Training for Tramlines

[MajorMantra]

HJ, when is the next session running? I may have to learn how to bunny hop a fixed wheel. No, it isn't a skill I have in my repertoire.

I can't do it either - let me know if you can figure out the technique.

I cycled along Princes Street on Saturday and did not have a huge crash. Do I still need to attend class?

Let's concentrate on the good - Princes Street is very smooth!

Photo from the tram training?





There is a video come, but I don't know when...

How odd that you have such immaculate tarmac down the middle. I can see how this would make it very difficult to see the tram lines but on the other hand you don't have to deal with any of the concrete so have it much easier.

I'm not sure that this is the final finish, they opened up Princes Street pretty smartish in time for the Hogmany party. I suspect it will all close off again in the new year. The surface has already started to crumble alongside the lines and I recall seeing someone from the construction company on the news saying that this was just a temporary glitch as the weather was too wet to apply something.

 

[HJ]

The surface isn't as good as that all the way along



also there are the setts at the tram stop



Fun... not!

Now I can see why there have been accidents.

Hmmm yeah, can't say I fancy that much. Think I'll stick to Queen Street for the commute... so that means I'll just have to get up Leith Walk somehow.....

Can't you use the trams in Leith Walk? They must be running by now, Leith Walk was all dug up when I was there in the summer.

Trams??? Edinburgh only does holes and traffic diversions. I think the trams are planned for sometime after the next Olympics or is that the Olympics after the London one.

More about trams, just in case anyone is interested...
