We went through the back streets to the WGH area and it was clear from there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18222#post-263235 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 12:21:00 +0000 chdot 263235@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/gridlock-at-dean-bridge-during-rush-hour-commute-1-4584594" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/gridlock-at-dean-bridge-during-rush-hour-commute-1-4584594</a> </p>
