The crossings there are uncontrolled but outside of rush hour if you're careful you can jog the bike across both the slip roads, and there's a proper lights controlled crossing on the northern side. The last roads down into the centre itself are a take your chances affair I'm afraid, the pavements are meagre even for peds and aren't shared use.</p> <p>I managed it okay for the vaccines last year and I'd only been back on the bike for a few months at that point, so it's not a terrible route. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21085#post-362985 Thu, 25 Aug 2022 16:12:07 +0000 doorsgalaxy 362985@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have just heard from the organisers that there will be a bike parking area next to the box office, which is near the main entrance. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21085#post-362980 Thu, 25 Aug 2022 15:43:04 +0000 doorsgalaxy 362980@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm going to the Connect Festival out at the Royal Highland Show this weekend. I have never needed to go here before.<br /> Assuming they have cycle parking (their website says nothing about cycling at all - but I have contacted them to enquire and can report back) I would plan to cycle. What is the recommended route from town? A8 looks nightmarish; is the footpth dual use (and if so, north or southside?).</p> <p>Cheers all. </p>
