The real killer outside the station is the constraint on getting a good angle across the obstacle by the presence of a car right behind you. I feel much more at ease on the yards because of this. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14829#post-188888 Tue, 19 May 2015 21:45:49 +0000 kaputnik 188888@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And that's the "improved" design for that bit of the "path"! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14829#post-188883 Tue, 19 May 2015 19:35:18 +0000 Fountainbridge 188883@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I originally took the first photo as an example of a poor pedestrian crossing, then noticed the cycle route. Seems even more lethal than the junction outside the station.</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/sWiWQo"><img src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7710/17679868118_e162754e4d_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/sWiWQo">150125154750IMG_0142</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/130059894@N04/">Paul Fountain</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/sWiYUJ"><img src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7669/17679875098_a4ae62ff21_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/sWiYUJ">150125154744IMG_0141</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/130059894@N04/">Paul Fountain</a>, on Flickr </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14829#post-188738 Mon, 18 May 2015 13:15:44 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 188738@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I hit HY westbound about 7pm on Friday, to be met with a cyclist down between the two tram lines. He was being well attended to by a pedestrian and a couple of other cyclists. Seemed to be in too much pain to be moved from the road.</p> <p>Hope he's recovering well. </p> <p>Its a horrible bit there. I'm far more cautious/worried about coming down there than on Haymarket Terrace, despite the relative absence of traffic.</p> <p>Had to detour a wee while later on Friday evening as the Police were closing Market Street because of some poor sod threatening to jump of the North Bridge. Hope they are OK too </p>
