Some of the surfaces, especially at the northern end, are suboptimally rough and badly need swept, but a far nicer experience than the previous choice between door zone or passive aggressive close passes as drivers desperate to get to Aldi slide past your elbow. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20549#post-349249 Tue, 06 Apr 2021 17:00:59 +0000 neddie 349249@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><blockquote>I hate that quiet route, so indirect</blockquote></p> <p>Yeah, I got lost on that "route", where you have to double-back on yourself at the end of a cul-de-sac, and someone had naughtily swivelled the sign around</p> <p>Here: <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/twwFXYcSJtF4hJjW8" rel="nofollow">https://goo.gl/maps/twwFXYcSJtF4hJjW8</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20549#post-349247 Tue, 06 Apr 2021 16:56:33 +0000 Frenchy 349247@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's really part of a northeast-southwest route (highlighted in blue <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/55.9100/-3.1437&amp;layers=C">here</a>), rather than for those cycling on Gilmerton Road itself. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20549#post-349246 Tue, 06 Apr 2021 16:48:59 +0000 toomanybikes 349246@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's to connect to the circuitous quiet route turning on the left of the photo there. Means you can cycle across the road at the traffic lights rather than at that island.</p> <p>I hate that quiet route, so indirect.</p> <p>Also the cycle lane looks so unnecessarily narrow where the white car is, but I guess the road may narrow further up. Haven't cycled that way in ages. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20549#post-349244 Tue, 06 Apr 2021 16:42:30 +0000 PedalpushingPete 349244@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>G'day all</p> <p>New here and hoping to tap into collective wisdom on cycling in the capital.</p> <p>Can I ask about the southbound cycle lane in Gilmerton (near the Morrison's store junction). It appears to be joined at this point by a northbound cycle lane?</p> <p>Can anyone who has cycled this route point out the logic of this and how I might use it on a run in to town from the south?</p> <p>Thanks<br /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/N1fnxtt/Gilmton-cycle-lan.jpg"> </p>
