@POPScotland of course! What's not to like about a bit of wind?

@John_Lauder @sustrans @transcotland yes, but only if it actually happens, which requires effective enforcement-otherwise it's just words

@wikileaks @cddr that's a good point, well made.

It's funny how Western leaders talk about "freedom of speech" while continuing their attempt to prosecute Assange for espionage.

@greenmsps @CyclingEdin how frustrating and how sad that there's no chance whatever of meeting any active travel goals

@greenmsps @CyclingEdin sorry to have to say that, but make that: no chance. It'd be more accurate.

@magnatom @FMcAveety 100% agree. Thank heavens you're OK. What a waste of time - what would car drivers say if their roads were left to rot?

@magnatom @POPScotland @alexjohnstone61 delighted to hear that you're OK though, despite the neds and the difficult weather ..

@CyclingEdin @neilinglis @LAHinds @AndrewDBurns @SpokesLothian great idea, but you have to actually enforce it. Is that at all likely?

@magnatom Not too many, I guess .. there aren't actually too many politicians who actually cycle on actual roads, of course ..

windy ride home tonight - so much that on a recumbent, I overtook some upright bikes going into the wind uphill - can you believe that?

@magnatom @POPScotland @alexjohnstone61 Same here - maybe bad weather makes drivers irritated and they take it out on a convenient target?

Playing recorder is remarkably concentration-intensive, and can be tiring .. off to bed now ..

Just practicing for the recorder concert we are giving with the SRP at St.Augustine's Church (George IV bridge) on Monday 15th at 19:00

@bernidymet It does seem to me that God is everything worthwhile in life .. if you miss out God, you miss out everything worthwhile

@bernidymet a tragedy, but also a total waste of time.. after all, what is the point of life, never mind church, without God?

Sadly, it was rainy and I couldn't read the license plate on the head-cam footage to send to the police .. Cycling is a hi-risk sport ..

Also had first "punishment pass" by car; deliberately cut in as it passed, to leave 6" to spare, hitting rh hand, bending rh mirror ..
