It around the entrance to Scotstoun park where there is a large patch of sand on the road. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17213#post-237922 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 16:22:12 +0000 acsimpson 237922@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It certainly looked like it to me this morning. I had forgotten the warning until I saw the sand so thankfully didn't get reminded by an encounter with tarmac. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17213#post-237907 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 14:36:51 +0000 deckard112 237907@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot - I took your advice and notified West Team. Feedback from other riders last night suggests the area had been sanded/gritted/salted (words used by other to describe the remedy). I came home via Station Road so didn't see it. If that was a reaction to my tweet I'm impressed they dealt with it so quickly. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17213#post-237816 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 18:07:38 +0000 minus six 237816@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Likely from a grim construction vehicle @ the agilent housing development.

I decided to go via Kirkliston today and sounds like I got lucky. Don't like that turn very much either, especially if cars follow you on the roundabout.</p> <p>I think DaveC had a spill in that area a year or two back. Not sure if it was related. I know there were a couple of people on here who fell off at the Tesco roundabout last year due to a greasy surface.</p> <p>Wonder if it is better approaching Scotstoun via Viewforth- at least it is a left turn onto Scotstoun. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17213#post-237775 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 13:56:17 +0000 deckard112 237775@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks both, he's fine. It's not the first time I've nearly lost a wheel there, it's not a great turn. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17213#post-237739 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 11:18:13 +0000 scotti 237739@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was in the car today and saw him fall.<br /> Lots of work going on round there with the bus lane installation, added to the buses and construction traffic.<br /> I thought he'd maybe caught the tar joint as he turned in, roads were pretty damp too.<br /> Hope the rider &amp; bike didn't suffer too much damage </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17213#post-237721 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 10:21:32 +0000 chdot 237721@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Probably worth actually phoning</p> <p>"</p> <p>West neighbourhood office</p> <p>The Drum Brae Library Hub<br /> 81 Drum Brae Drive<br /> Edinburgh<br /> EH4 7FE</p> <p>Email: <a href="mailto:westteam@edinburgh.gov.uk">westteam@edinburgh.gov.uk</a></p> <p>Tel: 0131 529 7440</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/west_team" rel="nofollow">https://mobile.twitter.com/west_team</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17213#post-237717 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 10:11:56 +0000 deckard112 237717@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just a heads up for those that commute from SQ or Fife. Possible oil spill at the junction of Scotstoun Ave and B907. My back wheel kicked out but I managed to keep it upright and have just seen a fellow commuter post on Strava that he came off at exactly the same junction.</p> <p>Anyone know who best to report that to? </p>
