Drop barred bike parked at the entrance to Blackford Pond that had its front forks on backwards! No owner around and I didn't have pen and paper to leave a note, but I can't imagine that is safe.

Three T/terns on the towpath this morning. I was heading out of town on my Tern HSD to Hermiston Gait* and slowed to give way to the distinctive shape of a Tern coming the other way (which I realised after I'd said "Nice bike!" was being piloted at pace by @Dave).
There's something here about one good Tern deserving another...
Unfortunately a little later I saw a dead bird floating on its back which looked like a tern (but probably wasn't).
*Where I picked up an online order of a cycle cape and waterproof spats from Decathlon (whose utility cycling gear is good if you buy it online, but whose stock of actual cycling gear in the store is shrinking and disappointing) and three bags of compost from B&Q (which is honestly a little bit too much for my Tern HSD, and reminded my why I regret not getting a GSD).

@greenroofer - excellent ride Report, if I see you in that cape I will take measurements to see if it will work for my mum in her wee wheelchair this winter.

I think whatever bike you get there is a temptation for something bigger! The twins do not like riding pillion any more and I have to lower the saddle and ride on my arches to prevent my heels bashing into them. An extra 12" on the back of the bike would be amazing... a GSD XL

So Mini-Greenroofer (now 19 and a student at Aberdeen) is still happy to ride on the back of the HSD if it means free trips back from late night parties. She also still fits into the 'big kid' weight/height requirements.
However 'Micro'-Greenroofer, despite being four years younger than his sister, is now over 6ft tall and is pleased that he is now too big to be able to go on the back...

unhurt cycling on NMW this morning.

That was a very cold and dark commute home along the towpath this evening. Despite the darkness, someone shouted 'Daniel' as they cycled by in the other direction accompanying somebody else. I can only assume that their lighting is 'better' (/more blinding) than mine...

@jdanielp - That was me
I dipped my blinder and so did you if only all the other cats on the canal towpath weren’t selfish bar stewards.

@gembo oh, I really didn't think I had recognised the voice. Were you cycling with somebody else?

My colleague from work who left before me but doesn’t like the Cowgate and her usual route is Castle /Johnston Tce also closed so she had gone along Princes St then surprised me by. Appearing behind me Panto stye
This colleague and of course darkness prevented the obligatory Hi-5

Ok, that's a relief that at least some of my sensory apparatus was functional.

Saw a blue-haired recumbent rider in the Leith bike lane having a conversation of sorts with a white van man. It did not sound festive.

Was that @SRD that I passed in Balerno this morning? I'm not completely sure it was, but there was definitely an SRD-vibe to the person I passed, so I thought I should check.
I was on my way to inspect The Big Puddle, which was quite big, but not as big as it has been. The track round the reservoirs was muddy. Clubbiedean seemed busy, even though the weather was inclement...

They have come to see the Big Puddle. All glory to the Big Puddle!

@ g
No, DBay to Aberdour.
Never actually seen any motors there apart from Fife ones laying some well crafted tarmac.
