I know people should cycle and walk and hopefully distances are short enough to encourage this and not result in another attraction with a big car park. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5830#post-62555 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:40:05 +0000 amir 62555@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-17487105" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-17487105</a></p> <p>"Work on the Helix project, which also includes a canal extension, pathways and cycle networks, began in February 2011."</p> <p>There are smaller versions of the Kelpie heads in front of the airport. </p>
