Fimm has confirmed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16283#post-217389 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 16:10:48 +0000 fimm 217389@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@spytfyre yes it is (we were down that way on Sunday). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16283#post-217386 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 15:47:26 +0000 spytfyre 217386@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo is the WoL path still closed for the landslide down Dean village way? Last time I went it was worse than I had ever seen it before... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16283#post-217291 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 18:59:19 +0000 gembo 217291@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is no doubt Eedinburgh is miles ahead of anywhere else in Scotland for cycling and we need to celebrate this and build on it.</p> <p>WoL path, tow path and innocent all in use for me today </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16283#post-217244 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 13:24:08 +0000 algo 217244@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's a bit infuriating the spin that the cycling "Czar" uses to account for his figures - for example in the 310km of cycle lanes in Glasgow he's citing, he's including 80 odd km of bus lanes - all explained better here:</p> <p><a href="https://glasgowcycleman.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/305km-of-cycle-network-you-kidding/" rel="nofollow">https://glasgowcycleman.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/305km-of-cycle-network-you-kidding/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16283#post-217232 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 12:15:52 +0000 wishicouldgofaster 217232@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nelly - he has a point there. I would add as well that cycle paths often have broken glass on them (Saughton Park last night)and some have been made cycling unfriendly deliberately by the council (Broomhouse speed reduction measures) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16283#post-217226 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 11:29:28 +0000 Nelly 217226@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My boy (10 YO) said to me last night that he prefers cycling on the road to bike paths (which initially I found odd) until he explained that the roads actually 'go places' whereas the paths feel like 'places to go'.</p> <p>Quite perceptive, and I kind of understand what he means, because even in this 'cycle friendly (sic) city', you usually need to use a road to get to any segregated paths (and unless you are going for a Sunday pootle, you will need to get back on a road to do anything meaningful). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16283#post-217225 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 11:28:03 +0000 Min 217225@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No surprises there.
