Oh dear! I am not filled with confidence that my brand new, sealed in the box, tech that could save mine or my buddies life in an avalanche has no screws holding it together ๐ฌ๐คฏ BCA Tracker3 @AvalancheSafety@AvalancheGeeks@AvalancheAcad
@DrouthyScot@Edinburgh_CC Excuse #5: You're on a group ride with your local cycling club. Travelling along at an average pace of 20-25mph towards the Lang Whang.
@DrouthyScot@Edinburgh_CC Excuse #4: the Water of Leith is not treated in icy / snowy weather so it's safer on the main road where the ploughs and gritters have cleared and treated the surface.
@DrouthyScot@Edinburgh_CC Excuse #3: dog walkers don't want cyclists on the Water of Leith. It's a hostile environment and dogs are not always under control.
@DrouthyScot@Edinburgh_CC Excuse #1: it's not safe in the dark on Water of Leith. The route is unlit and escape routes are few and steep. Not suitable for commutes between October & March.
@BalernoCinema@BalernoSchool @Deanparkprimary HNY! I DM'd you to ask you to take my email address off your mailing list in October. Would you be able to pick up the request please?
@david_mccraw I've been taking the quiet route via HW / Gyle since starting hybrid working in June due to the WoL works. WoL has been my regular commute for years. Thoroughly disappointed, but not surprised at the finish. ๐ซค
@david_mccraw I almost went straight into that this morning on my first commute down the WoL. Things like this, and the rough gravel makes it much less desirable to commute on.
@almuckersie@JimDensham Of course it wasn't me, because you would have seen the other 2 cyclists behind me, and that makes three...four...five...any more? #LanarkRoad ๐๐
@CouncillorCowdy 1 mile of isolated lanes does not make a cycle-safe city! Cycled LR on Thu but battled through Currie & JG queues first. Cycled the super-wide Colinton Rd on sunny Sat cos it was in direction I needed to go! Please support and build more - then you'll see people on bicycles ๐๐
