BUT There's a case in today's ENews where someone came off after apparently being 'forced' into the tracks at effectively no angle - so that's perhaps an issue for the actual road layout/markings. <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1483#post-14066" rel="nofollow">http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1483#post-14066</a> Don't know if Croydon has anything to teach Edinburgh(?) <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4127/5057565817_45dfe72859.jpg"> <a href="http://bit.ly/9Mvn2l" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/9Mvn2l</a> smsm1 on "New 'cycling with trams' video" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1475#post-13989 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 22:27:44 +0000 smsm1 13989@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ In the many times I've cycled over the tram tracks on the Croydon Tramlink, I've only once come off when I crossed them at the wrong angle when trying to get through a set of lights whilst still green. As with any cycling, you just need to be careful with how you do it.

That was probably my mistake, because although it was bone dry, I crossed the rails at just too shallow an angle and my front wheel bumped across, hesitated, then bumped back into the groove before being made to go where I wanted it. Fortunately my ninja cycling skillz saved the day, but it was a close run thing. druidh on "New 'cycling with trams' video" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1475#post-13986 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:56:14 +0000 druidh 13986@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Bluddy cyclists blocking the pavements! chdot on "New 'cycling with trams' video" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1475#post-13984 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:46:19 +0000 chdot 13984@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Intelligence kaputnik on "New 'cycling with trams' video" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1475#post-13983 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:43:48 +0000 kaputnik 13983@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Council Generated I....? steveo on "New 'cycling with trams' video" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1475#post-13980 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:32:37 +0000 steveo 13980@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ That is quite obviously CGI, we all know these are just fibre glass mock-ups even the so called test vehicles in Spain! kaputnik on "New 'cycling with trams' video" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1475#post-13978 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:20:35 +0000 kaputnik 13978@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ an Edinburgh tram moving! barely!
