It's reasonably near the staff entrance and is possibly covered by CCTV but I'll still generally park at whatever happens to be available nearer the north door when parking there after dark when the other doors are shut. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12999#post-157118 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 22:43:09 +0000 giantsbrae 157118@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well there is only 2 doors,so there for,the café end </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12999#post-157113 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 22:08:30 +0000 Dave 157113@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've always thought it was odd that there's a bike parking sign there and no bike racks, literally about two feet from the main entrance where people are streaming in and out.</p> <p>Where do you mean by 'the other end'? If I plan to visit Asda Newhaven I always have the car. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12999#post-157111 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 22:03:02 +0000 giantsbrae 157111@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There are plenty bike rails at Asda Newhaven at the other end,We asked them to move them out into the open because the first site was undercover,excellent for stealing,and they did,sheessh </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12999#post-157095 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:23:42 +0000 wingpig 157095@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/wingpig/10215071574/"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2826/10215071574_f48da58786_n.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/wingpig/10215071574/">Asda Kinnaird e2013-05-02_21-07-08_7188</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/wingpig/">wingpig</a>, on Flickr</p> <p> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/wingpig/5375076002/"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5206/5375076002_72db84c5ec_n.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/wingpig/5375076002/">Asda Newhaven</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/wingpig/">wingpig</a>, on Flickr</p> <p> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/wingpig/9686707543/"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5543/9686707543_548d0218a7_n.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/wingpig/9686707543/">Asda Newhaven trolley shelter park e2012-01-03_22-34-54_0297</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/wingpig/">wingpig</a>, on Flickr </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12999#post-157090 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:48:56 +0000 Snowy 157090@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I recall thinking the Tesco-provided bike racks at Hermiston Gate were pretty flimsy. About 2 mins with a hacksaw and a bike would be a goner. Still, at least they've put provision near the entrance (unlike Asda, who treat all Edinburgh cyclists as undesirable aliens).</p> <p>The best option is to use one of the covered bike park areas in the main car park eg just outside Decathlon, and walk an extra 100 yards. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12999#post-157087 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:14:57 +0000 Nelly 157087@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Tesco hermiston gait is also a joke. Cycvlists chain up all over the place, including at the railing next to emergency exit.</p> <p>Clueless. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12999#post-157084 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:12:09 +0000 minus six 157084@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Each Asda store seems to have its own set up, so its not a global company policy thing.</p> <p>eg</p> <p>Asda Dunfermline: </p> <p>No cycle stands whatsoever, but plenty room for them</p> <p>Asda D-Bay: </p> <p>Rack for three bikes, permanent fixture</p> <p>no cycling advice poster </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12999#post-157071 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 16:02:10 +0000 wingpig 157071@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Had Asda not yet obscured the poster with their gardening display, as they are wont to do to their cycle parking at this time of year? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12999#post-157066 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:23:34 +0000 tammytroot 157066@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Apologies if this has been posted before and I missed it.<br /> So, stopped in at Asda nr Fort Kinnaird this morning to get a couple of things. Locked bike up at the wheel benders next to the main entrance, And noticed a big poster/notice with "cycling advice" on it. Talk about the Niceway code! Basically telling cyclists what not to do to inconvenience motorists. (At least that was the message I took from it). I failed to see equivalent notices around the car park telling motorists to check before opening their doors, use indicators/mirrors etc. I will try to get a picture of the poster sometime. Not sure if this was Asda or some other organisations poster. Ah well, back to Tescos. </p>
