I had two cars overtake me driving rather agressively and quickly on the little windy road between the weir building and gate 1. </p> <p>not impressed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18314#post-265345 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 23:06:47 +0000 Frenchy 265345@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Crew building ones are usually very busy. Not shown on wingpig's image are the nearest secure ones which are in between the Joseph Black Building and the Christina Muller building, on the west side. Lots of racks at the north east entrance too, in case you find it easier to navigate sans bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18314#post-265343 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 23:01:55 +0000 SRD 265343@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>good point. forgot i had the app installed. but why does my version not show building names like yours does? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18314#post-265340 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 22:55:28 +0000 wingpig 265340@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/ZZU1Eh"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4496/38067524092_31febb9f5c_n.jpg"></a></p> <p>Cyclestreets app is better for this than any other means of viewing OSM data... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18314#post-265339 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 22:54:16 +0000 SRD 265339@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't know where any of those are (never been to KB before!), but will assume they're nearby! thanks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18314#post-265337 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 22:50:19 +0000 wingpig 265337@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Other racks outside geosciences (south of the crew building, loads by KBC, loads at Ashworth, probably loads more installed in the seventeen years since I've not been there regularly. Fortunately it was not yet fashionable to cable-tie threatening notices to bikes chained to signs and railings back then. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18314#post-265335 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 22:42:56 +0000 SRD 265335@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have a meeting tomorrow. Google maps shows 3 racks outside the entrance. Anyone know if there are other racks around? or are those racks likely to be empty? </p>
