Has anyone seen the new bins in Princes St Gardens? They are about 4ft high but ~7ft deep. Had to stop my son trying to peek into one last week. If he'd fallen in and the lid closed and I'd not seen it I might have gone looking for him but not found him and at 5yrs old he would never have been able to get out alone. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8237#post-82092 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:41:31 +0000 Dave 82092@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"A nightmare... one of the worst streets in the whole UK for cycling - and that's quite an honour when you consider the other ones were the M1, M6, and spaghetti junction."</p> <p>Don't worry though - as part of reconstructing the whole street there will be some minor tweaks at junctions (not including either roundabout, I fear) for cyclists' benefit.</p> <p>There will be nicer bins though... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8237#post-82087 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 22:01:34 +0000 SRD 82087@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Mark Steel on R4 today with some good lines about cycling on Leith walk.
