Assuming it was the council what did it, though not sure if it was done manually or by a wee machine. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19258#post-356971 Thu, 18 Nov 2021 15:39:43 +0000 neddie 356971@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Safe Cycling South Edinburgh are looking for volunteers this weekend to clear leaves from the Comiston Rd lanes:</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Cyclesouthedin/status/1461013161641975809" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/Cyclesouthedin/status/1461013161641975809</a></p> <p><blockquote>Asking again for volunteers to help clear leaves from Comiston Road cycle lanes/pavement.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how you'd fix it given the amount of earth around it that will shift down with any amount of rain. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19258#post-356739 Fri, 12 Nov 2021 13:37:32 +0000 CocoShepherd 356739@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Leaf mulch and hidden sharp objects did a number on my tyres this morning around the Cramond brig. Several punctures but they were no match for the tubeless setup. A few thousand pumps of the mini-pump and I was back on the road in no time with oil free hands </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19258#post-295283 Thu, 08 Nov 2018 14:07:45 +0000 Cyclingmollie 295283@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The paths here in Musselburgh aren't too bad. The one that runs parallel to Daiches Brae could do with a sweep. Other bits of East Lothian are like this:</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/2bDmjPS"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4911/45054936144_d7f5723c15.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19258#post-295245 Thu, 08 Nov 2018 10:47:20 +0000 wingpig 295245@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Water of Leith path on the back-of-Largo-Place section up to the Great Junction Street bridge is always the first bit to get fully-carpeted.<br /> NEPN at the Pilton access point.<br /> WoL again between Newhaven Road and South Fort Street. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19258#post-295233 Thu, 08 Nov 2018 08:38:41 +0000 Rosie 295233@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Has anyone come across a particularly egregious example of an uncleared path? </p>
