As Nelly says, those are rough setts, although I never resorted to the pavement, quite enjoying the visceral thrill of rough setts.</p> <p>I hate walking pushing my bike, so will avoid this route. Good to have warning. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16594#post-224430 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:45:50 +0000 Nelly 224430@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Working for me, useful document.</p> <p>Have to be honest, in the "cyclists dismount" section I always jump on the pavement, as the cobbles there are incredibly tooth rattlingly bad !! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16594#post-224415 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 11:24:28 +0000 SRD 224415@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>hmmm...still works for me. maybe it's an internal doc? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16594#post-224410 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 11:05:29 +0000 Arellcat 224410@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em><a href="http://www.ed.ac.uk/files/atoms/files/festival_fringe_2016_-_traffic_management.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.ed.ac.uk/files/atoms/files/festival_fringe_2016_-_traffic_management.pdf</a></em></p> <p>"No such page</p> <p>This page doesn't seem to exist.
