It is crystal clear they have finished laying the new cobbles and have even put internal fences up to stop themgoing onto the canal. I HATE having to then put up with their flippin road works delaying me even further as they seem to have a new excuse every day to block it up again, granted today it is getting a new smooth shiny surface and crossing island but come ON people. My other option is what? Going down Dalry and getting stuck at the lights that give all priority to trams? THen cycling along Shankwick? No thank you I will avoid trams for as long as I can #neversetfootononesincethedemoonPrincesStreet<br /> #thecanalwastherefirst </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17607#post-246826 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 11:27:47 +0000 emuir 246826@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yesterday afternoon my rear tyre was punctured on a suspiciously placed thorn branch before the aqueduct over the bypass at Hermiston (east side). On hind-side I should have stopped to take a picture and move it but at the time I wasn't sure and was then past it, only to wake-up to a flat.</p> <p>Anyone else had problems wit this? Worth looking out for anyway - pain in the ass fixing </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12923#post-155793 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 23:20:55 +0000 chrisfl 155793@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've just spotted that a new route has been opened up between the canal and Tollcross. <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/55.94261/-3.20506">http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/55.94261/-3.20506</a></p> <p>(impressively someone else beat me to adding it to OSM). Nice and wide some plenty of room to cycle. Will add a followup picture in a moment. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10918#post-121807 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 13:26:00 +0000 LivM 121807@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-23695984">BBC News</a></p> <p>"A thief stole a woman's purse while she tended to her husband who was having a seizure."<br /> ...</p> <p>"The incident happened between 08:45 and 09:00 on Monday on the Union Canal towpath in the Wester Hailes area of Edinburgh.</p> <p>Police said the couple had been walking their dog when the husband suffered a seizure. His wife had used her jacket to support his head.</p> <p>The thief was described as being white, about 5ft 6in tall, of slim build with light brown hair.</p> <p>He had two front teeth missing, a scar on his right cheek and was wearing a dark hooded top and grey jogging bottoms with orange stripes."</p> <p>This was on Monday but at the tail end of the morning canal rush hour so there might be a cyclist who saw something. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5931#post-63432 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:40:47 +0000 spytfire 63432@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As per this month - when suits folk?<br /> Friday 27th is the day before pedal on parliament...<br /> And I will have been in the pub again the night before so strong coffee is good. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=231#post-1757 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 17:10:59 +0000 SRD 1757@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <br />
