It's just a pain, always has been, and in the words of my brother is treated like a 'race track' (it's pretty straight, and wide, just peppered with roundabouts whihch are to be whizzed between).</p> <p>I've ridden it a couple of times (about 14 years ago when living in Aberdeen) and it's not for the faint-, mid-, or stronghearted... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8957#post-91797 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:58:19 +0000 Min 91797@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Poor guy.

Having driven it on numerous occasions I can see why WC's brother tends to avoid it.</p> <p>Horrible news. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8957#post-91784 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:14:46 +0000 custard 91784@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Anderson+Drive+aberdeen&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=57.144674,-2.148758&amp;spn=0.00123,0.003192&amp;sll=53.800651,-4.064941&amp;sspn=10.978171,26.147461&amp;t=h&amp;hnear=Anderson+Dr,+Aberdeen,+Aberdeen+City,+United+Kingdom&amp;z=19" rel="nofollow">https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Anderson+Drive+aberdeen&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=57.144674,-2.148758&amp;spn=0.00123,0.003192&amp;sll=53.800651,-4.064941&amp;sspn=10.978171,26.147461&amp;t=h&amp;hnear=Anderson+Dr,+Aberdeen,+Aberdeen+City,+United+Kingdom&amp;z=19</a></p> <p>looks a busy road? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8957#post-91746 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:01:55 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 91746@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Prompted me to phone my brother. His kicking out time and his route (although turns out it's slightly further west than his usual, and he tends to avoid Anderson Drive anyway).</p> <p>Thoughts with the family - even 5 minutes worry not being able to get hold of him wasn't pleasant. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8957#post-91731 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:42:04 +0000 MeepMeep 91731@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-20419642">Aberdeen Cyclist Dies after Collision with Tractor</a></p> <p>Sad news.
