Underused

Two of these all weather cycles were installed several months ago in the Meadows but I rarely see anyone using them. Whether they are too public, too basic or too universal a size for Joe Public, they certainly don't rank as competition with the sleek ones in the nearby gym, but then being free and en plain air must count for something, and so it was a welcome revelation to see, as I passed early this morning, a lady jogger breaking stride to give this one a twirl.

Being as you know obsessed with the weather this summer, I would like to mention the murkiness of the early morning obliterating Arthur's Seat and giving rise to humidity of 95% - we could be in Malaysia except for the temperature being roughly half of that in the latter country.
Currently as I type, Arthur and his seat have re emerged from the gloom, the humidity has fallen to 85% and the sun is trying hard to pop out from under a resistant duvet of cloud.

His Lordship's knees are meeting up with a consultant orthopod this afternoon. We await the news of their fate with bated breath.
