The walk from Haymarket to work is just long enough to be annoying so I'm wondering if it would be better to cycle, but there isn't an obvious route. My work is in Argyle House on Lady Lawson St, but the bike store is round the back, off Kings Stables Road by the building site. Can anyone recommend a good route?</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Lizzie </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14395#post-180770 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 16:10:21 +0000 kbrame 180770@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have signed up for the Musselburgh RCC Tour of East Lothian event on Feb 22nd - my first one.<br /> The route map on the AUK site is a low resolution image that is not readable - the place names are pixellated. I don't see any other links to route maps or GPS files on the site - perhaps I am overlooking something.<br /> Can anyone point me in the direction of a route map or file?<br /> I have emailed the organiser, but no response yet.<br /> Thanks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10968#post-122751 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:40:14 +0000 newtoit 122751@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>Been lurking for a while and decided to take the plunge.<br /> I'm looking to start cycling to work and first things first, need a bike! Never really bought one before so I'm not sure where to start... I'm thinking of going for a Hybrid - I'd be riding about 7miles round trip each day from Liberton to the West End, and also going out and about now and again at the weekends. Quite keen to go out along the union canal, down the river from Mussy to Dalkeith, that sort of thing.</p> <p>I'm thinking I'd be wanting 700c wheels but not sure after that. My employer offers the Cycle to Work scheme but the bike would have to be bought from Halfords, so looking at their range I think the Carrera Crossfire 2 or Voodoo Marasa would be the type of thing I'm after - £250-350 price range. I would far rather buy from a small/local place if I can get something decent for a similar price, and take the hit on not getting it tax free, but everything I've seen in shop windows has been £500+ which is more than I can afford at this (very early) point in my career. Any guidance would be most welcome!</p> <p>Secondly, I was wondering if anyone can advise on the best route to take without getting mauled by a bus? I was thinking of heading down Kirk Brae, up the hill past Kings Buildings, along Blackford Road and down through the Grange and Marchmont, to go across the Meadows. Google's suggested route of riding down Liberton Brae, Newington Road etc seems rather intimidating to me... What would you good people suggest in that regards?</p> <p>Thanks very much in advance </p>
