Typos in redeveloped, occurred, and decommissioning (x2).
Never train as a developer, kids. (can't help spotting 'em)

Outside Edinburgh Young Musicians this morning: three Islabikes and one Frog bike + many other bikes, some with child carrying attachments. I have previously seen two different Helioses there, and often see CCE regulars there too. I think EYM might be a front and that actually it's the headquarters of Edinburgh's shadowy cycling mafia.

Shhhh

@EYM 10+ years ago there were sometimes tandems there too and assorted trailer bikes. Because it drew in people and tutors from a wide area also many cars as free parking was attraction. Daughter started taking her own bike too thanks to MMW being on way.

A Pedersen, a tandem and a cargo bike, all in the space of a few hundred metres.

That's a comfy looking saddle on the back. Do you know if any local bike shops would stock them?

in or around inch park, within 15 mins - a child carrying cargo bike, a recumbent trike, a bright red velomobile + several dozen kids on go-ride, and a group of mums on a breeze ride.
Possibly worth noting that the first three were totally unconnected with the latter two.

@Frenchy - that's our Le Corbusier Chair option for doing city tours on. At LB we believe you should be free of traditional bike seating such as those produced by Brooks. Also we think facing backwards is safer :-)
Been moving all sorts of stuff with the Helios big cargo rack accessory this week.

Any chance of a test ride up Gilmerton hill? I'll need to sit in the stoker seat to try it out, of course, so you'll need to pedal.

Multiple happy looking family groups out at Harlaw, and more smiling couples on Mountain bikes on various bits of the pentlands as I took the CX bike out for a spin. Absolutely lovely day.

Asked my boys if we should go for the sofa on the back Helios option.
M (aged 4) said he would like it and he could look out for cars that were going to crash into us.

I may need to employ M to keep edgy for me when I'm on the road.

@Frenchy Any chance of a test ride up Gilmerton hill?
Good route for a comfy chair seat as road surface is pretty poor ;-) Chair is around 25kg and rack can take 100kg.
If you can make within differential then it's possible :-)
From load carrying potential (including volume) to frame weight the Helios is pretty good. A Shimano Steps e-version is also availablePosted 6 years ago # -
@chrisfl such cynicism in one so young :-(
I bet LaidBack got plenty of space with that on the back!Posted 6 years ago # -

The person stopped in front of me on the towpath this afternoon turned out not to be a cyclist in trouble but @chrisfl taking a picture. We rode east together through some entertaining weather grumbling about how we'd been thrown out of the office early when we would have been quite capable of getting home in significantly worse conditions than these.
On the way we passed @Dave going the other way. I will bet he was thinking the same, and he even had the wind behind him.

Greenroofer beat me to the post. Also the snow had done a remarkable job of filling the gaps on the aqueduct, a very smooth crossing.

Also spotted Chrisfl on towpath. Then several skiers on WoL path
Heard a big rumbling behind me that was a fat bike which was lucky as I followed his track until Currie, then I had to push. Met a chap out walking his wolf. Well he said it was an Inuit, German shepherd, malmut cross. But it looked like a wolf. Was enjoying the snow
Posted 6 years ago # -
Have seen various dogs of different kinds enjoying the snow immensely. And some deeply unimpressed greyhounds...

Local youth pulling wheelies on a mid-range mountain bike in the same snow that has all the cars sliding about helter-skelter.
No Marathon Winters neither. No gloves, the better to manipulate the cannabis cigarette he was smoking all the while.
A lesson for CCE there?
Posted 6 years ago # -
An aspiration / inspiration I'd say!

Should really say '10's plenty'.

Possible CCE-er spot last night at EICA Ratho. A fellow climber leaving around 21:00 was extolling the virtues of winter cycling to me and politely letling me go ahead on the towpath ("you'll probably be faster than me"). My legs weren't so sure (especially after climbing for a few hours) - they were burning by the time I got home!
Sound familiar to anyone?
