One thing I see quite often is cars getting flashed out of a side road.</p> <p>The driver is so keen to get out onto the main road that they go straight through the red lights of a pedestrian crossing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9489#post-100346 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 01:19:37 +0000 rust 100346@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@cb I ride it quite often and I'm pretty sure 90% of the time cars aren't getting anywhere near 20 mph. </p> <p>I don't mind it too much, but it's kinda bad for drivers pulling out without looking or turning right through gaps in stationary traffic without looking for cyclists. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9489#post-100338 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:33:48 +0000 cb 100338@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lothian buses tweeted about it as a pedestrian accident. I thought I noticed a helmet but I could be wrong.</p> <p>Either way, hope they're ok.</p> <p>@srd, a 20 limit on that stretch would be a start. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9489#post-100336 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:23:12 +0000 SRD 100336@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oof. Not good. I had to go that way yesterday at rush hour. Very stressful ride. A lot of cars switching lanes w/out warning, sudden braking, tailbacks etc. </p> <p>i got to asl along with two roadie types that I'd been following. Pulled in to the side/back of them (they were going straight, I was turning) and said something like 'wow. Glad I don't have to do that everyday' . They both ignored me. I know they heard me cause they kind of almost looked at me, but then clearly decided I wasn't a proper cyclist. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9489#post-100335 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:17:16 +0000 cb 100335@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>7.20ish this evening, across the road from M&amp;S. Cyclist lying in the road being supported by someone, lots of people in attendance. There was an ambulance there later on.<br /> I really hope they are OK. </p>
