I could go down ardmillan to Haymarket and then along to princes street. Or I can go straight on along to fountain pk and in along the cowgate.</p> <p>I opt for the latter.</p> <p>If I have to go near princes street I go along George st then cut down from St. Andrews sq as it is easier to cross tram lines there.</p> <p>Whilst I agree that cyclists should be allowed to use any suitable road, I would say using roads north or south of princes street makes sense and that commuters should consider these detours to their routes as viable options. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12022#post-139475 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 12:46:28 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 139475@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got three comments in, these people really are mindless idiots who I hope are proud of the bile they're able to summon up for their fellow man. And I hope they never make a mistake, or require any sympathy from anyone. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12022#post-139474 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 12:34:05 +0000 gibbo 139474@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>to eens usual hateful reaction</em></p> <p>I guess some people have nothing going on in their lives, so they fill up time by posting hateful things online. ("See ya, wouldn't want to be ya".)</p> <p>I no longer cycle eastwards on Princes St. It's just too dangerous, IMO. </p> <p>But I have the luxury of picking and choosing my bike rides. Commuters don't always have the same luxury. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12022#post-139380 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 18:47:50 +0000 14Westfield 139380@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://m.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/tram-line-accident-for-princes-street-cyclist-1-3264001">evening news report</a></p> <p>Looks like the first tramline fall that has required an ambulance and road closure - to eens usual hateful reaction.</p> <p>All depressingly predictable.m </p>
