It seems to clip in at the far kerb and the painted lines don't give you much of an accurate guide.</p> <p>I have been known to pull into the main lane of traffic when not sure a vehicle would be stopping... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7207#post-75264 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:58:47 +0000 Instography 75264@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Balgreen Road junction was always my least favourite bit of that road. Lots of quick right turning as drivers try to cut across traffic to get onto Balgreen Road or hurried lefts to join the traffic on Corstorphine Road. Was never 100% sure that drivers had seen me or wouldn't take the chance. Hope the bloke's OK. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7207#post-75260 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:39:43 +0000 lionfish 75260@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Another brief article (I found the first link's not working). <a href="http://local.stv.tv/edinburgh/107111-cyclist-in-hospital-after-being-knocked-off-bike-by-rush-hour-motorist/" rel="nofollow">http://local.stv.tv/edinburgh/107111-cyclist-in-hospital-after-being-knocked-off-bike-by-rush-hour-motorist/</a></p> <p>Hope they're ok. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7207#post-75254 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:15:40 +0000 MeepMeep 75254@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Min: the very same thought hadn't escaped me but I hadn't articulated it in my earlier post. There's always a reasonable number of cyclists travelling either way along that road, particularly around peak times. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7207#post-75235 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 12:49:07 +0000 SRD 75235@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sorry for duplication! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7207#post-75233 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 12:46:30 +0000 Min 75233@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And these are just the ones that we know about.</p> <p>I hope the guy is okay. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7207#post-75232 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 12:44:17 +0000 MeepMeep 75232@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Also posted here: <a href="http://www.citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7194">Cyclist down - Corstorphine Road</a></p> <p>It's certainly the third I can recall straight off.
