Congratulations, @Edwardoka!
Which 'other side' is this - are you going to become an Eastie?
Or is it a north/south other side?

Good things come to those who ride around Arran in mid-week, it seems! On the same day as young Louch I too have a new job, this time on the other side of the country!
I will need to work out where I'm going to live but more importantly I need to work out whether I need to update the Triban to a tank-like year-round commuting bike or just pretend to be a hipster on the singlespeed
By that do you mean the capital (slightly superior) side ?
I think 'hipster' suits you to perfection ....

North Eastie (Dundee to be precise) so no more excuses for not getting better at climbing! Looking forward to exploring one of only a few parts of Scotland I don't know by bikeCongratulations, @Edwardoka!

Maybe plastic hip-ster
The guy who interviewed me said that there's quite a lot of cycling clubs around Dundee, the countryside looks practically like it's designed for excellent riding, and the city itself isn't a sprawling great mess like Glasgow (the main reason I don't go north very often is that I can't be bothered puggling through miles of concrete just to get a whiff of fresh air)
Plus there's always the thought of invading Fife just to wind up @Col5632 and @Fubar ...

Sorry that I ended up accidentally derailing your question... so yeah, does anyone have a bike bag they can lend @format?
I'm absolutely broke - I can only afford this holiday cause I've been planning for it for a year or so - so I'm trying to do it on as low a budget as possible...
Like I said, I have a big cardboard bike box I can use if I need to. Just thought I'd see if any generous soul wants to lend me a proper bag first. No big deal!
Thanks Edwardoka

Coming down with a serious case of n+1 syndrome, I blame @Fubar planting the thought in my head by going into a bike shop for a tyre and walking out with a new bike on order...
I'm quite tempted by this
(I kind of wish I hadn't sold my Genesis Flyer, which is what drew me to the maker initially.) Alternatively there is this, though I'm not too wowed by the group-set and not sure about the brakes either... I guess it's £300 cheaper for a reason! Purely speculation at the moment, but it's fun looking!
I may need to get a bigger flat to accommodate any more bikes though!
