He thought the cyclist died as the road was closed for so long. Luckily it looks like he's ok. Tram tracks are proving to be a nightmare :-( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11588#post-132153 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 18:30:00 +0000 ARobComp 132153@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://twitter.com/EdinCityPolice/status/399851610345848832" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/EdinCityPolice/status/399851610345848832</a></p> <p>They're ok thankfully.
