flexxtrialer Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hey guys, I just moved to edinburgh a couple of weeks ago. I brought my bike (Fans evolution 20") an already checked out some spots around the parlament. Would be great to join/ start a session with locals to get to know more spots. Any spot or session suggestions more than welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hey, There are about 5/6 riders in Edinburgh at the moment! There is not a huge amount of spots in Edinburgh but if you are in Bristo Square in the evenings you might bump into either myself or a guy called Alex. Every so often a group ride is organised, there probably won't be too many over the winter due to unpredictable weather. If you go to Ridden.It I've added most of the spots in Edinburgh.

kevind Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi Andrew, We have a barn out in East Lothian we are slowly setting up to ride in over the winter months, dry and lights. PM me your number.Rab comes out from Edinburgh to ride. There are around 10 (novice to inter level)of us riding out and around East Lothian most days. We were at Port Seton yesterday all afternoon riding on the rocks at the beach. Anybody is welcome just PM me. Hoping to do Tuesday night this week and set up more sections.

flexxtrialer Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hey, thanks for the quick responses. Mailed you my contact by pm. Would be nice to ride together. The barn sounds like an interesting project. Can you upload some pictures? I got one question concerning riding downtown. What's the policy with the police. Do they care?

The police are usually okay with riding. My advice is don't ride on the pavements too much, only dicks on BMXs do that. If you are riding by the Parliament the grassy area is absolutely fine to ride on all day (I have asked the police and they are fine with that). The area in front on the Parliament can be a bit hit and miss depending on which police officer is on duty. If you are there before 5pm and there are hardly any members of the public about, it is usually okay. Although if there is an officer standing about just go up to them and ask! Just be polite and understanding if they say no, technically they can arrest us for riding pavements etc so best to try and keep them on side! I got your PM, I'll give you a text when I'm next out. Could you possibly also send your email? Whenever a ride is arranged it is usually done through email and I can add you to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
