So you’ve invited several thousand people to Edinburgh on their bikes to tell their politicians they want to see a cycle friendly country. And come Friday evening the forecast is for heavy rain, and on Saturday morning the actuality is heavy rain, and you’re busy rewriting an expectations-managing press release …
and then something odd happens.
The rain stops. And the sun comes out.
And so did all the cyclists.
Nothing is free in this world, however. So I suppose I should not have been startled to look up this afternoon and discover that it was snowing.
Oh, and for those wondering how you carry bamboo on a bike? You ask a nice man to do it for you. Either that, or our head marshal is trying out for the Edinburgh University Quidditch team.
Town Mouse 
If I’d been near enough I’d have offered to carry the Bamboo on the Bakfiets. As it is, all I can do is look from here and say nice things about the awesome stuff you are doing… and dream of leaving Car Universe as soon as I can…
Next year!
