Someone going the WRONG way round the hill, without any lights. On a bike, obviously.

Our favourite sort of German executive saloon coming along Gilmore place on the wrong side of the road (attempting to overtake a cyclist that was attempting to overtake all the cars parked in the "bus" lane).
I played chicken with it for about 50m then started waving madly at it to get out of my way.
It didn't.
I made alternative arrangements and offered some loud advice about which side of the road we drive on in this country.
I must practice aiming the clearing of my nostrils better.

Yes... sorry I had chain issue (after my key issue!) so was stopping or maybe just setting off again in wrong gear.

A Min on the water and then "TheBikeChain" on the old railway, that'll teach me to commute half an hour later than usual, spots everywhere! :-))

In the evenings, I regularly see a chap on a racer with a canary yellow h****t and a bright orange baggy teeshirt whizzing down Drumbrae North whilst I'm slogging up it. Always wonder if it's someone on here?

TBC and I then spotted each other later on too so it was a giant three-way spot that one. :-)

"Circles allows for easy grouping of and sharing with friends of family. Hangouts bring the "unplanned meet-up" to the web with group video chats."
Who needs real life when you've got the Internet? (I think that's irony.)

@chdot - new name for Google vs Facebook (v3.0) => GoogleFail

"Facebook (v3.0) => GoogleFail"
Probably.
I won't be using either.
It's interesting that FB is working with Apple, so the 'future' is more iOS v Android.
Meanwhile 'we' will just meet/spot randomly and/or at PY coffee mornings.

Dave Crampton at the bridge across A90 just before Cragiehall, on his Galaxy taking the scenic route back to Fifeshire in the sun?

Forgot this yesterday. I saw that bloke (Mihlawhdh, apparently) who's usually accompanied by one of those squash-faced wee dogs and can usually be seen cycling around the pavements near Lothian Road and Brougham Place actually cycling on the actual road between Fountainbridge and Morrison St. I was going to get a photo but he'd already gone back onto the pavement by the time I caught up.

Ah yes I know that guy, come into the pavilion regularly and eats all the cake. I have never seen him cycle on the road (or above 5mph) so good spot!

Anth, going west along Morrison St on the pavement. On foot.

LaidBack and co, plotting and scheming over a map out side the coffee place at Exchange place.
Typically I spotted the Helios before any people....

Couple of cyclists in deep discussion at the junction of Craiglochart/Colinton Road, one with a brown Dawes (Super?) Galaxy.
Anyone on here?Posted 13 years ago # -
On Sunday night, around the hill: despite the barrier being in place to stop cars, a woman was cycling up the footpath, beside a man on the roadway. Next time round, they looked like they'd just emerged from a dip in Dunsapie Loch. Next time round they were dressed and heading off. Also a girl going the wrong way round the road at the top and later down the footpath.

rider from Team Tunnocks wheeling their bike down the pavement at Chesser. Wearing a maillot jaune. Must have won something!

Steveo - Was parked and planning with infrequent forumer Donny Murdo at Cafe Citron (It's a bit like a Jaques Tati film set).
Doing some Ready Steady Bike. We call two lines of cones the Corridor of Doom* and that seems to amuse our clients. We had big group and one was a non-balancer so he was on the tandem for 20 mins. He's got hang of riding solo now...
* Real one is of course Princes Street.

I won a new front wheel courtesy of EBC - very reasonable, all agreed
i hadn't used the bike much and hub on front wheel ruptured on one side only. Nick at Freewheelin had suggested I took it back which was a good call. EBC also serviced the hub so it stopped making the churning noise on way home after fill-up at project coffeee. Marmite today causing smiles inm8 tailbackPosted 13 years ago # -
Helios heading south on MMW with (I presume) Dad, young female stoker, and younger sibling in childseat.
I was on Helios headed north, sans stoker or passenger.

"I was on Helios headed north"
Did you both wave?
