I favour the latter, allows canal towpath access to Edinburgh. Guess depends where your amigo is going to in Edinburgh. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15305#post-196158 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 17:18:09 +0000 HankChief 196158@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just watch out if you use bike racks on top of your car as the car parks have height barriers. .. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15305#post-196145 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 13:54:07 +0000 Roibeard 196145@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Perfectly OK for all Edinburgh P&amp;R sites, including those managed by other councils than Edinburgh (e.g. Sherrifhall is in Midlothian).</p> <p>There is also the extensive use of informal park and ride, with many folk bringing their car in to the edge of the permit holder zones - this may provide a nicer route than the official car parks, as you could park beside the appropriate cycle route.</p> <p>Combine browsing of the permit areas:</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20083/parking_permits/577/parking_permit_map" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20083/parking_permits/577/parking_permit_map</a></p> <p>Or on street parking tariffs (roughly coincides):</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20085/parking_spaces/507/parking_bay_locations" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20085/parking_spaces/507/parking_bay_locations</a></p> <p>With Cycle Streets:</p> <p><a href="http://edinburgh.cyclestreets.net/journey/" rel="nofollow">http://edinburgh.cyclestreets.net/journey/</a></p> <p>Or the Innertube map (yes, we know there's a glaring hole in the innertube!):</p> <p><a href="http://www.innertubemap.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.innertubemap.com/</a></p> <p>And you can find a nice offroad route from your chosen parking spot to your destination - the official P&amp;R are along arterial bus routes, so not so nice on which to cycle...</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15305#post-196144 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 13:46:16 +0000 richardlmpearson 196144@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes. I've done the same from Hermiston. No problems. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15305#post-196139 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 13:32:12 +0000 tk 196139@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>One of my friends is likely to be doing some work within Edinburgh but it's too far for him to cycle all the way (he lives in the West of Scotland). To avoid central parking charges, can you use the park and ride at Ingliston or Hermiston Gait to 'Park and Ride (a bike)' rather than getting on the bus or tram? </p> <p>I know some park and ride facilities need your ride ticket before you can exit. Is it the same in Edinburgh or is cycling from them allowed? </p>
