It's still noticeably worse than the fiveways-Warriston north-south section for large groups of leadless dogs milling around blank-eyed owners.</p> <p>Wonder if there are any plans to put any sort of markings on fiveways along the lines of those applied to the MMW/NMW junction when they re-did the Meadows kerbing? Will the extra south-leading path challenge the current general sense of east-west priority? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3908#post-41838 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 10:42:56 +0000 PS 41838@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looked like your were just floating along there, chdot! Might just select that as a nice flat bit of path to do my first post-collarbone-break ride on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3908#post-41786 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 19:38:50 +0000 kaputnik 41786@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Needs more dogleads.</p> <p>Nice bit of tarmac though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3908#post-41763 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 13:28:00 +0000 Bhachgen 41763@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lovely surface and definitely a shorter route to 5-ways for me when heading that way.

Have they sealed-up the edges properly? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3908#post-40862 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 10:50:51 +0000 Min 40862@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cool. I don't think I will need to use it much but will give it a try soon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3908#post-40861 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 10:45:18 +0000 riffian 40861@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Rode along the newly metalled Chancelot Path last night and this morning. Very smooth and pleasant to ride. Knocks a wee bit off my commute. I seem to be the only rider using it currently as I didn't encounter a single other cyclist on either journey!<br /> It's an excellent addition to the North Ed path network - get out there and use it folks! </p>
