But not exactly a very friendly option for all the family (moving across the WAR for a right turn). </p> <p>Alternatively, you could blow through the mess at the junction at the bottom (towards Dean Bridge) and go along Melville St etc?)</p> <p>With apparently 1 in 5 vehicles on Lothian Road a bike, according to Spokes, they really ought to get the signage sorted out. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=421#post-3178 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:45:47 +0000 SRD 3178@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That run up the middle of Lothian road to make a right turn onto Fountainbridge can certainly be challenging if you're not familiar with the roads. And the winds can be really bad. First time I tried it, I had to get off and walk because I kept getting blown off-course. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=421#post-3175 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 11:30:03 +0000 chdot 3175@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>(Not allowed on WAR)</p> <p>And will there be signs?</p> <p><a href="http://lothianbuses.com/travel/?shandwick-place-westbound-temporary-closure-to-traffic-218.html" rel="nofollow">http://lothianbuses.com/travel/?shandwick-place-westbound-temporary-closure-to-traffic-218.html</a></p> <p>Lothian Road will be MUCH worse than usual. </p>
