(We are lucky in that we have a drive to use if we need it). The spectacle of watching the madness of coaches try to use our back street as a rat run (Pro tip: you'll get stuck going round the corner) or cabs taking their fares down the rat run and getting snarled up because the road becomes a single track with (no) passing spaces. Or people heading confidently up the dead end before realising that yes, that is a brick wall not a road. Small pleasures...<br /> Taking my evil hat off, I like to see the flow of happy people going to a match or a concert - never have any trouble, and local children raise money for charity by selling sweets or baking at their front gates. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18893#post-284428 Sat, 09 Jun 2018 22:36:23 +0000 chdot 284428@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/moonwalk-scotland-full-list-of-edinburgh-road-closures-1-4750480" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/moonwalk-scotland-full-list-of-edinburgh-road-closures-1-4750480</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18893#post-284427 Sat, 09 Jun 2018 22:31:08 +0000 chdot 284427@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/thunderstorm-warning-as-danger-to-life-rain-forecast-ahead-of-rolling-stones-gig-1-4751531" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/thunderstorm-warning-as-danger-to-life-rain-forecast-ahead-of-rolling-stones-gig-1-4751531</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18893#post-284421 Sat, 09 Jun 2018 19:22:28 +0000 Rosie 284421@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Stickman Given that the public transport links here are excellent, why the need for those on-street parked cars (blemishing in themselves)? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18893#post-284420 Sat, 09 Jun 2018 19:19:16 +0000 Rosie 284420@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Frenchy - Saw one slow moving soul wheeling through the crowds. </p> <p>Bloke on tram (Yorkshire) saying this was the 36th time he's seen the Rolling Stones. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18893#post-284415 Sat, 09 Jun 2018 16:35:19 +0000 gembo 284415@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot but I did buy some andante bread (called The Covenanter) and some extremely tasty toms at the market.

Crowd will probably be more spread out pre-concert than for a rugby match.</p> <p>Before <strike>kickoff</strike> the concert, expect these roads to be busy with pedestrians, but passable by bike (might need to walk round a barrier, but almost certainly not). @Rosie might be able to offer advice on slaloming around pedestrians.</p> <p>When the concert ends, the red roads on the map will be impassable by bike. The blue ones won't be as bad, but will still be busy. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18893#post-284331 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 22:18:06 +0000 Trixie 284331@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmm. It's not entirely clear to me what this means for bikes. Anything? Nothing much?
