@Min look for the beard on the blue bike

@chdot I'm not sure what you mean...
Well I assume you'll be approaching from different directions so it'll be like jousting. You'd be able to do a split screen edit.
Then one of you'll have to turn round and race...

Bah, you part timers! I'll just have to see about catching you at the weekends ;-)

Dave I usually cycle at ~5pm - I got an unusually early start today...
Posted 14 years ago # -
Hmm, unfortunately I didn't make it! I hope there will be another opportunity. I'll get my lance serviced in anticipation.

oo-er!

You have a dirty mind but I have just realised that reference might not be obvious, Chdot mentioned jousting so I thought lance!

"Chdot mentioned jousting so I thought lance!"
Quite right!
And when you've tried that there's someone on here who knows about bicycle polo.

Mystery bike. Is there more than one orange recumbent in Edinburgh query.- Is it orange Dave?
Is it parked somewhere in the region of Perth St?
This is a LB customer's bike I reckon. Will look like one in the Bollard Video? That's the LB demo Fuego but is actually smaller frame.
Nazca Fuego with SON / B&M lighting used for commuting - 30+ mile round trip. Very comfy and client carries a fair amount too.

You want someone to pass you on a windy day then tuck in behind them - let them take your wind.
@Min - much easier to chase a person in front than to stay ahead with no one to chase, also hills are a factor in slowing down the larger homo sapien.

@Min - No worries, will catch you another time, today I don't know when I will be on the road home, depends on how healthy my flexi time is...
@Dave - glad to see someone else saying "oo-er" before me ;)Posted 14 years ago # -
I'll have a window of opportunity on Friday, will take care not to miss it this time. ;-)

Stolen from Twitter
"Mr competitive MTB on the commute this morning - blasted off from every set of lights. I wasn't really in the mood to race him.
So instead I drafted him while riding sat up with no-hands on the bars. I'm not competitive, I've just got more style."

Yes, I was that no-handed cyclist. Some mornings it's more fun to watch someone toil rather than leave them behind.
As I posted later, I'm not a fast cyclist, but I'm a fast commuter...

Getting a wee bit trendy there Anth ;-)
Posted 14 years ago # -
no hands eh Anth?

Couldn't help myself today, despite having a stinking cold and wheezing on my MTB I somehow thought it would be a good idea to draft the shaved legged roadie on the carbon bike on that uphill bit of Corstorphine road.
Did quite well. For about 5 minutes. Then sense intervened. Testosterone, eh?
Posted 14 years ago # -
@Min - I'll be on the same path starting in Scotland Yard park an entering Rodney St Tunnel just after 5pm this evening, good luck catching me ;P

Who airzounded me and then overtook me heading uphill on the Innocent on Tuesday just after 5pm?
Posted 14 years ago # -
@Kirst - I never zound another cyclist although I am getting tempted to zound them when they are coming in the other direction behind a pedestrian on their side of the path and don't warn the pedestrian
Also I don't go the Innocent wayPosted 14 years ago # -
That rules you out then! I didn't mind the zounding. I had my mp3 player on anyway. I must apologise to whoever I went past this morning as I was singing along to the Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé album with full-on operatic trills.

"I was singing along to the Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé album with full-on operatic trills"
Why does no-one have their video cameras at a time like this??

"@Min - I'll be on the same path starting in Scotland Yard park an entering Rodney St Tunnel just after 5pm this evening, good luck catching me ;P "
Hmm, I'd need it since I'll still be at work then! Unfortunately I'm not normally around there at that time, it would just have been a few days in the last couple of weeks. Would I have got double points for passing someone as speedy sounding as "Spytfyre? :-)
I did have a roadie with muscly legs pass me this morning and briefly considered a chase. But only briefly.
