I don't mind hills too much, but hills combined with loads of traffic light stops will drive me mad!</p> <p>I recently filled my wheels with this kevlar lining in an effort to reduce punctures. Oh my god it's an effort to get up hills now! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=599#post-4838 Thu, 01 Apr 2010 12:54:57 +0000 chdot 4838@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Hello.

I'm new here, so apologies if this isn't the correct place to ask this!</p> <p>I've just moved down to West Granton Road (EH5 1FB) and commute to St Mary's Street (EH1 1SX).</p> <p>So far I've been heading down the Telford/Roseburn cycleway to the A8 then nipping down Haymarket -&gt; Lothian Road -&gt; Kings Stables Road -&gt; Cowgate -&gt; St Mary's Street.</p> <p>This is a bit longer than using the roads but there is obviously way less traffic lights/cars/suicidal pedestrians to concern myself with.</p> <p>My query is, does anyone have any route suggestions that would further cut down the amount of time spent on the road? Specifically from the A8 onwards.</p> <p>I don't mind a longer or radically different route, the key thing is that I spend more time on cycle paths. </p> <p>Thanks a lot,<br /> David </p>
