I drive with THE FEAR of doing this with bikes on top of the car... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20990#post-361409 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 14:21:53 +0000 Morningsider 361409@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sorry to hear this renrut. I did once see a chap at Straiton load his new bike from Halfords onto a (new?) roof rack and then drive it straight into the very solid 2m height barrier - the bike was well mangled and roof rack ripped off. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20990#post-361405 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 13:34:16 +0000 Arellcat 361405@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Shamefully (illegally?) there is no warning sign for Hermiston P&amp;R before one reaches the height restriction barrier.</p> <p>Straiton P&amp;R is 1.9m; Sheriffhall P&amp;R is 2.0m; Newcraighall doesn't have a height restriction at all, and I don't think Ingliston has one either. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20990#post-361402 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 12:31:10 +0000 renrut 361402@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bike's ok ;-) </p> <p>Roof rack slid back a few inches and has dented the roof though :-( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20990#post-361400 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 12:20:33 +0000 steveo 361400@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Damm. How bad is the damage? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20990#post-361399 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 12:06:51 +0000 renrut 361399@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I drove to Hermiston park n ride to park and cycle to work this morning. Unfortunately there's a 1.9m height restriction barrier, that I didn't see.....</p> <p>I would have thought the council would encourage bikes on roof racks there. There aren't many obvious places to park if you want to cycle part of your commute into Edinburgh.</p> <p>To anyone planning on parking and cycling, be aware some Park and rides do have them (Straiton &amp; Hermiston) whereas others dont (Ingleston) </p>
