Local business would surely help one another ?In fact, what about asking the ferry operators? they must have access to somewhere on the pier ?<br /> scott </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10730#post-118293 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 13:10:47 +0000 cb 118293@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It will be hoaching with folk there on a hot weekend so you might find your bike being leaned against/sat on/used to tie dogs to, etc. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10730#post-118283 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 12:04:43 +0000 crowriver 118283@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks cb. I note there are some unobtrusive 'hoop' stands <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/2EIY9">here</a> which could be handy for the boat, looks like the bikes will be adequately supported by the railings adjacent... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10730#post-118278 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:59:18 +0000 Baldcyclist 118278@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Or there, behind the blue car, almost right next to the boat:</p> <p><a href="http://goo.gl/maps/1ecbT">http://goo.gl/maps/1ecbT</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10730#post-118274 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:28:01 +0000 cb 118274@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cycle racks here:</p> <p><a href="http://goo.gl/maps/rl8IW">http://goo.gl/maps/rl8IW</a></p> <p>There are also some either end of the parking area at the east end of town.<br /> And some at the Coop.</p> <p>These are spotable on Open Street Map.

There is a fence but if you lock multiple bikes up its harder to move them. There is seating at the east side, then just at the back of the pub (not in the car park) on the grassed area you can lock your bikes up out of sight of passers by but in full view of pub customers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10730#post-118268 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:07:32 +0000 SRD 118268@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Is it just a case of locking to railings/signpost on the seafront"</p> <p>That's what we've always done. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10730#post-118267 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:03:48 +0000 crowriver 118267@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Planning a family excursion to South Queensferry*, to partake of a cruise on the Maid of the Forth. Only snag is, I can't think of anywhere to lock the bikes up for an hour and a half! I've passed through the place often enough, but never had cause to lock up for any length of time.</p> <p>Is it just a case of locking to railings/signpost on the seafront? Or is there more 'suitable' provision anywhere? If anyone has local knowledge, please let me know.</p> <p>* - will try out the new path: woohoo! </p>
