But at least they aren't going to squish me to death against the wall/railing! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17404#post-242031 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 15:28:58 +0000 Frenchy 242031@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Think they're mainly a problem in August, but pedicabs occasionally park in the bike lane just before the corner there too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17404#post-242020 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 13:35:17 +0000 mgj 242020@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You missed out the delivery vehicles parked both before and after the corner, plus drivers turning right down Market Street 'forcing' straight on traffic to cut across the cycle lane. And the poor road surface. Surprised there aren't more accidents there. Hope they are OK. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17404#post-242019 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 13:30:44 +0000 ARobComp 242019@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is a drain cover right on that corner that is super greasy, add to that the fact that buses cut that corner and cars rarely do it well and it's a pretty horrid experience. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17404#post-242013 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 11:30:43 +0000 CJC 242013@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I hate that corner. Very badly designed and encourages conflict between vehicles and bikes.</p> <p>Obviously don't know the circumstances, but I never use the cycle lane there - it feels very dangerous to me. Hope the cyclist is ok </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17404#post-242011 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 11:22:23 +0000 Stickman 242011@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"@EdinReporter</p> <p>Looks like a cyclist down on The Mound but talking to paramedics @edintravel"</p> <p><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/EdinReporter/status/827089184393404416" rel="nofollow">https://mobile.twitter.com/EdinReporter/status/827089184393404416</a> </p>
