Not keen to start my day with a smashed knee.</p> <p>Those chicanes... it looks pretty easy to drive in behind them? So, making life difficult for folks who need a smooth surface and space while not actually preventing motor vehicles from accessing the path.<br /> Right. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21259#post-366855 Wed, 01 Mar 2023 10:57:47 +0000 Baldcyclist 366855@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I walked the path recently whilst doing the Fife coastal path walk from St Andrews to Newport on Tay.</p> <p>A few folks passed me on bikes whist I was on it, so it appeared well used. The path is OK if a bit lumpy in places. I'd probably avoid the bit through Guardbridge though and stay on road there. The path behind the houses was mulch laden and pretty slipery in places, as well as having chicane barriers as already pointed out. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21259#post-366854 Wed, 01 Mar 2023 09:31:41 +0000 Frenchy 366854@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I concur with Murun's assessment of the A91 path - it's pretty good (by UK standards at least). Worth noting that, unless they've been removed in the last few years, there are some chicanes in Guardbridge <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@56.3595997,-2.8909547,3a,32y,123.89h,86.57t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s8PTh4sgpqFl085ekPxliIQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656">like this</a>, which some folk will need to take a detour to avoid. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21259#post-366850 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 22:21:41 +0000 the canuck 366850@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah, I took the bus last time, and it was not pleasant. Especially as I got out 5 stops early... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21259#post-366828 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 12:03:29 +0000 acsimpson 366828@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I had a chat with the staff at Edinburgh Gateway about Fife trains last week. They said that if the train stops at Gateway then reservations are not only no required but they are also not possible. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21259#post-366818 Mon, 27 Feb 2023 19:55:26 +0000 chdot 366818@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Conference starting 9:15?</p> <p>Doubt if trains from Edinburgh early enough would be a problem. </p> <p>Certainly no booking needed on Dundee trains.

The A91 cycle path is pretty good by UK standards, quite a lot of it is well divided from the road.</p> <p>I did get a p*nct*re last time I was on it, but I think I was a magnet for them on that ride. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21259#post-366815 Mon, 27 Feb 2023 19:05:08 +0000 the canuck 366815@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a conference there this weekend. Lsat time I went, there was a lot of hanging around a cold and windy station for the bus.</p> <p>In my wisdom, I've decided it would be better to experience that cold and wind on a cycle.</p> <p>Any issues getting on that train with a bike? ScotRail says no reservation needed, and it's fairly early in the morning that I'm heading out, and early evening return.</p> <p>The A91 seems to have a cycle path next to it, but are there better routes? </p>
