This is unrelated - but interesting -

I had terrible specialized roubaix top on all black and white and red all over.
I saw you, Gembo, but didn't recognise you! I think I was too busy studying your bike as you accelerated away from the lights.

Sistema Intercambiabile ("interchangeable") made the Family Bike. It was originally at http://www.family-bike.com but the site has gone. It was also mentioned in Velovision, issue 7 (September 2002):
"
The 'Family Bike', now being imported into the UK from Italy, puts the child right where you can see them - a bit like the 'Centric' child seat reviews in Velovision 5. But with this machine, the whole bike is designed for the task: the child fits between the splayed handlebars, and can face either forwards or backwards. A further seat can be fitted at the back of the bike, and various luggage options are also possible. Sunshades and raincovers for the child passengers are also available. All of the accessories are designed to be quickly interchangeable, so it should be a versatile family vehicle.

No photo, but if the bloke with two disc wheels who was heading west along Queen Street with both feet up on his half-height-step-through crossbar is known to anyone on here, please for and shake your head at him for me the next time you see him.

Where is Edinburgh Cycle chic when we need them?
Young woman, red spiky hair, I 'heart' Edinburgh shopping bag over shoulder, on big men's messenger/pashley guv'nor style bike, turning off Brunstfield Links onto Bruntsfield Place 8.50 or so this morning.

I think you mean "why don't I have a camera with me at all times"!

Spotted wingpig with photo gear on Kaimes this morning.
Spotted our man in black checking out the ongoing rebuilding of Newhaven railway station this afternoon. It was the only Doors Open Day place I'd been able to visit this weekend. The man in charge of the project was affable and very interesting to talk to.

"Spotted wingpig with photo gear on Kaimes this morning a few minutes too late to see anything happen."
FTFY.
I heard it just after I turned up Kaimes but still thought they were being done one by one, so continued up.

Oops! Actually I thought the same.
Still thing they should have done a domino trick.

"Back to spotted; A rider at Polwarth about half three ish ish heading out of town with big hair on a sky blue ladies frame roadbike, denim skirt and purple(?) tights, I was the green six wheeler (and trailer) who sat back to let you over the roundabout and got an acknowledgement, ta. :)
Anyone here? (waves again)" Great to hear about you!No it wasn't me! - I must say I haven't been on the bike for a while because of several long holidays, bad weather (I am very much a fair weather cyclist), having to visit various sites in Fife and in Englandshire and recently have a heavy cold!
Anyway, does that make 4 meninskirts now in the Edinburgh and environs?

Four? Ok, there's yourself, Jim the courier (allegedly fastest man in a skirt in town!), who are the two I have missed?

Plenty lightless cycling ninjas out last night.
Four other cyclists waiting to turn left into Shandon Place from Slateford Road this evening. Nothing particularly notable apart from it being the most bikes I ever remember being there.

Smudge :- "Four? Ok, there's yourself, Jim the courier (allegedly fastest man in a skirt in town!), who are the two I have missed?"
Anothermaninaskirt (AMIAS) has posted on this website and I thought this mysterious rider from Polworth was the fourth one - unless he is the courier!
I have also seen a couple of other guys in skirts - one going into the Kings Theatre (camouflage colours, box pleats) and another at my local Tesco (dark green, kilt style but not tartan)
Posted 13 years ago # -
Yes, Jim the courier lives in Polwarth (or at least parks his bike there). have never met him, but spotted him a couple of times. the hair and coloured tights are distinctive!
"and another at my local Tesco (dark green, kilt style but not tartan)"
I think I saw this maninaskirtnotonabike yesterday at george square/MMW.

"kilt style but not tartan"
Tartan is no longer 'essential' for kilts.

Indeed I will be wearing a tweed kilt to my Sister's wedding.

I seem to continually miss all this sartorial splendour. :-( the only time I have ever seen Jim the Courier wearing a skirt was at the folding bike race last year.

SRD I think I saw this maninaskirtnotonabike yesterday at george square/MMW.
If it was the same guy, he was of student age, and notonabike. The other one at the Kings was nearer 60, grey hair and beard and about 5ft nothing tall. Skirt was knee length - it was during the festival this year.
chdot Tartan is no longer 'essential' for kilts.
I realise that, but the word "kilt" does normally suggest plaid. I do remember seeing pictures of Alex Salmond sporting a pin-stripe kilt in New York and Vin Diesel wearing a black leather one in Edinburgh (I am sure there are others)

student age, and notonabike.
probably the same guy.
when i started working here i had a very tall thin student with a mohawk, who almost always wore a punk style kilt. student dress has gotten boring since then.
