The crossing lights can be a real pain, but I mostly manage to get across without much - or any - waiting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13969#post-172878 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 10:01:52 +0000 Dave 172878@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ouch.</p> <p>Came close to being taken out here last week, when a 4x4 driver saw me coming around the roundabout and decided to drive out regardless. I ended up alongside the offside doors.</p> <p>It's still better than riding along the path and waiting half an hour for all the crossings. If only we had a political party that would deliver on presumed liability, rather than getting all Daily Mail when it comes to cycling, incidents like mine just wouldn't happen. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13969#post-172874 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 08:50:44 +0000 MeepMeep 172874@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cyclist down on Broomhouse Roundabout between the Broomhouse Drive and Bankhead Avenue exits when I walked to work this morning ~07:05.</p> <p>Looked like the rider was still down on the ground and a car was very close to where the bike was on its side. Won't speculate on cause of RTI.</p> <p>A few folk were already gathered around and a cyclist filtered through the standstill traffic and promptly dismounted to see everything ok so I didn't get involved. Heard sirens shortly after.</p> <p>Hope everything turns out ok for the rider and wishing them a speedy recovery. </p>
