I'm so confused about Waverley at the moment, is that the ramp you're allowed to cycle down, or not? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12120#post-141129 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 09:03:04 +0000 amir 141129@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In the top 1/4 of the ramp - the one that taxis can use. The cyclist was covered by a space blanket with police and another cyclist in attendance. No ambulance yet - Hope s/he is okay. </p>
