@twinspark - so it was you. Sorry that I completely blanked you: it was only afterwards that I clicked who it was. I was lost in thought about (a) the challenge of removing a Sold Secure Gold lock from a bike and (b) whether a combined speed and cadence sensor would allow me to do power-based training on my turbo-trainer using a Garmin head unit. A benefit of the towpath is that it allows parallel trains of thought while cycling and without endangering anyone.

@paddyirish on the bridge tonight. Although I suspect credit should go to him for spotting me and shouting my name as we passed.

A full bike stand of Bike and Go bikes at Linlithgow station, hadn't noticed it before.

I've seen a couple of Albellio Bike and Go bikes at Meadowbank Sainsbury a couple of times a few days apart.
Steveo on the NEPN, as I was waiting behind someone before overtaking. The steady-headed False Dave, who did not wait behind someone to overtake and was spoken to appropriately. I think I also saw the True Dave the other day too.Posted 6 years ago # -

Kid on cycle seat giving hand signals. However he was always indicating right, while the main steerer at the front was going left. At 18 months old a child should know the difference between right and left, so s/he can act as an indicator at shouted commands.

I was havng lunch in the Livingston Inn today, about 1pm, and thought I saw fimm passing by outside.

Running? Lunchtime Friday? Correct, if so.
Mr fimm and I were spotted by Gembo on the towpath on Friday evening. We had not done a good job of leaving space for others to pass while we stopped to talk to a friend.Posted 6 years ago # -
Saturday lunchtime, but it was a fimmelgänger with a not-very-triathlonny bicycle.

I was definitely nowhere near Livingston on Saturday!!!

@Morningsider heading south from, of course, Morningside, this evening. I was on foot, accompanying Mini-Greenroofer to a music lesson in Oxgangs. That part of town is very short of provision for cycling: there's no pleasant bike route that we could think of to get there.

Do you know what like the paths through the Braidburn Valley Park, and then west to Colinton Mains Park or south to the shops at Oxgangs Brae are?
Even if they are suitable for cycling, there is the problem of getting to them from the north end...

@gembo
Nelly or neddie?
Posted 6 years ago # -
@Frenchy - exactly. The path through Braidburn Valley is fine (although a little out of our way), but there is no satisfactory route to the start of it that doesn't involve narrow rat-run roads with lots of parked cars on them, mini-roundabouts, steep hills and appalling road surfaces (Morningside Grove, I'm looking at you).
