I'll be tea'd out then as my mum lives in Charlestown and I'd be sure to have a cup or three there... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5215#post-55746 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:20:58 +0000 Instography 55746@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The great thing is it's a 20mph limit through the village so you can cruise up to the sign and still end up on the naughty step. There's another heading into Limekilns from the A985.</p> <p>(ps If you're heading this way, give me a shout and I'll make you a cup of tea). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5215#post-55745 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:01:56 +0000 crowriver 55745@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No longer Limekilns once you climb the cobbled hill (going West), it's Charlestown from then on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5215#post-55742 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:50:48 +0000 DaveC 55742@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Crowriver! Damb man you are right. Its in Limekilns as you head east to the village center. We cycled past it a few weeks ago! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5215#post-55728 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:18:25 +0000 crowriver 55728@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's one in Charlestown too. Quite fun as it's on a downhill stretch. Seems to tally with the bike computer too... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5215#post-55725 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:00:28 +0000 kaputnik 55725@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's one at Inveresk that reacts to cyclists. Used to be one on way into Wallyford, but that's gone now </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5215#post-55720 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:35:27 +0000 chdot 55720@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"No matter how fast I am I have yet to see a sign react to me"</p> <p>The one in Millerhill (village) works fine. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5215#post-55718 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:21:29 +0000 DaveC 55718@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've seen those Speed signs on the CX circuits. They say "11 C'mon. Dig In!!"....</p> <p>Actually this reminds me of the Cotic X Youtube video where the guy flies through the speed sign and it shows 33mph :-(.... No matter how fast I am I have yet to see a sign react to me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5215#post-55712 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:42:12 +0000 kaputnik 55712@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ooh I must find the one on Lower Granton Road to, er, give my speedo a calibration test! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5215#post-55700 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:09:55 +0000 LivM 55700@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Had a jolly ride home last night - first of all there were police on Waterfront Avenue with a radar trap (who kindly shouted out "16!" to me as I "whizzed" past) and then there is a new speed display on Lower Granton Road (near the Saab garage) which will spot a cyclist's speed too ("13 - Thank You" - going uphill). </p>
