But we will follow the Union Canal path rather than the Water of Leith to make things easier. </p> <p>Some members of the group have actually not cycled for a long time. Do you think this pathway will be ok for them?</p> <p>Many thanks! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3151#post-33305 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 22:37:20 +0000 chdot 33305@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://cyclingedinburgh.info/hire" rel="nofollow">http://cyclingedinburgh.info/hire</a></p> <p>Biketrax is close to Union Canal which links in with WoL either via steps at Slateford or slightly further along to the Balerno railway path.</p> <p>Leaflets <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/ch.edinburgh/exedBB/pdfs/EE/WOL%20leaflet.pdf">WoL</a> <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/ch.edinburgh/exedBB/pdfs/EE/union%20canal%20leaflet.pdf">Canal</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3151#post-33304 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 22:29:51 +0000 bobsmyuncle 33304@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hello everyone!</p> <p>I have a wee question:</p> <p>We want to hire bikes in Edinburgh and cycle the Water of Leith. It will just be a short trip so we know we might not cover all of it. </p> <p>What we want to ask is which bike hire store would be the most convenient to join the Water of Leith. This is because we also want to return the bikes back at the end of the day. We can't seem to find one so far!</p> <p>Any help would be great and much appreciated! </p>
