Didn't have to dismount at all. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11544#post-131347 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:25:49 +0000 algo 131347@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>you did well - I asked if I could walk the bikes through (going the other way), and was told I was lazy and had to go the long way like everyone else, and to get a move on while I was at it.... it was pretty miserable weather though I didn't envy him standing there, but the signals not working didn't help the case for sympathy much at the time... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11544#post-131345 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:21:02 +0000 wingpig 131345@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Went that way this morning - East Preston Street was "closed - local access only" at the left-turn filter at Dalkeith Road but I and another cyclist were able to trundle right to the end, dismount to cross the coned single channel then resume on West Preston Street. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11544#post-131340 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:02:08 +0000 algo 131340@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>on Saturday I made the mistake of going along East Preston Street intending to get to the park via West Preston Street - my usual route with the trailer. I stupidly didn't realise that they are digging East Preston Street up - the lights were red but we were goaded into turning right (and "getting a bloody move on") by a man who I presumed had authority over the signals - so I was forced to RLJ and then go down to Blacket Avenue to come back up Dalkeith road accompanied by the heavy rain and moody drivers... </p> <p>In the unlikely event anyone hadn't noticed this, and was intending using that as a route - I'd go one street north instead.... hopefully it'll be fixed soon (perhaps it already is?) </p>
