There was one cyclist in the shop when I arrived and another waiting outside when I was leaving, so it's a popular place. You can bring your bike inside which is really handy. </p> <p>The decor is cycling shirts and frames. I think the owner keeps his commuting bike in the shop as well (at least the bike looked dirty enough to be used as a regular commuting bike). They stock tubes and little bottles of chain lube (useful info for @IWARTS).</p> <p>I had stovies, cappucino cheesecake and tea. Stovies come with cake, I was told. All very nice. </p> <p>There is a carpark round the corner with benches and tables overlooking the waterfront and the bridges and that's where I had my lunch. </p> <p>I wish there was a nice route to S Queensferry from Livi so I could visit it more often. I went through East Calder, Newbridge and Kirkliston. I definitely prefer my more rural roads south-west of Livingston. At least no traffic jam in Kirkliston for a change. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=157&page=10#post-340140 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 16:08:56 +0000 unhurt 340140@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Iain McR will want to judge the bacon roll quality. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=157&page=10#post-340125 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 09:29:35 +0000 bill 340125@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Recently was recommended this place:</p> <p>Ferry Tasty<br /> 16 Hopetoun rd<br /> EH30 9RA South Queensferry</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/FerryTasty/">Facebook page</a></p> <p><blockquote>we welcome quite literally any cyclist even medical profs..always got our cyclist only deal on £4 for a cake/bacon roll and a coffee...</blockquote></p> <p>The owner is a cyclist and post photos from his rides on his days off.<br /> The food looks good and sounds very friendly.
