Jim is featured in Bella's big bicycle book.
Anth is going to review I hope...
Jim has used a Moulton in the past... frame broke - he delivered too much power I think.

@DaveC, I have lost count of RLJs, they are so numerous, especially when a junction is in pedestrian green man mode. I have to confess to having done that myself in the past if I'm rushing for a train, but now I dismount and push if the opportunity arises and I'm in a hurry. Otherwise, I'm rather rigorously 'vehicular' and shake my head at those who cruise through red lights as though they were not there...
The other thing that annoys me is folk undertaking me when I'm stopped at the lights (eg. in an ASZ) and intending to turn left. At least one can enquire easily of the other cyclist(s) whether or not they'll be turning left too. If they are not, I tend to get a bit critical!
Anyway, spotted a tallish chap riding a rather nice but large framed steel road bike westerly along Porty prom this morning, just before noon. White top, helmet. Anyone on here? Lovely morning for a cycle: warm as toast, air freshened by earlier rain and no wind! Alas now we have the first gusts of the hurricane arriving it seems.

recumbo-trike heading from Dalry Road into Grosvenor Place yesterday morning after PY. Alan R perchance?
Lovely Bianchi Pista track bike outside HMV on Princes Street
Laidback embarrassing his customer by telling me across the pavement just how fast he completed PBP

When locking your bike, make sure you get your lock round the potplant too.

Maybe it's supposed to be camouflage. Why the owner didn't just gaffer tape over the logos instead to create a 'stealth' bike, I dunno! Certainly different...

Looks like he does care a fig. Geddit? Groan

Spotted Kaputnik on foot outside the International Bar Brougham st. I was in the van, did wave.

on foot
Bike was still safely locked where I had left it the nigte before. I decided to be a responsible citizen and not ride it home after one too many. My colleagues were watching, after all.

Spotted lots of pro's on the mile yesterday.

Wingpig, at Granton, he on two-wheels, me in four, looking conspicuous with a big lens pointing out the window (at a Kestrel as it happens).

West Shore Road. White car. White mini. Hmm. White new mini. White extra-long new mini. OK... Roof rack. Bike rack. Aha... Open window. Lens. Long lens. Lens longer than the seat is wide. Yep... Man behind lens making squinty camera-face. Anth!

kapps - you left Diggers under two wheels. It is a bit further from your domestic residence than the IB which was my local when I lived off Bruntsfield Links
Ruggtom - two of the pros from Dover [well endura] made it out to Currie yesterday evening - I was headed in to EBC - to buy piece of head plastic in embers of the sale

Wingpig also at Haymarket Station, negotiating the moon crater surface and heading into town-wards.
I was coming out of station negotiating static taxis, having risked the £1,000 fine for using the Haymarket bike rack and not being a Scotrail customer (so the sign says).

I was just going Haymarket Terrace-West Maitland-Torphichen-Morrison-Dalry-Henderson after exiting the Roseburn Path at Coates rather than compete with the P4S for the limited resources through Roseburn. How come that eastbound crater doesn't warrant coning-off like the one in the Morrison St cycle lane a couple of months back?

Seen loads of p4s bikes on cars coming down gorgie earlier.

Anth, tweaking his sleeves and cap-brim, waiting at the front of the queue to leave Piersfield Terrace for London Road.

Possible necro-spotted; Was that kaputnik in Peter's Yard last Thursday with a cute wee Lab puppy? I was looking at your Flickr account and the shades seemed familiar.

Possibly my first SPOT.
? Laidback amongst a sizeable group of riders at the Musselburgh end of the Esk river cycle path. Just before 1 pm.

Anne Carter memorial ride. CTC augmented by members of the Waverley Tennis and Sqaush club. Led by another forumer - Liz.

Arellcat poised to turn right to Longstone this am. I had terrible specialized roubaix top on all black and white and red all over.

I was in Peters Yard on Thursday morning (I think), but it may have been Tuesday. Or Wednesday. I don't have a cute puppy though. I was likely to have been lowering the tone of the place by being in lycra shorts and tee.

Hrm. The cute wee puppy belonged to an older gent sporting a white beard, but I'd swear I saw it with the possibly-you-chap for a bit. The PYC was indeed decked in lycra shorts, a tee and shades.

If I was carrying a large yellow courier bag with a plank of wood sticking out and if it was the morning when there was a purple tandem outside then that was me.
I didn't notice the puppy. It probably found the smell of my shoes after a summer's cycling quite interesting.

The FamilyBike looks interesting, but given the name isn't very Google friendly I've not found a reference for it. Looks like "chopper" style handlebars making space for a large basket.
Anyone else got a URL for it?
Oh, and *woo-hoo* I made the 1,500-th post!
