@IWRATS: there was once a small van outside my house with one of those stickers. It was parked with all four wheels on the pavement, which made it difficult to avoid walking near.

Spotted while doing Google-based research for a presentation to the Council about the 2018 Harrison Park Feeder Ride to PoP...
A woman on a lovely blue bicycle on Streetview at the Kings' Theatre junction. I really like that blue.
...and more CCErs than you can shake a stick at in this video of the 2014 Feeder Ride.

@Greenroofer note how the May 2014 photo shows *two* cyclists doing the ‘cut across to the right before the traffic from Tarvit St gets here’ manoeuvre

Someone fat biking to work judging by the bike tracks round the Saughton tram stop. Up over the embankment, round the back of the stop and over the bridge. Or maybe the reverse, there wasn't enough snow to go great white hunter and divine the direction of travel.

@steveo - fat bikes are still rare spot in city. With lunar road surfaces you would think they might be more common.
I caught up with a Babboe Curve family trike going along towards Marchmont Crescent. Two children on board with non electrically assisted mum.
Seemed very happy. Had a little canopy to keep rain off.
Babboe supplies these directly with nice web site. Quick delivery it seems direct to your door.Posted 6 years ago # -

Spotted: that Balerno (not Fife) Tattie Day is coming up quite soon. @gembo are you involved in this?
Posted 6 years ago # -
I am involved in so far as I but my seed potatoes at it.
Once upon a time a very long time ago @kaputnik and @druidh and I also set off on @druidh's route the col du Climpy from Tattie day.
For those nt familiar with Tattie day at its high point this was a room full of very interesting seed potatoes, a resident potato X pert, spud paintings and nice chips to eat. What else could you want? Ok maybe some vodka, think scaled back a bit now, night still be children's art stuff and a stall of more easily accessible seed potatoes as part of the farmers market

Unfortunately, they were also doing the Dutch thing of riding on the right hand side of the road.

Seafield.
I have no idea.Posted 6 years ago # -
Perhaps:
"Caution: Tarmac may be soft and sticky"
"Warning: Risk of falling eggs."Though it's a red circle, so something prohibitive.

Aha, variant of some Lance Armstrong graffiti that appeared in LA a few years back?
Posted 6 years ago # -
Same colour scheme as the LA one but not quite in the right places?
Posted 6 years ago # -
Seafield and LA are often mentioned in the same sentence - possibly twinned in an alt universe.

Clearly a prohibition on cycling under the influence of drugs, but given the previous examples, perhaps just performance enhancing drugs...

I thought is was maybe that cycling with a catheter in tow is prohibited.
