Looks like the route is blocked by a concreted in umbrella</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/vmFM3E"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/293/19268437094_4f623f832f.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/vmFM3E">150721142641IMG_2392</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/130059894@N04/">Paul Fountain</a>, on Flickr </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15146#post-193570 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 19:47:12 +0000 Fountainbridge 193570@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nothing showing on the tram plans for this area.</p> <p>The drop kerb on shandwick place has been there since the end of the tram works. I'm guessing it's meant to dump cyclists at 45 degrees to the tram lines for traveling down Queensferry Street</p> <p>If CEC do put in a bike route I fully expect it to be closed when the restaurant (formerly Rutland) wants to put it's table and chairs out.</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/wd4L19"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/293/19827234352_ce4785ab93_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/wd4L19">Capture</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/130059894@N04/">Paul Fountain</a>, on Flickr </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15146#post-193554 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 21:11:54 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 193554@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Of course a complaint about the angle it dumps you out at is presuming it's a cycle route, and without having any symbols it's designation isn't clear (nor, presumably, yet legal to cycle that way). Would make sense to allow the left turn for bikes, though wouldn't like that crossing when busy with pedestrians. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15146#post-193544 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 12:08:10 +0000 kaputnik 193544@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I especially love the way it dumps you onto the tracks at that angle. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15146#post-193543 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 11:43:30 +0000 Harts Cyclery 193543@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxRH-GcbOb4" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxRH-GcbOb4</a></p> <p>.</p> <p>A wee video I took last night. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15146#post-193491 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 14:29:37 +0000 Harts Cyclery 193491@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cycled down Lothian Road last night and did my usual cut across the pavement to head across to Queensferry Street and...what's this! A dropped kerb and another dropped kerb at the end of the diagonal. </p> <p>Have the Council finally got the message? Will it painted in between to indicate it's a proper route for bikes? </p>
