Locked to the Holyrood info sign as the racks were already all in use. No idea what others did. Lots of bikes. A bit frustrating how the park run website encourages bike use even though there’s not really adequate facilities. </p> <p>Interesting parkrun. Much fitter/faster group than I recall from<br /> the Cramond parkrun a few years ago.</p> <p>Also ‘interesting’ dynamics with the groups of roadies climbing the hill at the same time. Mostly good natured, although I shook my head at an old guy who went up ringing his bell constantly ‘ding, ding, ding’. </p> Frenchy on "Holyrood bike parking (st Margaret’s loch)" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21057#post-362349 Fri, 05 Aug 2022 19:36:56 +0000 Frenchy 362349@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There are racks <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@55.9538461,-3.1592235,3a,15y,159.99h,86t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1se_LrLRyshUTA7QSNT16tXQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3De_LrLRyshUTA7QSNT16tXQ%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D172.34888%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192">here</a> which are closer (but not necessarily better). </p> SRD on "Holyrood bike parking (st Margaret’s loch)" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21057#post-362347 Fri, 05 Aug 2022 17:30:39 +0000 SRD 362347@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Micro SRD and I are planning to attend the new Holyrood park run tomorrow. It apparently starts at st Margaret’s loch. </p> <p>Is the best bike parking at the car park near the palace? Or somewhere else? </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
