Bike survey in edinburgh?

This morning, about quarter to 8 at the busy corner on Chamber's Street, there were three cyclists with clipboards looking at the traffic and ticking boxes/writing stuff. Anyone know what that was about? They were the sort of cyclist that smokes a pipe and recoils in horror from lycra - could it have been Spokes?
I was paying attention because one of them had been in front of me earlier, and gone over a pedestrian crossing instead of waiting for the green light

Well Spokes is about utility cycling (inc commuting) so lycra isn't high up the list, but I'm not sure the pipes are compulsory. Perhaps you have a less divers (*) bunch up your way.
* - I meant diverse
Training, highway design and increasing cycle numbers are important to safety. Helmets are just a red herring.0 -
Oo er missus.
I guess it must have been Spokes, they put out a wee newletter full of facts and numbers about cycling in edinburgh and surrounds. It's a bit impenetrable!
I do like them though, despite the pipes.

Might not be because of a need for newsletter stats - ours does the cycle count on behalf of the council.Training, highway design and increasing cycle numbers are important to safety. Helmets are just a red herring.0

The citycycling.co.uk guys are mostly in Edinburgh too - could've been them I guess.0
