    “an active member of Edinburgh's shadowy cycling mafia”

    Will that cause problems??

    riding a recumbent, pulling a trailer on which was a boxed recumbent. Positively recursive

    The Earth sits on a recumbent. But what holds up that recumbent? Another larger recumbent.

    @Willmington - Sparkle still at work. Blocked the chimney on the range off just in case she heads up the lum!
    @NiallA - yes 10-50 - chainrings on back with a 40T sprocket on front. So far it's been fine but have a 12 speed link just in case.
    @neddie - All makes sense in the recumbent world!

    The fundamental is the Avatar 2000, on whose shoulders seat all modern recumbents stand.

    I came to spot Laidback wheeling a recumbent with a animal in a carrier on the seat. However too late. He purposely paced past my place of productivity (work) early yesterday morning.

    Like the forum member, I assumed. Doesn't say it's for people, could be a podenco pampering parlour?

    I don't think dogs like mustard.

    Spotted a Helios tandem between Cousland and Carberry, roughly at the bridge over the old railway at Crossgatehall.

    That was indeed me - this t-shirt. And helmet probably slung across the front of my bike since it was acting as a fantastic greenfly-catcher.
    I didn't spot you :(

    Just saw two people at Edinburgh Park station with NextBikes from
    Glasgow! That’s going to be an expensive hire...

    May well have been Javi from Bike Works and family test riding our demo e-Helios. They said they had a lot of fun once they got used to having everyone on the bike! Childseat on back?

    Spotted the hi speed Azuma train leaving Waverley yesterday and heading east. Trial I think as only humans I saw were right up the front. also not running that way? Spotter was filming it if anyone likes watching short videos of trains I imagine on a youtube channel

    Looked great. Had huge bike logo on the bike carriage at the front (not a carriage for bikes just the carriage to put your bikes in) and big wheelchair logo on rear carriage.

    Took the train to North Berwick this morning. I saw a chap with a hybrid-style bike get on at Waverley. At Drem (I think) he was riding along the road beside the train. I assume he got off at an earlier stop and kept up with train for at least one stop, perhaps two. There was quite a tailwind.

    That's impressive. The train apparently takes 6 minutes to travel the 4.5 miles from Longniddry to Drem (45 mph).

    Even adding on a couple of minutes stop at each end, your cyclist must have been averaging almost 30mph.

    EDIT: I wonder if there are any suggestible readers of CCE who might fancy recreating http://www.naden.de/blog/bbvideo-bbpress-video-plugin -->

    I've raced the tram down Princes Street in the evenings before. I'm sure there's a terrible YouTube video that could be made out of that...

    Spotted Alf C (audax sort of guy, customer of LB) in Lidl in Penicuik, and had a nice catch-up at the bike racks afterwards.

    Second Sunday in a row I spotted @edinburghcyclecam. I was in marks and Spencer's doorway cafe at the gyle @ECC was accessing said emporium
