As @gibbo says any annoyance at inconvenience is quickly overridden by smugness at avoiding the alternative. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17985#post-256555 Thu, 03 Aug 2017 07:38:06 +0000 gibbo 256555@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I suppose, as a cyclist, if you're headed west from Morrison St, you just walk your bike past all the stationary cars until you get to Haymarket Yards. </p> <p>Any inconvenience should be outweighed by the joy of getting one over the people in their metal cages.</p> <p>(You could put a sign on the back of your bike: "If you were a cyclist, you'd be home by now.") </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17985#post-256531 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 15:12:42 +0000 Stickman 256531@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From 4th September until next summer for sewer works: lots of fun and games. All lanes closed eastbound with diversions round Magdala &amp; Eglinton Crescents; only one lane westbound. </p> <p>Will be interesting to see if there is any traffic evaporation. </p> <p>Maybe they could stick in a segregated bike lane while they are at it. </p> <p><a href="http://www.scottishwater.co.uk/Investment-and-Communities/Your-Community/Haymarket-Terrace" rel="nofollow">http://www.scottishwater.co.uk/Investment-and-Communities/Your-Community/Haymarket-Terrace</a> </p>
