Not to be confused with the similarly scarce Up Dsupt Nipt Sbc Tae (Utterly pointless Dundonian shared use path to Nowhere in particular that Stops before connecting To anything else). </p> <p>These two exotics can occasionally be seen hosting the extremely endangered species Brave Dundonian Cyclist. The latter is considered a hardy perennial, and the two seem to co-exist in a symbiotic, if not necessarily mutually beneficial relationship. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20076#post-322160 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 21:40:44 +0000 LaidBack 322160@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've used Dundee a few times to get north. More trains and on Edin to Arbroath ones you don't need a booking.<br /> Going out you leave station and can cycle across dual carriageway opposite V&amp;A and out to the west. This is quite good beside Tay but progressively becomes more challenging as really just a pavement. Often see people coming in from Ninewells or using to run or cycle as sport.<br /> Eventually you have to join the road to the infamous Swallow Roundabout. Here you cross the A90. Relatively easy as long as you're not intimidated by HGVs.<br /> Once over you head up to Muirhead on quiet roads. Theses now have various housing devs so some traffic but preferable to uphill in city.<br /> Reversing the route I often stay on roads as downhill and fast enough. Umpteen roundabouts and skirts Lochee.</p> <p>When we did family rides using train with our compact tandem and a solo we did use a route that went through industrial estate and Ninewells and onto Camperdown park. Had a culvert cycle path under A90. Narrow with glass. Mrs LB was not impressed. For daughter it was just an adventure.</p> <p>Used to think things would be better by now... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20076#post-322156 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 20:59:57 +0000 Frenchy 322156@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@56.4676877,-2.9632472,3a,75y,349.22h,65.47t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQiEpqYYrSQb9xJAot-TsSA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192">this</a>, <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@56.4675642,-2.9618339,3a,75y,65.21h,80.95t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1som1ZwM_hn8pgWX4msRthcg!2e0!5s20180601T000000!7i16384!8i8192">this</a>, <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@56.4641342,-2.9548149,3a,75y,58.94h,74.93t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sImK9eQXwn2NxXwMKytWx2w!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DImK9eQXwn2NxXwMKytWx2w%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D172.95079%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656">this</a> and...er...that might be it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20076#post-322154 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 20:49:10 +0000 gembo 322154@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@daveycykl - Aberdeen pips Dundee in cycle unfriendliness. Dundee has a bit down by the silvery Tay? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20076#post-322152 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 20:01:28 +0000 davecykl 322152@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>OK, that's weird… I'm sure the street view imagery was older (and didn't show the cycle lane) when I looked earlier on, only the aerial photography, but now you can see it in all its glory(?). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20076#post-322149 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 19:42:13 +0000 CycleAlex 322149@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Orcas too!
