Presumably there is council guidance to "think about bikes" and this is how some of them do it.</p> <p>Tweet a picture to the council and Lesley and ask what's going on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17020#post-233644 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 07:51:18 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 233644@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is an unpainted kerbside "lane" which is a large parking bay </p> <p>I think that has been mistaken as a cycle lane. Easy mistake to make as most of Edinburgh's 'cycle lanes' have cars parked in them </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17020#post-233643 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 07:36:46 +0000 LivM 233643@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, that too! There is a wide pink lane at that point though, usually known as a bus lane... Maybe bus drivers should be getting off and pushing too? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17020#post-233640 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 22:46:09 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 233640@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm pretty sure the sign also said the cycle lane was closed. Which makes me think the navvies mistook the kerbside parking for a cycle lane! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17020#post-233637 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 21:42:20 +0000 LivM 233637@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No photo, sorry, but I was passing East along Stevenson Road today about here <a href="Dropped pin near 37 Stevenson Rd, Edinburgh EH11 2SH <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/RU1PpS8c1B22" rel="nofollow">https://goo.gl/maps/RU1PpS8c1B22</a>">Map</a>. The bus lane is closed for roadworks, and there is a big sign up saying basically "cyclists dismount and walk along the pavement".</p> <p>Excuse me? What about cyclists cycling along the road with the rest of the road users? Yes it's a single lane, but hardly a motorway or other unnavigable road. </p>
