing under it in case it drops down on your head, burrows into your brain and controls your husk of a body to its nefarious ends...

Alos spotted - within 30seconds of each other -
1. a smoothly gliding electric assist urban arrow carrying a baby (or at least a baby-carrier) on SMW.
2. A more trad bakfiets with a pilot working hard heading up Argyle Place.
@Roibeard - floor... (and did you notice, there is a baby one too? eek!)

Forgive me Father for I have not posted in ...AGES!!!
I cam in on Thursday and think I spotted Min at the Craigleith Y, as I headed north.
Then today near the 5 ways on the NEPN I think I spotted Jackson Priest? I can't remember his real name and I have seen him on a few borders audaxes.

@wingpig has it -- it appears to be drippage from the brake levers on the folder. Bizarre eh?

Spotted on the bend under the bridge in Easter Drylaw Park, two Kubotas driving south. Both with snow ploughs on and both with grit bins. Good to see them ploughing and gritting in Edinburgh.
The path from Dalmeny to the Golf courses was decidedly icy in places.
Spoke to one cyclist walking from Cramond Brig into town along Brae park Road. He said he had come off, perhaps as he pedalled off the bridge, it was icy there.

A concave fence on McEwan Square the day after a heavy snowfall, situated off the right of the road at the end of a long smooth curve to the left.
Well I'm not saying anything but I'm also not not saying anything.

Your bike has made that signpost wilt. Scaffolding envy?

Stopped at the red lights going uphill on Leith Street, just before Greenside Row. On the ground, a plastic-handled craft scalpel.
At this moment the light turns green so I signal to the people behind to stay back a second while I deal with the hazard. They ignore me and the first cyclist rides over the scalpel, just missing the blade. (Two cyclists and three drivers barged through while I was signalling them to back off. What does it take?!)
I pick it up and throw it to the side of the road, where it dramatically buries itself in the wooden hoarding. So, if you look to your left somewhere between the traffic light and the sign which says "Please Wait Here etc." you may spot it yourself.

I like to think that the canines of the Grange are so well fed their urine cuts through steel.

Spotted Señor @gembo last night cycling up Lanark Rd with a friend(?) behind him. We were stuck in traffic (I was getting a lift). Took 1.5h to drive back from Livingston so roughly the same as cycling. At least I didn't get wet.
Posted 6 years ago # -
@bill, I cycled back from Livingston in 1h15 and I didn't get wet and I filtered smugly past all the traffic on the Lanark Road.
I didn't spot Gembo though...Posted 6 years ago # -
@bill, not sure he is my friend (as I do not know him but he is often on the road at the same time). In a friendly gesture he decided to overtake me just before Juni Green and therefore give me a nice bit of shelter all the way to Currie, if it was the compact chap in red. The rangier cat in blue did a double overtake and my friend was not feeling like catching him so we took it easy.
I did not get wet either as the rain had stopped.
These lifts Bill are causing you to stray from the Path of Righteousness. EDITS After seeing the other post - Commute to Livi this morning Chapeau Bill, Straight is the Way and Narrow's the gate
In other news Guyy Garvie plays the three greatest Talking Heads tracks on his show (went out Sunday still available on iplayer) AS DAVID BYRNE IS TOURING - HURRAY FOR THE MAN FROM DUMBARTON (originally)

@gembo Yes, the chap in red. As I recall you were also in red, so somehow I jumped to conclusion that you were "friends" -- colour and proximity friends at least.
This icy cycling business is a bit too stressful for me. Usually even if Edinburgh is fine, west of Ratho isn't :/ I must admit that it felt quite strange to be back on bike after even though I did about 12,000 km last year.
I had this-one-song-of-Talking-Heads-I-now-know stuck in my head this morning, which was probably triggered by seeing you last night.
@fimm glad you didn't get wet. I was rather wet shortly after 5pm. Actually seeing your post yesterday about commute (and @gembo's strong pedaling up the hill) motivated me ride in today :)

the Path of Righteousness - if I were allowed to name off-road cycle paths...

The Paths of Rhythm and possibly an Instinctive Travelway.
Maybe a Route of All Evil.Posted 6 years ago # -
Yes, yes and yes. Also Path o' Logic.
Posted 6 years ago # -
@bill, excellent logic. Also as we were red amigos you went for Senor? Icy past Ratho you bet.
